Saturdays OFF that is!!! :P I slept again until 8 this morning... and it was nice. I enjoy my sleep in days... especially the Saturdays. It's a great way to recharge the batteries so to speak. I never really feel completely recharged, though. It's more like having a low cell phone battery that you plug in to charge just long enough so you can talk on it for a little while once again. I think that's a pretty good analogy actually. Each week it runs a little bit lower on power than the week before, and each week I get further from getting caught up on my sleep debt. The good thing is won't last forever, and so far I'm doing rather well overall although often tired.
It's Skype time right now... so I'm off to talk to my wifey baby at the Cyber Cafe for a little while... then I will be back to finish writing. :)
Ok... I'm back... after a very nice enjoyable HOT shower! :) That always feels good. Now I'm ready for bed... well... in bed writing my blog tonight that is. It was an absolutely gorgeous day today! It started with a nice sleep and weighing in at the gym (just for myself). I lost one pound this week. I'm happy with that every time. :) I did not, however, make it to work out today, so I'm 0 for 3 on working out on my days off now. It's ok, though. Tomorrow is a new day. After the weigh in I went to breakfast for my usual Saturday morning omelet and fixins. It was enjoyable as I ate and watched Boise State destroy the Fresno State Bulldogs 51-0! GO BRONCOS!!!! After that I walked back to my room, got my laundry, and got it started. I grabbed a second coffee and came back to the room and chatted on a Skype call with my sister pretty much until my laundry was completely done (within a few minutes anyway). I then loaded my pictures from my camera onto my computer and uploaded some to my Facebook account. By then it was almost time to head out for the day... my how time flies!
I went and cashed my birthday checks at Finance and then went to the movie theater to watch "Wall Street". I enjoyed it very much! I think I've found something new to do periodically here. Why I hadn't done so sooner is beyond me! I love movies, and they get some really new ones over here. I can't complain at all. Best of all... it's FREE!!! After the movie I walked over to the USO and on to the BX and picked up a couple items and then headed back. Then it was about an hour till Skype time. Skype time was enjoyable as always. It is so nice to have such technology to help stay connected with back home. :) After the Skype was my shave and shower and then back to my blog... all in all a pretty good day off I must say.
I think it's just about bedtime now. I'm going to do a little reading. I just picked up the book "The Midnight Train" by Tom Piccirilli from the laundry room this morning, and so far I like it... A LOT! We'll see how it progresses... it's very interesting so far, and I'm a suspense reader by nature. Tomorrow starts a new week and will mark the end of 11 weeks here already. Closing in fast on 3 months! WOW! I still call it Groundhog Day because every day here seems the same, but somehow I managed to make today a bit different, and for that I'm giving myself a nice pat on the back. 2 movies in 3 days... I sense there may be more of them in my future. :) Goodnight all.
Peace, Love, and Poker
