This past week has been
loooonnnng. We have finished our quarterly requirements last week so
this week was slow. I'm working on projects for year end and that keeps
me fairly busy. But in the back of my head I know that I have 22 working days
left before Christmas vacation to get this stuff done. That really hurts
my motivation and productivity. Why do today that which can be done in
the next 22 days? So I work on these projects and then light bulbs go off
in my head. So I stop what I'm doing and do a little research on these ideas
that pop in my head. For example, what is my plan for Black Friday
shopping? How do I get from my Jamaican hotel to Rick's Cafe? Is there a
Catholic Church near the hotel so we could go to Mass on Sunday? What kind of
restaurants are at Montego Bay airport? The answers to some of the
questions are quite funny. Black Friday is still in
a tentative phase. I need to finalize the plan with
my niece Juliette. So far we are doing Best Buy and Wal-Mart
for cheesecake. As far as the questions about Jamaica, We need to take a route taxi;
there is a Catholic church about 1/2 mile from our hotel that is run by
Franciscan Friars from Cincinnati, and the airport has many restaurants to
choose from including Dairy Queen. Eric is excited to have a Blizzard in
Jamaica on Christmas day. I told him he better not wish for a Blizzard, God
might get confused and give us the blizzard in Minnesota and then we can't get
out of here. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen.
Tuesday was another
volleyball night. Eric had to babysit for my friend, Jenny. Her husband
had to work. Her kids love Eric. He is the one that taught Haley to climb
a tree. So we were both busy that night.
Wednesday morning I woke
up with a sore throat and felt awful but we had a happy hour after work so I
had to go to work! I really wish I would have stayed home, I was
miserable.
Thursday morning my sore
throat developed into an awesome cold. Again, I wish I could have stayed
home but I couldn't because it was band day. I can't call in sick for work and
then show up for band practice...my boss is in the band! I had to go to band
practice because it was the last one before our next concert.
I still didn't feel good
on Friday but I went to work anyways. But I came home and crashed on the
couch. I also got Eric sick. We take the whole sickness and health thing
seriously. We also like to share.
As a result of both us
being knocked out with colds we really didn't have an exciting weekend. It is
unfortunately because it was such a beautiful weekend. It was almost 60 degrees
yesterday and today. Yesterday we went to church. An old lady came in
during the Sign of Peace and left immediately after Communion. LOL!
"Express Mass." Today I went to grocery shopping and had all
the windows down in the car and sunroof open...listen to Christmas music...on
November 18th. That is just odd.
So as you can tell it
was one exciting week. I'm really looking forward to my 2 day work week.
Tomorrow is my "Thursday". We leave for Omaha on Wednesday. Woo
Hoo Turkey!!
