Money!

So, I found out today that I get a three dollar an hour raise for working at the other facilities helping out until they can find a replacement for the PT they recently lost. I also got brave and told our new director of operations that I did not get the 3% raise in May that I was promised and she is going to get that for me too. I am way excited! Of course the three dollars will go away once I am no longer needed at the other facility but I am proud of myself for letting Betty (the director of ops) know about the yearly raise and not whimping out this time. It has been two years since I had a raise and the company doesn't think this is a problem but my rent goes up 3% a year so I think I should be getting my raises.

We are going to phoenix, Arizona (and the surrounding area) this weekend to visit Alden's brothers David and Jack. We will leave on Friday afternoon and come home Sunday night. It will be kind of a quick trip but we haven't seen them for a few months and it will be fun to get away from LA for a few days. My guess is that we won't really do anything exciting. Alden will probably help his brothers build a swing-set for David's four boys and I will help entertain the kids. Also, Jack recently bought a house and we haven't seen it yet. He also got a hot tub and Alden can't wait to sit in it and relax his back.

It should be fun. Until next time...
