Finally, Some Time Off!

May was a very busy month for us. We had 29 calls, with five of those on one day. During the last few days, we were short one funeral director because he was on his honeymoon. I worked four weekends in a row, two of which I was supposed to have off. I also ended up working one Thursday when I was supposed to be off. In all, I haven't had a lot of time away from work. Thankfully, the newlywed is back, business has calmed down, and it looks like I'll finally be able to enjoy some time off. Today I am off, and I have some errands to run this afternoon. I'll be getting my eyes checked and getting new glasses, which I desperately need. I also need to run by the grocery, dry cleaners, and library.

This Saturday I'm taking my family bike-riding on one of the State Park bike trails. I'm looking forward to that so much. It will be the first family outing in about six months or more. We'll be rising early, having breakfast at Denny's, then we'll make the drive to the bike rental shop and spend a couple of hours on the trail. I plan on taking my camera, so perhaps Saturday night or Sunday I can post a few pictures.
