It’s Sunday night – down time of the week when I try to shift gears back into work mode whether I’m ready or not! Actually I have lots to do this week and worked online from home this afternoon to try to get a jump start so I’m looking forward to a productive week on the job.
We’ve had a good weekend – when I left work late on Friday it was cold and rainy and my first choice was to go home and STAY – but we had made plans to meet a group of friends downtown for pizza and I knew Burl really wanted to go so we did. Ended up having excellent pizza and a fun time with a variety of both long-time and new friends from church. The evening ended early so I still had time to come home, play my Sudoku online and read – made me a happy camper.
Saturday we had breakfast with friends and since the weather had cancelled other plans I got to spend plenty of time at the gym which revived me both mentally and physically. A bonus was running into lots of my friends including my former boss and his wife – it was a great mix of socializing and exercising! We went to our motorcycle meeting last evening and then stopped by to see our daughter and family – which means we really stopped by to play with our little granddaughters who were quite entertaining.
Today after church I got to take Mulligan for a long walk – warmer weather and blue skies can sure do a lot to lift one’s mood. Tonight we went to a cookout and housewarming party – more good friends, good food and good wine. Only downside to the weekend was finding out that the hubby of one of my dearest friends will be returning to Iraq in June – she called yesterday in tears so I responded with hug therapy and together we used a few choice words to describe our feelings. She’ll need plenty of support (and alcohol therapy) for the year he’s gone and I’m happy to oblige – she’d do the same for me if necessary.
Time to make the coffee, fix my lunch for tomorrow and switch my brain back to “work gear” – and I was having so much fun!!!
