Life has continued to be crazy busy, but I like this craziness much better than being at the ballpark every night. Last night, after work, I went to the pharmacy, then the store, made dinner, worked on the book for an hour and a half, then took Cal to the park (he does obstacle courses on the playground) while I walked Jesse, and then I worked on the book another hour. What a difference my life makes when we aren’t in season. I’ve got to hand the book back over to my editor on the 10th, so I’m going to have pretty full evenings until then. That’s what I get for over indulging this weekend…but it was worth it! Friday night, I went out for “a drink” with a co-worker, and ended up hanging out with her friend well after she left. We had a great time, and I still managed to get home fairly early-early enough to walk Jesse and take Cal to the park anyway-oh, and drop Ryne off for a sleepover. That kid is never home. Saturday my cousin Jouni came to town to celebrate her birthday. We had a really nice day and then went on a riverboat for dinner and karaoke. What a blast! Sunday we went into Chicago to the White Sox game. I love an excuse to hate on the Yankees. It was a long day, but there was still time for the book after we got home. I think I need to take this week off to recover from my weekend. If only…right? I’m sure everyone feels that way every week.
Well, lunch is winding down, so I should get back to the thing that pays the bills. Here’s hoping you’re finding yourself happy with your journey and purpose in this life. Life is about enjoying now..not waiting for tomorrow…waiting for someone to love us more…waiting for that dream job…and all of that kind of crap. We have right now. Let’s make the most of it. Here’s to 2 pounds ;0
Oh, and I’ll leave you with the video for Run. (I’ll have to watch it, too). I’ve heard the song a million times, and I like the little story in my head. This song has been out for several years, but for some reason I’ve heard it both mornings this week, on the radio, while driving into work. How can you go wrong with a song with these lyrics:
I'm amazing
When you're beside me
I am so much more
And I feel your fingers
Pound like thunder
And I am so much more
You’re welcome J
