Labor Day - is it really a holiday?

Today is Labor Day and I don't feel like doing anything. Lots to do, of course.

Big weekend at TheaterSports - annual Labor Day weekend improv tourny. Folks from Seattle, LA, San Francisco and San Jose came down to compete and make us laugh. Was great. I did my part in the snack bar (behind the counter, not buying snacks).

On Saturday attended the Santa Barbara gem show with SIL and her MIL. Bought jewelry I didn't need but liked. Ooh, sparklies! Needed to spend time with them after a hectic week. SIL's mom in hospital with emergency back surgery, new granddaughter having some distress and general work stress. (theirs, not mine). So I HAD to go to be supportive. and see sparklies.

Gearing up for mid-terms in my class this week (giving one, not taking one). Trying to do a little cross-stitching as physical therapy to get back into the groove. Lots of projects to finish that have been on hold. Scrapbooking to do.

With other ladies, held a final sale for our Weekenders clothes. Lousy that the company went out of business - good to eliminate one thing from my life. Made some sales, got a mild sunburn and had fun with friends.

Today - heavy schedule of laundry, cleaning and watching the Monk marathon on TV. Time out for grandson Tiger's 9th birthday lunch at Panda Buffet (his fave) then back to the grueling schedule. Also celebrating DIL Rachel's birthday (not 9th) from a distance. Will get to see her soon. I'm sure she's having a grand day with her husband and pets.

Pondering why I'm such a packrat and how I can start being less so. All this stuff is important!

So much to ponder - I'm worn out. Time for lunch.
