Quote of the day:
"We can take a wonderful vacation in spirit, even though we are obliged to stay at home, if we will only drop our burdens from our minds for a while."~ Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder
This is only the third year that Juneteenth has been a federal holiday and not every company has decided to add it to the number of paid holidays. Fortunately for me, the Federal Reserve does observe all federal holidays and therefore is closed, which means most financial services close as well.
After the excitement of taking Triscuit to the vet on Friday, it has been a quiet, long weekend for me. We had planned a Father's Day brunch gathering that got called off due to illness at the last minute [literally, my daughter called me as I was getting ready to walk out the door] - not mine, for a change, and nothing serious - but it has been full, thanks to living my 2nd life online, complete with company
I peeked at the news this morning, and I think I'm going to keep right on wandering in Second Live and Sovaria, or killing demons in Diablo IV.
