"Down The Stretch They Come"

Those marvelous words that the announcer screams over the public address system at Churchill Downs as the lead horses take the final turn in the Kentucky Derby.

Last full day at work. So far I have put in a tad over 24 hours in the past two days - not including 5 hours of driving.

Got into the office this morning at 6:28 AM (up at 4:11 AM). So if I clock out at 6:30 PM that leaves 4 hours to work tomorrow and I am on the road home. I usually get in the office on Thursday's at 5:30 AM, so I should be on the road by no later than 10 AM and home by Noon.

This has been a long haul, the past two weeks, and I am looking forward to getting a schedule for normal life - being home every evening, running or walking again, winterizing the house, training the new dog, trying to sleep in and get up at 6:00 AM (yeah). I can TRY and stay up and watch some TV with Jen, shows that she enjoys.

So, here I am, less than 16 hours and counting. Next week starts my new "job" in earnest - finding another source of income.
