Long Day

Yesterday was by far the longest day at work for Josie. She went to work at 8 AM and worked until we both got off at about 6:45 PM. Bob started at 12 noon, the normal start time for us on Sundays. He got a chance to watch the last round of the British Open and witness the meltdown of Tom Watson. What a shame. Here is a 59 year old golf legend, leading the tournament with one hole to play, and he only needs a par on the last whole to make golfing history. He bogey's the last hole, gets into a playoff with Stewart Cink, and gets crushed in the 4 hole playoff.

There are 18 cabins in the resort and Josie and Jamie cleaned all of them. It looks like that may become a standard part of Josie's schedule since our housekeeping crew has left us. It does give her an opportunity to get a break from the front desk and also lets her get close to a 40 hr week. We have both been trying to get as many hours as possible so we can maximize our earnings while here. So far, we have been averaging about 32-33 hrs per week. We need to get more than that to accomplish our financial goals. The biggest problem for us has, and will be for a couple years, covering Josie's health insurance premiums until she can get on to Medicare.

Today is a fairly easy day for us and we start at 8 and work till 2. That is, unless Josie has to clean vacated cabins, which may happen, and she will have to work longer. The weather has been outstanding. We have had very little rain from the monsoon so far and the temps have hung around in the high 80's for several days now. It looks like we may get some rain today, however, as the sky is very cloudy whereas mornings are usually bright, sunny and cloudless.

Later...
