Thursday - 10-29-09, feeling a little rested.

I seemed to get a good night's sleep last night, and am feeling a little rested this morning. Although I am also feeling a little guilty too this morning.
Since we put Daisy back out she's really been hanging around outside, and really kissing up to us. She keeps coming right up to us, and rubbing our legs, and meowing with this sad look. IF we knew she would start using the litter box we would let her back in.
Then you have Rebel. Since we put her out the other night for crying all night we haven't seen her. Someone is eating the food we have out, so we assume that Daisy and Rebel are coming up when we aren't around, but Rebel isn't meeting us at the door in the morning like she usually does.
I got into work, and got the stand set up in no time. I then got a sale before I was officially open. Barb sent one of the security guards down to buy her a large icee. So that could cause me to have to stay open all day, but I would have to wait and see.
I got my second sale, and first real customer, around 11:45. At this point the zoo was kind of busy. Since no one else was coming up to buy though, I decided to take my lunch. While I was eating Sophia came in. She said they were just here to take some pictures, and she thought she would check on me while she was here. It was her Kevin O’Brian, and two other people I didn't' recognize. I'm not sure where they went off too.
I don't know if I put this in yesterday, and I'm too lazy right now to go back and look, but anyway, I got an update on Sally. She is still out of the exhibit, and in the med building recovering from her illness. They aren’t' sure what she has, and did send blood work out to get checked.
I also found out today that they are working on redoing the bear exhibit again. They are repainting some parts of it, and they have an idea to totally redo the pond in it. I'm not sure what it will look like when it’s done.
At about 12:30 Barb called down. She wanted to know how much the pizzas were. So I knew that was a hint that she wanted to buy one for her lunch. She said she would send Pat down to get it. He showed up about 10 minutes later for the two pizzas and fries. So that put me up to three sales, so that meant that I would almost definitely not close early.
I'm half way through the book again studying for my general class amateur radio test. This time through I'm averaging about a 90% over all. I'm hoping I can keep the percentage up around that same area. If I can I'll probably look into scheduling the test for next month. I know there is a location giving it on the third Saturday in November. So maybe I'll shoot for that day.
Around 1:30 I got a family that came up. Their order was the largest order for the day. It also was enough that I knew there would be no way I would close early. That was ok though, the day seemed to be going really quickly.
Since I didn't go up home last Sunday, we decided we would go up tonight to drop off the candy for the kids for trick-or-treating. I didn't know if Cathy intended to stay until the kids got there or not, but she thought that's what I wanted to do, so we did. It was really kind of a nightmare. They were all hyper from the candy, and until we left I had a killer headache. I couldn't wait to just get home, and go to bed...
