Fadedwords

It was a long week, but this weekend was a welcome and relaxing time.  Things that were really wonderful include:

• My boss got a DJ for our Saturday work day.  There was karaoke, dancing, games, and a great deal of laughing.  Thankfully I was able to just take photos of the shennanigans; I got some great ones.
• I went with Bethany after work to get haircuts.  I had a very interesting stylist that moved to the US from Lebanon.  He was a cool guy and he did a great job with my hair.  It’s nothing too drastic… just a trim with some long layers.
• Bethany and I also went out to dinner after the haircuts at Twisted Fork.  We got tons of food, a celebration of my recent recovery from gallbladder surgery.  I brought lots home and truly enjoyed eating what I did while I was out.
• I found pancake stickers!  This is awesome because I have pictures from National Pancake Day to scrapbook.
• I got a new DVD player today.  The one in the bedroom was dying a painful death, and was over five years old.
• I also got Twi*light on DVD *swoon*
• I upgraded my cell phone today!  I have a new red Shine.  It came with a great bundle deal that included a bluetooth headset and a car charger.  I love it already.

The only negative thing is that I’m still tired and haven’t had much of a weekend thanks to working and staying busy today.  This next week will be a long one.  To top it all off I have a bone bruise or something on the bottom of my left foot.  Seriously, if it’s not one thing it’s another.  I have lots to get done this week, and I am determined that there will be no more absences for me for the rest of the year.  I’ve had just about enough of that.  We’re moving in to the busiest time of my year with testing, so I have to be on my A game.

Friday is pay day, and I’m somewhat dreading seeing how little I’ll be receiving.  I haven’t begun to get bills from the hospital yet, but I know those are coming.  I’m determined not to stress out about it.  I need to avoid stressing if I want to stay healthy.
