Spending a Quiet Day at Home

It was just a nice, quiet day at home yesterday. We had some rain in the afternoon and the only thing we went outside for was to go to the store to get a few groceries. We spent the day (afternoon) catching up on our favorite shows that were taped while we were working - So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent, Hell's Kitchen and a few shows on Animal Planet and National Geographic Channel that we like. It's much easier and more fun to watch these shows without the ads, which we can fast-forward through with the remote. A one hour show can be seen in less than 45 minutes with the ads eliminated, and a half hour show can be seen in about 20 minutes.

We received an email from Amazon HR yesterday announcing that the peak season is now scheduled to begin on August 15. Originally, it was scheduled for September 11, so they will implement the workamper policies, including free site rental, on the new date. That's like getting a raise. We have been responsible for our own site rental during this summer pilot program - $350 per month - so it was welcomed news. We are also waiting to hear if our changeover to days will also occur at that time. We hope so. Gosh, that's just over 1 week away.

Today we plan to drive to Elizabethtown and go to Sam's Club. We still haven't identified another place to visit while out today, but we still have some time to do more research on that area before we leave. The weather looks gloomy so far today, so maybe it will be a shorter trip than we think. It is only about 40 miles, so it shouldn't take more than 45 minutes to get there. So much for now...
