What a day! Is it really a Sunday?

dreamflowerI am not used to working on Sunday. The whole routine at the store, and the rhythm of the customers is totally different. Plus I started my morning off by getting locked in the broom closet.
Yep. See, I was told to clean the women's restroom, which I actually like doing, because it's something different than stocking shelves or waiting on customers. So I went into the broom closet that is located between the women's and men's restroom in order to get my cleaning supplies. Got them together. Turned around and pushed on the door to go out-- nothing happened. I suddenly realized someone must have turned the latch on the outside (there is no inside latch), so I start banging on the door and hollering. In just a few minutes, someone heard and let me out.
The girl who'd locked me in was all apologetic-- she didn't know I was in there, and she'd wanted to hang her apron on the latch, so she turned it. (It's not a very good hanger in the "open" position.) This is a habit a lot of the employees have, because we are not allowed to wear our aprons into the restrooms for sanitary reasons. BUT, there is a HOOK *IN* the broom closet for that purpose. If she'd opened the door to used that hook, she'd have known I was in there. *sigh*
Anyhow, I'm glad to be home. I do work tomorrow, but it's a short shift, thank goodness!
The DH and I are going to postpone Valentine's Day until next week, when hopefully both of us will be off at the same time, and also we have a payday on Fri. that should include a ton of overtime. Still, I had fun making a Valentine's Day wreath for our front door. Pic behind cut...
So, what's everyone else up to?

Valentine's Day wreath A little late getting it up, but I think it came out well. |

Knitted dishcloths I thought I'd take a pic of these before I actually put them to use and they are no longer quite so vivid and pristine. Nine dishcloths, knitted to fit the blue/yellow/white color scheme of my kitchen. Still haven't finished my potholder yet, though. |
