Short Days...

Today is one of my short days... four hours of "open time" plus a couple hours overseeing the cleaning of the floors. Add to that a bit of time to file monthly sales tax, and I'll be at the store for something on the order of five... five and a half hours tonight. Yesterday, I was here long enough to drop Skribl and some soda and water inventory off, receive said inventory into the point-of-sale system, and say hello to the wife. Monday, I plan to be here long enough to get an order placed. Total amount of hours being worked in-store... roughly ten. After having worked twelve-plus hour days for the better part of three years, weekends like this feel *REALLY* weird.

Today, I got some gaming in, though. I started a new game that will run off-site for a bit. I'm honestly not seeing this game going for long. It's really just an opportunity for me to flex my GM-muscles and "keep in shape" as you will. Just with the one session, though, I am already having thoughts about other games I want to run again. Plus, with all of this "free time" I'm having lately, it may actually become a reality. No bets, though...

Once I get settled into my "new" schedule, I may even begin to flex the cooking muscles once again, and I know that Loq and the kids would *love* that. With twenty years of food service experience behind me, plus a mother and grandmother from the South, and a Cajun great-grandmother to learn from as I grew up, I have a pretty damn good set of keys to the stove (as it were) and the ability to grill like a fiend.

Hmmmmmm.... Hawaiian burgers or Dave tacos sound *REALLY* good, or maybe something different...

We'll have to see...
