More cucumbers every day

The plan was for me to sleep really well last night and get caught up from the weekend, so I can get everything done before my next trip, without having to be stressed and panick-y.

Yesterday I worked until almost 3, with no break, not a good plan for me, but it was Payroll day, so I had to stay until it was done. I depend on Alison to finalize and approve the time cards before I can actually pay everyone. Then I went to ALPS because Gloria was anxious for me to meet with her. There was drama camp going on, lots of noisy small children, making it hard to balance the checkbook, etc. I finally got home about 5. The Captain was grumpy for several reasons. The pump had broken and he wanted to know if we would spring for another one. I said we should wait a while, as long as we were allowed to water, and buy a soaker hose instead. I told him I thought we should be able to get away with watering once a week, and we could probably put away most of the rain barrels. They had contacted a cleaning lady, Denise, and she was here at 3:00, but I was not. Ray showed her around and she called in the evening and said she would come for $100. Captain said he would do it for that.

Vanessa made whiskey sours and Ray made dinner, so that I could relax, but I am still feelig a little stressed. It was somewhat cooler last night and not too humid, so Ray opened up the windows.

I am sad because I have decided not to take any more classes. It is $1200 for one class this fall.
