Debbie's Day Off......

I love this. Working a standard hospital shift (one day off during the week and every other w/e) plus working the PM shift has simply opened up my life for ME! Not all my friends like it cause they go "what's your day off? We want to....." I'm good with missing the occaisonal group outing, I don't feel left out. The fact that I no longer have to take my w/e off to prepare for the workweek has made me a new woman.
We started the morning with a ride to Fiesta Island...soon to be a thing of the past. The Island is going the way of most beach front property....develop, develop and develop. Dogs will no longer be allowed, parking lots will be paved and commercialism will reign. PB is not very dog friendly anyway, not like OB and La Mesa. Sammie was so happy to be there, she went right into the water without even a concern that it was moving! She tried to play with some new friends but they were a tad younger. Still, Hide and Seek can be played successfully if you are cunning enough.
I came home and put Mom's lunch together, did the dishes and showered. Then I took myself out to see the "Nanny Diaries", very cute movie but I am very excited about Jodie Foster's upcoming movie and hope to get there Monday. After the movie I went to the pet store and signed in to walk..."Killer". Yeah, he really tried to kill my shoe and my purse. He sprawled on the grass and I believe he was trying to hump my arm at one point. He is on sale, under $500. He is not your typical "cute puppy" and a bit hyper, so his uniqueness is missed by people. He definitely will require a patient owner. The puppies there do look pretty healthy and I think the outdoor time they get with people is a positive impact for them.
Now I will chill out for the rest of my day, mom will be getting up soon and have her dinner and then back to her cave. I hear those shrimp calling my name.........
