All I Want Is...

a couple days off. Just like Huey Lewis and the News sang back in 1991 or so.

...taking a little breather from work action to end the week. I covered a vacationing co-worker's Sunday - Thursday shift this week and I had a scheduled vacation day today so that plus tomorrow off equals a four-day weekend. (yeah, that means I only worked Sunday-Wednesday.)

I managed to pull a muscle behind my right leg while I was asleep Monday night. It really, really ached all day Tuesday, less on Wednesday, and is almost back to normal tonight. Must have fallen asleep with my leg crooked or something. Could barely walk and had to do stairs really, really slowly. It really gave me a fresh awareness of how intricately and perfectly God designed our bodies. Every little muscle has its job to do to keep the hitch out of our get-along and when one's hurting, it kinda throws everything else off-kilter!

I drove up to our local Cabela's mega-jumbo-outdoor-sports superstore today. Yeah, I know it's been open for a few years but I've never bothered to check it out. I was impressed by their aquarium and wild-game displays. Did manage to find a Chili-cover for the back seat of my car. I've had the worst time finding something to fit over it and the cheap bedsheets I was using were beginning to wear out. The one I bought today fits perfectly. It does have the word "CABELA'S prominently stitched across the top, but that's no big deal. : )

Speaking of my big dog, we visited the HSMO vet clinic for her annual exam and shots today. Overall, she's healthy, but a bit heavy at 72 lbs. She needs to lose a few pounds to get down into the high 60s. That's my fault for getting a little careless with her feeding. The vet schooled me on how to do a better job. Chili was a very happy dog during her visit and the staff was impressed!

Spent this evening at Q worship rehearsal at church prepping graphics for Sunday. My pal Ben (aka 636benjamin) was running sound so we had good conversation while the band played.

I am reading a personal finance book called All Your Worth . The author of the book was recently featured in an MSN article so I decided to buy her book. It's all about keeping your money in balance to keep your finances on track. I like what I've read so far.
