FOUR DAY WEEKEND. Heck freakin’ yeah. Today is the first day of it and what a better time to have your body recover from mono-like symptoms than to sit down, update your website, watch movies, spend no money, visit as few people as possible, listen to freak music like Felix da Housecat, and watch NBA Hardwood Classics reruns of the Portland Trail Blazers beating the Philadelphia 76ers in 1977 for Oregon’s only pro sports championship???

I can’t think of a better way.

I’ve been sick in one way or another ever since I returned from Indianapolis on the 16th. I think I know why I got sick….it was partially due to me being rundown from not getting ANY sleep since I joined the Air Force in November 2002, and the other part was I was sick from what I had done that weekend. I don’t know why it’s still lingering….I hope it’s simply that I’m rundown, because Stephanie and I are talking again (read: as friends) and there is no reason to stay sick over something that happened in the past and I can’t change. It’s weird though, I can still lift weights, run, play sports, etc. But when I get done I am exhausted (read: I want to puke and sleep).

Tomorrow is gonna be fun though. I’m gonna drag my happy butt to Lakeside Church for our Ring of Fire Youth Group Barbecue. If you’re from Newport News and you are reading this, make your way to Lakeside Church and Family Life Center at 3 tomorrow afternoon, because you can pay $5 for some good food and support a good cause. Also we will be playing TONS and TONS of FOOTBALL so you have no excuse not to come…I also hear John Stevens, our worship leader, will be playing as well. That for me is a good enough reason to merely even WATCH.

Sunday is church as usual, and Monday is Memorial Day…I don’t know what I’ll do then. I do know I have to go on a video shoot for work for about 3 or 4 hours after church on Sunday, but it’s not that long and I get comp time for it anyway. Big deal….I just wanna get it done.

So….any other good suggestions for passing by a 4-day weekend in a wholesome way, that doesn’t involve travel, and will only allow a person to spend $25 all weekend? (My checking account is in poor shape and I don’t want to draw any from my savings.)

Chow….literally. It’s lunchtime for me.
