Quiet day alone at home so far...Steven is at a friend's house...Bill had wrestling practice, and Dan went with him...let me sleep, which I am grateful for.
One more midnight shift to work and I will be free for three days. :)
It's amazing how working midnights can reduce you to such biological concerns such as sleep and food. Sometimes our civilized veneer wears thin...
I am cooking up a huge batch of Macaroni and Cheese in the oven. Should make everyone very happy. :)


I finished the book I was reading, HMS Surprise, when I woke up. I am really enjoying this series of books by Patrick O'Brian. :)

I have to find a bit of time with Dan sometime in the next day or so, as I have to get my vacation and holiday requests in at work soon...its always easier said than done, trying to track him down... :(
Though he is trying a lot harder this year, after the really bad problems we had last year...we both just work too much and don't see each other enough...
We did meet for a late lunch yesterday, on his way home from work and on my way into work. We ate at the Chinese restaurant where we had our first date all those years ago (1983). It was nice seeing him. He said it was the first time he had seen me happy since I and my father got sick and Bill got his concussion...guess the last few weeks have been rather stressful at that...
This weekend is the big wrestling tournament in Monroe...Bill had worked so hard to try to medal...
...but the week of influenza and the concussion lost him two weeks of training. This particular tournament is sort of like the Monroe county championships...since it is sponsored by the Sherriff, the medls are very cool Sherriff's stars...
There will be two more years for Bill to wrestle there. :)
