I usually work a 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift on Saturdays, but when my replacement failed to arrive by 3:15 I asked my editor what was up. Turns out the usual 3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. reporter was on vacation and her substitute didn't realize he had to work for her.
So the upshot was that I volunteered to work a double shift. I'm here for 2 more hours, until 11:15. I am doing this because I have been promised overtime and, frankly, we could really use the money.
I expect to spend lots of time tomorrow with The Little Girl. Drew had hoped to replace his car's bald tires today, but that will have to wait until very early Monday morning when he's on his way to Seattle.
I think we'll buy a kid's backpack at REI so we can take Rachel on hikes and she'll be up high, away from the crowds. Then I think a visit to the pool is definitely in order! I want to keep going as long as the temperatures stay in the 80s and 90s in the hope that the more Rachel is around water, the more she'll love it.
