Four day lounge
2005-11-28 - 9:05 a.m.As soon as the big turkey day was over, this was a long weekend of relaxation that bordered on coma. The highlights were playing Race Day with Fred and Heather, eating wings from Wing’s Stop, too many martini’s, a trip to Red Robin when Kim and I both had a serious hamburger craving, and lots and lots of Harry Potter.
Kim finally got me to break my vow not to read the stuff (I think I am the last of my contemporaries to cave in) by reading the first book to me as we snuggled down for sleep. Last night I asked if we could rent the first two movies (which were excellent bits of fluff that reminded me of the “Three Detectives” and “Hardy Boys Mysteries” I read a lot as a kid.). It is, of course great, mindless stuff and I’m happy that I did in fact sell out and watch it. I’m looking forward to more stories tonight assuming that Kim isn’t too worn out from dealing with my parents (She is helping my mom put up her Christmas Tree).
I have been having some allergy/stomach issues that border on the insane this weekend (it’s best not to talk about them) so literally nothing got done. No yard work, no house work, nothing. I don’t see that changing since I feel like a piece of limp toast this morning. One thing is for sure though, I am off spicy food and booze for a while. I need to let my system just chill out and heal.
Now I am back at work and the holiday crush is looming over me. I know that I have four major projects to get done here before the Christmas break. It’s going to take a lot of my energy to do just that. Plus I have to do some shopping of course.
Advent has started and while I wasn’t up for going to church, I want to try and find someway to do something each day to help keep me grounded.
I should be at Unevent lurking around goofing off and missing meetings that I’m ‘suppose’ to be at this weekend, stop by and say hello if you want.
My parting shot comes from Dumbledorf today, as it really spoke to me:
“It is not our abilities that define us, but our choices.”
I’m choosing to go back to work, later.
P.S. Anyone in the Richmond area want to go see Rent with me? It is totally not Kim's cup of tea, (and) it was one of Andie's favorites. Might be too much for me too come to think about it, but I don't want to close any doors at this point. I seem to be dealing with the depression about Andie's loss on a day by day basis, some days are better, some not. I really want it to get better though, because I am certain that she wouldn't want me to be greiving and lost like this. Gotta find a way...
P.P.S. Oh yeah and, whomever sent me a Myspace invite, send it again, the group invite didn't work, thanks!
