My Half-Day Off

I normally have Thursdays off. Since Chris is off most days by 9am-ish, he and Sam get to go do lots of fun things together. They go to the beach, parks, the aquarium, kite flying, canoeing, and other fun stuff. It's nice that they get to spend so much time together. Since I work full-time at my 9-6 job, I miss out on most of it. So lately Chris has been planning things for my days off to make sure that I don't feel left out.

So yesterday we went on a hike together--just the three of us! It was a beautiful day, and a nice little trail (the place is called Meadowdale Park for any of you locals who want to go check it out). We hiked down to a rocky beach, had lunch, and hiked back.

When we got home, we all took a nap. I woke up to the phone ringing--it was one of our employees wondering where I was. I am the one who does the scheduling over at the bakery, and normally I don't give myself a shift because I work full-time at my other job. But this week I was on the schedule because I got Labor Day off and we are training a new girl. I completely spaced that I was supposed to be there at noon, and we got their call at 2:15! Oops! I was so embarrassed! I told Chris I should be fired! He was so nice and went over right away and worked my first hour until I was cleaned up and ready to work.

So for making sure I have fun things planned on my day off, and being willing to cover part of my shift, Chris is a pretty wonderful guy and I think I'll keep him around!
