I had three days left on the Purple Parrot pool schedule today, to close out the season. Nobody was left on the roster except me, the man who has no idea where his life is going to lead in the next few moments.

So I gave the today and Sunday shifts to my good buddy Shelby.

I spent the morning wrapping up my latest Store Front code project with Gemini AI. We had quite a session and I managed to get the app down to two main functions.

• The Store Front app where the user picks things out from products within categories, then puts them in their Cart and buys them.

• The Admin app where the store owner maintains their products and categories.

It's in great shape.

I thought about leaving today but that would have messed with my integrity. For one thing, I have one day left on my job. Tomorrow Saturday is the last day of the season and the busiest probably.

I also care about my real friends, the dogs. With Shelby working noon to seven, and Dan at work the same time, they can really use me. Three are kept in the small wire kennel during owner away time because they're rowdy and tear up things in the house.

If I'm here I can let them out into the yard, go potty, run. They get treats from me that make their day. They love me and it's mutual.

So today was like that. I work tomorrow and I'll do the same thing for the dogs on Sunday.

Then I leave...
