Furloughs

Today was my first furlough day in many years.  I've done it before, not three days in 6 month, but one day a week for about 6 months.  In the whole scheme of things, it is not so bad.  I still have a great job, so I can't complain.  I don't believe the audacity of some people who are complaining.  It's going to take an effort on the part of many many people to keep our little world from crashing.  I'm willing to do my part. On top of that, I had a good day.  I baked some and crossed a couple of things off my to-do list, so it wasn't a waste.  Besides, it was a rainy day which is my favorite time to be home.  I even watched that ridiculous soap opera.  Is that just a diversion or have I really gotten hooked.  I do complain every day when I watch it about how unrealistic it is and how stupid the story lines are.  Will they ever expose Adam - will Victor get caught - why don't Nick and Sharon get back together for good - does Michael Baldwin have an office - when is Ashley going to clue in that she isn't pregnant???  Yet I watch.....
On a previous note, I found an implement to help me cut straight.  I am hoping to use it soon to try another quilt top.  I made my "quilt sandwich" with the baby quilt.  I put it in the hoop and am ready to try my patience at hand quilting. 
Had a wonderful meal at Chops so I'll go sit in the chair and mush my brain with a little television.
