The day started pretty early (for me) at 6:30 a.m. I had a tough time sleeping last night -- tossing and turning while thinking about whether I could really handle an overnight job at Kohl's and whether I could also handle a day job with Target at the same time. Also, trying to understand why I'm pushing to work at a low-paying job when it may very well have a negative effect on my unemployment. Guess I just don't want to be non-productive. [Note: I have yet to hear back from Target after going in for the drug test last week, so I don't know how the conversation will go once they do finally call.]
Anyway, up at 6:30 so I could get onto the Younkers website and take advantage of their early bird savings for the big sale today. Ended up ordering quite a lot and saving a ton of money using the savings book from Jack's school. I even got free delivery.
Alex came over for a while and played Wii and we set up a road race with cars. It was quite a fun morning, after which I thought maybe I'd go out to walk around the mall and see about other deals. The number of people out shopping was unbelievable! I know it's always busy at the mall on Saturdays, and the holiday season is approaching, but I was still surprised. While I was in one of the stores, it started pouring rain and I decided that I just didn't want to fight the crowds and the weather. So I went off to the library -- and ran into Scott, Maggie, and Alex. It was quite amusing.
We've been pretty lucky here today. The weather has stayed in the mid- to high-40s all day so no snow. There was some heavy ran in the afternoon, but that tapered off and it's just wet and cold now. It's a good night to be inside where it's warm -- so I'm having some wine, watching movies, and knitting a scarf. Very toasty. Definitely going to sleep in tomorrow morning!
