A Saturday off!
I got an email from the second job early in the week, saying that we weren't going to work this weekend. The lady needs time to catch up on her tax stuff. Fine with me! I rarely have a whole entire Saturday off with free time to catch up on extra stuff. Today I am making the most of it!
I stayed up late last night reading and then texting back and forth with an old friend from highschool that I have recently gotten back in touch with. To be honest, I have no recollection of ever talking to him in school, but he started Facebooking me awhile ago and we exchanged phone numbers. I normally don't do that, but I have known of him and his family for about 15 years now, and he was always a very nice kid when I knew him, so I felt ok about it. He still lives up there where we went to highschool. He works at the power plant. Seems like anybody that doesn't get out of there either works at the power plant or the paper mill.
This morning I slept in until about 8:00. Then I got up and went hiking! That felt so good=I haven't been to that particular hill in about a year. I can feel it in my thighs and butt, so I guess that means I did some good!
After the hike, went to my old house and pulled weeds for about an hour. I got the most of them, so felt really good about that. I also got a bunch of thorns in my fingers and sneezed approximately 300 times. Hahaha.
Then I came home. I've done 3 loads of laundry so far, and then logged on to my school class and did the first assignment and one section of the homework. That is pretty good, considering the class doesn't officially start until the 9th. I feel good about that. I had also been living with the fear that I had accidentally signed up for the Speed Course, which takes 4 weeks off the time allowed for completion. I did that last time and barely pulled it off, and this is a much harder class (math-my worst subject), so I definitely didn't want to do it again. Today I was able to confirm that it is the regular term. whew!
Probably I need to go to the grocery store later today. I need to make a list first, I suppose. A dreaded task. Oh, also... I got my hair cut off last night. No more ponytails for me. And I have blonde highlights. I like it..it is easy to maintain and to style. Yay!

It's great to hear that you had a Saturday off when you weren't expecting it. I am sure you took full advantage of that day and had a wonderful weekend. It's cool how easy it is to stay in touch with people these days and to re-connect with old friends from years past, though I can imagine there is a downside to that too for some people. Your friend sounds like he comes out of the Simpsons.... I don't think I've ever actually heard of someone working in a power plant before !
I was hiking the other day in Chihuahua on a tour and unfortunately I didn't use sunscreen lotion. It didn't help the next day I spent the day at the beach and now I'm the reddest I've been in my life.... it will take me a few days to get back to normal. I always enjoy being outside and exploring parks and other places so it must have been great you got to get out and enjoy nature.... though the weed picking doesn't sound so much fun. I'm sure you'll do great in all of your classes, especially having that extra time that you didn't have in the past. Enjoy your last days before starting school again. Take care and bye for now.

You have been busy! Saturday was our 22nd anniversary and I was able to get the day off, so Larry and I went to Englewood Reserve and hiked for 2 miles. I took a ton of pictures.
Is this math test for your job or just something your are taking?
