9 days and counting

I have been waiting for my last check from the casino for 4 days. I called my boss yesterday when I did not receive it in the mail as I had asked. My last day at work was a week before the checks were to be paid. It has been four days after payday, which is 6 daays after the end of the pay period.
I went to the casino today for dinner and to see about my last check. For some reason they were holding it for me to collect. My boss must have made an error in how I was to get it. This did not really suprise me as he makes a lot of errors. Only with this one I could have gotten my last check a week ago. Oh well, I will deposit it in my bank, the stress is gone, both for my job and my last check.
Looking forward, 9 days and we will be jetting off to Mexico. Warm weather, warm water (seas) and lazy days.
When we left the casino tonight, after our dinner, I wanted to yell, my wonderfull feelling of freedom.
The things that I no longer have to do, I can wear jeans in the casino, coulden't while I worked there. I don't have to smile at everone, no matter what. Cought myself today as going in, smiling at people, saying welcome.
So now the only stress I have is about our trip, oh and the beef we are selling. The butcher is comming tomorrow, I am worried that he won't have the beef ready for us untel we are gone. Ok so the people that bought beef from us know that they will have to pick it up. but that also means that my friend will have to pick up ours and put bring it here. She will I just don't like to have to have her do it. The butcher just couldn't do it sooner.
Then there is the worry I have about this trip. I have not been away from home this long before. I know we are going to have a wonderful time. I will try to add to this blog when I can on this trip. I will add all costs. We do travel as cheep as we can.
8 days and counting.
