Halcyon Repose

After a weekend full running around I finally got some downtime today. Things started off Friday night with a call from work about 11 at night, and I wasn’t able to get away till 6:30 Saturday morning. I overslept the next morning since I was planning on getting a hold of one of the other fencing instructors to make sure he could handle the class, but I slept through the alarm, and didn’t wake up till 9:45. I frantically made the phone call, found out that he was already there and the world wasn’t going to crash down around me. Just as I was about to head back to bed for some much needed sleep, I realized that the Sabre coach was out, and I had to take his class, so I got dressed and ran to the fencing center.

I made it to the center and started the sabre class off, and about 11:30 I got another call from work, and stayed online till about 3. Once I finished up with that, I ran from the center over to Kenny and Chris’s for some Tamale goodness (just as good as the first time), but I had to bail out at around 7 I was so tired. I got home around 8, and just as I was about to drift off to an early sleep (since I knew work was going to call around midnight), I got an early call and had to get back up. I worked till probably 1am, and then fell into a, thankfully, uninterrupted sleep. I slept till 11 the next morning, played some Age of Conan for a few hours, went for a 2 mile run, and then headed up to Upland for Louis’s Memorial day party. He made some wonderful burritos, and just as we were going to get a poker game started, I got a call from work yet again, and it was then that I found out that Louis did not have internet. I tried logging onto his neighbor’s but it was locked down, so I was forced to drive all the way back home and miss the rest of the party.

I worked till about 1 am again, but this time we finally managed to get everything worked out so I was looking forward to another full night of rest, and thankfully I got it. I got up at noon, played Conan for an hour or so, then went to get some lunch. When I was done I started on washing and waxing the car, sprayed down the side patio, then I carried my cleaning spirit into the bathroom where I did the counters, mirrors, toilet, tub, and floor. I also swept and mopped the kitchen, and then waxed the kitchen floors as well as the bathroom, and then I went for a 2 mile run.

I sit here now totally exhausted, but satisfied. While I didn’t get extensive leveling done in Conan, I did get a lot of other work done that I have been meaning to do, and that is fine by me. Most of my weekend was spent working, but since I could use the money, that worked out just fine. Sometimes it is good to be hourly.
