welcome to my mind ...

In 60 days, I'll be in San Antonio, Texas, having the time of my life. It's going to be an intense and incredibly relaxing week all simultaneously. I purchased my plane ticket today and it made me rather giddy for a short period of time. It's something that I've been excited about for a while now, but securing the trip just makes it even more real. I'm fairly certain, despite being happy for me, my coworker was getting tired of hearing me talk about the trip. He's only had to listen to my antics for ever now. But that's what friends are for.

I am finally on the tail end of this ridiculous cold that I swear was trying to kill my faith in my immune system's awesomeness that it once had. It's going to take a while for me to build my trust back up with it. I still have to blow my nose a bunch of times each day and my throat is still a little sore. I woke up from my nap earlier choking on a dry spot so that was fun ... I can't wait for that to be done and over with so that I can be back to normal.

My coworker and I went to the dog park on Friday. It was the pup's first time at the dog park and he did fairly well. We were only there for an hour or so. I was still feeling under the weather so I didn't do a whole lot of running around. My friend did, though. Him and his girlfriend took their dog back to the park again yesterday and ran him for a solid couple hours, which wore him the hell out. With it having been so nice here lately, it's nearly perfect weather for going out to the park. Hopefully the next time I go back with them, I'll have recovered fully and am able to run around with them.

Work yesterday pretty much sucked, but that was mostly because I closed. I'm not used to closing on a Saturday so I felt like I was rushed when I got home, since I had to be up for work this morning. The next two Saturday's, though, I'm off early enough that I can have time to relax a bit before going to bed.

My friend and I went to see The Lego Movie this afternoon. It was pretty damn funny. I wasn't expecting the twist to the story, which I guess is the point, but still. We had some time to kill in between the time we got to the mall and the start of the movie so we wandered around. We bought some more stuff at Victoria's Secret. They were having a deal on undies and perfume so I got some of each. With the instant discounts and the $15 gift card that I had, I got out of there with 7 pairs of undies and a bottle of body mist for less than $20. It was pretty awesome. We walked over to Target so that I could buy a couple more bras. For once, they were stocked on the kind I like so I was able to buy more variety. Who knew that a front hook bra would be so comfortable?

All in all it was a rather pleasant weekend. I don't get any face time with my man tonight, but it's probably for the best. He'd not be happy to find out that after staying on later than we should have last night, again, I slept through my alarm ... again. I really, really need to work on self control, but when I'm talking with him, time just evaporates. The distance really does suck sometimes, but it forces us to connect in other ways and it makes things stay at a steady pace. Which I definitely appreciate right now.

Anywho, I guess that's it for now. The Tylenol is starting to kick in and I should probably take advantage of the fact that I can be in bed before 11.
