another week comes to a close

whew. glad that week is over. I worked night shift all week. its very weird when you work night shift. Days run into each other. you feel like a vampire. i haven't seen Joe since Monday. But its over, and its the weekend, and well, all is good!
The other day in the break room i was playing some cards. and this one guy who is looking at houses to move into says to another. "man, i just GOTTA get rid of this aquarium i have. I got it for my daughter, but she moved out and its just too much work to move it.." well, i heard this and said "I WILL TAKE IT!!" and so we made the plans for me to take ownership of his tank. so now, we have a really cool 55 gallon tank! we set it up yesterday. it was a rough day. came off night shift. went and picked up the tank. brought it home and tried to set it all up before any of the fish died. (i had 10 fish in a 5 gallon tank to transport. we were lucky though. they all made it.



happy weekend!

So far-- this week

its been a crazy week here. Saturday we had a party for my cousin Kyia. she graduates this year (actually last night was the big day) so we got to see and visit with family i haven't seen for a long time. Got to see my aunts new place. pretty snazzy. oh yeah, and on our way out there, joe and i hit up a few garage sales. (they live in the "nice" part of town, so the garage sales were guaranteed to have good stuff!) we ended up getting a few good things for a few little coin.

Sunday, joe woke up not feeling well. but we had a poker party planned for some friends, and we usually flake, so we couldnt cancel. as the day wore on, he felt better, and we had a great bbq/poker party. (i won one game!) it was good times with friends from work who had never been to my place.. the first thing everyone did was ask if i stole the "starbucks" sign that uncle martin had made for me. i had to tell, and re-tell the story over and over.

Monday rolled around. Joe felt even worse, but being the good guy he is, he went ahead and went to work.. i pittered around the house. read the book Odd Hours by Dean Koontz. i started feeling sick ..

today is now Thursday. i have finished the book and started a new one, but full-on sickness! i couldnt even go to the graduation last night because i had a very high fever. and all i have to ask is WHY? it should be against the rules of nature to be sick IN THE SUMMER! its the worst..

good news is, i got my mojo back. this is good, since i have about 40 fathers day cards to get done. so i have been napping, then working on cards. then napping. man. i hope we get better. its terrible to be sick in summer!
