Hi, couch. Just popping in to say I am still alive.

Tomorrow is the last day of school, summer is here. Then I will get to see C several mornings for a week and a half until he has camp. C is fun. I feel old...he graduated this year...I guess can no longer call him a "kid" as he is 18 and out of high school. Lol. Nah...he's still a kid to me. Next school year, he will transition into the vocational and life skills adult training program the school board offers to students like him until he is 23. So, yes...he is still a kid.

Last Friday, I spent my lunch calling other CVS stores that I would not mind taking the drive to, to say that summer was starting and requesting to be placed on their call out list for when they need help. I got an offer immediately on one of the calls for a shift tomorrow, which I had to turn down due to still having school job. I did get a call from a store yesterday though asking if I was available June 1st in the evening. I was, so I took that shift. I got a call today asking if I was available Saturday for even half a day because they were desperate for help. I had already told a co-worker at my store that I would cover their shift since they were scheduled after requesting it off...but that is only 10-2. I told the guy calling that. The store he is calling from is about 10 minutes away from my store, and he asked if I would be interested in heading to his store after I was done at my store till closing. I need the hours, so I said yes. Looks like I will easily find hours at other stores again this summer...good....I need at least 30 hours a week to survive this summer and due to corporate cut-backs, I know I can not get that many at my store consistently. I got a text tonight from a pharmacist that fills in at our store sometimes asking if I was available June 4th for a 10-7 shift at a extended-hour store. It is about an hour away from where I live (so it was not one of the stores I called on my own), but the pharm who texted me knew I was on summer then and looking for hours. I was off from my store that day and only had 20 hours scheduled there, so I decided for a shift that long an hour drive is worth it. I am getting hours, yay! Even if it is at various stores.
