Not So Suddenly Saturday

It’s not so suddenly Saturday this week. I’m happy it is however. Didn’t I just blog about my house being a complete mess? I look back at this past week with a smile and a little exhaustion. I had a great night after work on Wednesday. You know who you are, thank you for that! The next day I was at the Twins vs. Indians game. The Tribe won. Thank you Indians for that. Last night, not so good, see Today’s Bad (below). But now it’s time to rest, relax a little and have a little fun this weekend. I’ve earned it. The week ahead? Three more days to the end of sweeps. Thanks for that. So…

With the flight booked, plans made, the passport has arrived. Now, let the countdown begin to Europe! I’m going to spend part of this weekend figuring out the itinerary. I’ll also have to make some hotel reservations. We’re flying out of Cleveland to Amsterdam for the wedding then back from Paris. Somehow, the journey must be made from The Netherlands to France, with a stop in Switzerland.

United States Postal Service slip-up: When I got my priority mail return envelope, the postal clerk didn’t charge me for the new rate. I had postage due on my passport so the Government wanted $1.85 from me. The postal clerk rang my doorbell but by the time I got there, she’d left. I had to get up this morning and go to the Post Office to claim the envelope and pay the extra cash.

Today’s Good: I got my passport so another one portion of the trip is complete. Even though, I had to jump through a couple of hoops to get it. I know after the trip, I’ll be able to report it all being worth it.

Today’s Bad: It’s a bad one too. The “Q” phone is on the fritz. I have to take it back to the Sprint store and claim a new one. The LCD screen is bunko. Not cool. The phone works but
the most important part otherwise doesn’t. Thank God I have Sprint insurance. I’m not paying the deductible though. I’ve only had the phone for just more than 45 days. How’s it supposed to last two years?
