In my personal life…
Greg’s work schedule has been adjusted so that he alternates
shifts with co-workers instead of working together as a team. Some of his best
buddies are work mates so this week has been an adjustment; lots of phone
calls, texts and emails.
Because of his schedule change, we have 6 full days together
before he returns to work next week. I imagine we might get on one another’s
nerves a little bit by the end of our extended staycation but so far we’re good
and I’m enjoying our extra couple time. Just wish we could be at the beach right now
instead of at home. Hoping we’ll get to the beach at some point this year, and fingers
crossed hurricane season won’t be too bad. Knock wood.
