tcb and belated bday67


After all, it is Wednesday.
I even washed the sheets that were on the bed, so I'll have fresh ones tonight!
Did I separate the sheets from the clothes?
Nope!
It all went into the one quadruple-load machine to spin around together for $5.34 - an unusual amount, but SUDS gives 25% on hump day.
Hooray!
 
That was all done by noon30, the time of so many of the SMF concerts I love to usher!
That was good, as the day had started in the low 80's on its way to the low 90's.
Oh, and let's not forget the return of the +10 heat index.
This is my third day of a new SVF13 position: VoD.
As the Volunteer on Duty, I have been tasked with serving in stand-by mode, for a five-hour shift, in case Lani Winslet needs an errand performed.
I volunteered for four such shifts.
The first was on Monday prevening, from 3 PM until 8 PM.
I checked in with her by text, but she replied she hadn't any tasks for me.
 
When I hadn't heard more by 6:15 PM, I went on to Music Bingo!
Such a lovely time with Sandy, Elissa, Marcia, and Amanda, as well as three of Amanda's coworkers at the Habersham YMCA!
I didn't win anything, but I had lots of fun trading quips with Elissa!
Plus, I found out the kid-sized chicken fingers, grilled, with crispy house kettle chips was perfect for my appetite and my budget - most def a winner!
I had my phone on the whole time and Lani didn't need me.
Good!
Tuesday, knowing I had an evening concert that I didn't want to miss, my VoD shift was scheduled from 11:30 AM until 3 PM. 
Again, I checked in with Lani, and she told me she would check to see if anyone needed me to get anything done for them.
About 1:30 PM, she texted to turn me loose... and I went off to see "Freakier Friday" at AMC and eat popcorn!
That just may be the only A*List movie I see this week.
It was a good one, too, so I am fine with that being the case!
Today was another evening shift for VoD, so I checked in about 1 PM to remind Lani that I was there should a task or two need doing.
She thanked me... and I heard no more.
 
Meanwhile, I took care of things around the house, mostly paperwork.
I considered seeing a movie about 6 PM, but opted to go to Oglethorpe Mall instead.
I had a late birthday gift from Bath & Body Works that expires tomorrow, so... I used it to get a quart of hand soap refill!
I also got a bottle of gel soap in that same flavor - Kitchen Lemon - and my total bill was $3.51.
Hooray!!!
That's because I had a 5-buck gift card from AARP points!
I also had the bday67 Panera gift card from my dear blue-sky Penny in my back pocket - hooray!
So off I went in search of dinner and found it in the form of the new Italian Steak & Mozz sandwich.
I had every intention of just eating half of it, but it was soooo gooood!!!
Thank you, thank you, my dear cousin!
What a wonderful, worthwhile, working Wednesday I've had!
i thank You, God!
