Feels the way she used to feel

The 6:30 can-you-work-for-me? text is much easier to take than the 6:30 phone call. Doesn't rip one from sleep in quite as traumatic a way. But after a seven and a half hour day with one 30 minute semi-break I find myself bloody-minded and out of charity with half the staff. Quick, happy pills! Find the good side in this!

Well, if I can still move come tomorrow morning (no guarantees) I may be doing many more shifts than I want to I had thought possible. Which means more money from the Canada Pension Plan. Why, just last Friday they sent me a note to say that since I'd continued working after 65, my CPP payment would be upped by $1.15 a month, and I was due for a lump retroactive payment of- wait for it- $9.05!!!

Yes, well. Maybe I'll try bed with the AC on high.

However much one tries to convince one's self that extra money is always good, it's difficult to manage an "oh joy, oh rapture unforeseen" for $9.05.

May you sleep well and comfortably.

Thank you, I did. The weather was nice enough to cook off without sturm und drang, and I didn't need the AC at all.

Ooo! The riches! hmmm that's at least a nice sit down somewhere in a cafe with something to eat and have a drink too ... and maybe some small change spare?

It's precisely 'latte and muffin and two dollar tip' at my local, so I shall be pleased at CPP giving me a free indulgence.
