So, we had requested that Saturday off prior to knowing and we both got the day approved off. To begin with, we were scared that we wouldn't both get the day approved and then we wouldn't have been able to go. But, we lucked out and our managers were nice enough to approve us both the days off even though we worked the same shift meaning they had to find not only one but two people who were willing to work a complete different shift than normal in order to cover for us being gone.
So for Thursday and Friday, we just went about our days like we had been every other day. We woke up at 7am, and scrolled through our phones for like twenty minutes to give ourselves time to be fully awake before starting the day. Then, while I did the dishes from the night before (if there was any because we were having a hard time being able to afford to go shopping so most nights we just ate with our discount because at the time it was WAY cheaper than going shopping to cook and eat at home.), he would let Mason out and feed him.
After both of those things were done, I would gather our clean uniforms and switch the laundry around and then we would both hop in the shower. Sometimes we would shower together, but, most times we would shower separately because I like my shower water HOT and he can't stand that.
And then, we would leave the house by 8:50am, to make the literal not even two minute drive to make it to work by 9am. Each shift we had, we worked until 6pm. So one of us would take our break around 12pm and go home and let the dog out, and then whoever didn't already have their break took theirs sometime around 3pm. That way Mason would be good on potty breaks until we got home.
After our shifts were over, we would order food and sit in the lobby and eat it. Then we would head home and let the dog out one more time, before going to do delivery orders until 9pm for some extra money. Finally, when we would be done with all working for the night, we would go home and take Mason outside to use the bathroom and then take him on a short walk to get him out of the house after being there and home alone all day. He's a good dog, he definitely deserved it.
After all that was done with and taken care of, we would change out of our uniform and then I would do a load of laundry. From there, we would just watch our phones until we both were too tired and finally ready for bed (which usually tended to be around 1am).
Friday night when we were done and calming down for the night the excitement was REAL! His birthday was right around the corner AND our apartment was finally about to feel like home. It was an indescribable feeling!!!
