There's always tomorrow... / myLot

I got all the way to the library today, and a guy was going to the door. He turned away and looked at me and said, "Oh, I forgot it was Cesar Chavez day." So they were closed. I don't know if this is a holiday only California celebrates (I'm guessing it is) but that put a crimp in my plans. I turned in the book that I brought in their outside book drop, and went back to the bus stop. I wound up having two things to do today, and now I'll have two things to do tomorrow--get the books I have on hold and go and get the TB test done. Right now it's 1:27 by my computer clock and I need to eat lunch, which I haven't had yet. Hope that all is well with you in your part of myLot land!

I did not that in your area it is Cesar Chavez Day, I guess different cities celebrate different holidays like in the greater New Orleans Area, Mundi and Mardi Gras are holidays where the stores are closed due to parades.

I have heard of Mardi Gras--what is Mundi?

@xstitcher Mundi is the French word for Monday.

You can thank Obama for that. I looked it up, and it looks like six or seven states celebrate it. Oklahoma is not one of them. I have to say, it seems really odd to close public spaces for Cesar Chavez day. Oh, well. Maybe I need to open my mind a little.

I agree with you, and I'm not opening my mind.
