Labor Day

Marketing Monday has been pre-empted in favor of this post.  In Deep Wish is free now through Friday, though.  Jus' sayin'.

Labor Day... I don't celebrate it.  Don't get me started.  But it's a day off for a lot of people, and when I was working, it was a day off for me, too, since the businesses were usually closed.  As a writer, I don't have holidays or days off or whatever when I'm working.  Every day can and sometimes is a work day.  (Not right now.  I've been a toad.)

I did get a good deal on some clothes this morning, so thanks for that, Labor Day.  I have two new pairs of pants and a shirt that should be here Friday.  This is for a trip I'm taking down the road apace, but I couldn't turn down 40% off.  I'm a sucker that way.

So, basically, Labor Day is good for shopping.  It's also good because it marks the end of summer, which means, for me, the summer people go home.  Yay.  Of course, it also means that this weekend is seeing my neighborhood full of strangers in strange cars and someone has been shooting off fireworks and firecrackers.  :eyeroll:  Tomorrow... Ahhh.

I can't see much purpose in having this national holiday otherwise.  Another day for government workers to take off, I guess.  Oops, I said 'don't get me started' and yet, there I go.

Anyway, have a great day wherever you are and whatever you celebrate.  And if you're on vacation somewhere, be courteous of your fellow humans, eh?  The world will thank you for it.

  1. I hear you on the day's off but yay for the lake people retreating to the cities and 'burbs where they belond! Yay for sales and new clothes! Trip?

    Not much here. It's just another day. The sun finally came out and we hit 80. Ragweed is awful. I cheated and bought premade brisket for dinner. $30 for 1 cut of meat for the 2 of us vs. $12 for enough to feed us and little left as a treat for the dogs. Hrm... 🤔 Rhat was an easy decision.

    I'll boost you tomorrow if/when yo post to X on the book.

    Enjoy the rest of your day. Will you be down at the end of the drive waving buh-bye later? 🤣
