Rest and Relaxation

Well, let's see... What do I want to say? This past week has been my vacation which has been wonderful! I've gotten to sleep in almost everyday, go to bed whenever I want, watch a lot of movies (gotta love Netflix and Blockbuster!) and read. Bogie has liked having me home too. If I'm home he's on my lap or at my heels...He'll be sad when I go back to work.

May 11-19 was the Riverfest, Dad and I volunteered. This was our second year volunteering and we enjoy it. I'm a people watcher so I like being able to watch the crowds without necessarily having to be part of them. It works out, plus it lets us spend time together. Speaking of, my Dad was staying with me the last 2 weeks. I love my Dad but by the end of his time with me I was ready for him to go. It reminds me why I'm glad he lives 45 mins away...

In my last blog I mentioned that 6 books I want are coming out on June 5...well I went ahead and arranged to have June 6 off. I know, it's kinda sad but I know myself well enough to know that after work on the 5th I'm going to go get the books. Then, I'll come home and be up reading until 3 or 4 in the morning...And then, if I went to work I would spend the entire day wanting to be at home reading...So, it's much more efficient for me to just take the day off...Cause I gotta say, if I did work the 6th, I probably wouldn't get much done!

I had my first massage on Wednesday. My boss gave me a certificate for a back and shoulder massage for Christmas. I figured since this was my vacation week it would be a good time to use it. Besides, it expires at the end of June...Anyway, I loved it! Afterword my back and shoulders were completely pain free and relaxed for the first time in who knows how long! Now I'll probably end up going back for a full body massage...I sit at a computer most of the day and even after I get home at times...So I think I deserve it...Maybe;)

One of the movies I watched this past week was Dreamgirls. Such a good movie! And I loved the soundtrack so much I went out and bought it!

Question of the day: What's your favorite thing about vacation?

Book I'm reading: Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson (I've read the entire series before - I even own it. But this past week I've actually been reading it again since the next one comes out on...you guessed it, June 5! Weirdly tho, I started with the last one and have been going backwards this past week...)

What I recorded tonight: Nothing! Saturdays don't offer much for me. Besides must of the shows have ended for the season so I have to wait for the next round. Which should be in a couple weeks. I so love that there is a summer season now! New episodes almost year round. No more only being able to watch repeats during the summer. Sure some of my shows goes in to repeats, but others are only fresh during the summer season...

Hmmm, I wonder if I'm a little too obsessed with TV and books...Nah! No such thing!

News and Stuff

So I got the results of my CT Scan...The cyst isn't there on the CT...Which is good but it still leaves me not knowing what is causing my symptoms...Looks like more tests in store for me. And it looks like it's a good thing I didn't tell Dad about the cyst. He would've been worried for nothing.

My cousins are in town from Michigan. Originally they were going to stay for 2 weeks, then it changed to 1 week, now it's down to 3 days. This sucks! I really wanted to be able to spend time with them. But it looks like I'll only have 1 full day. The others I have to work at least part of the day. Oh well, at least I'll get to see them some. It's better than nothing.

So, as of 2p tomorrow I am off work until the 29th. I can't wait! I am so looking forward to vegging out. Watch TV, read, listen to music...and the best of all...SLEEP IN! YAY!!!!!!! I'm going to love it.

I'm also anxiously awaiting June 5. There are like 6 books coming out that I want...It's sad but yes, I do know when books are coming out and I go get them that day...I am that addicted. I would try to find the local Book-a-holics Anonymous but, I don't want to break my addiction...

And really, isn't being addicted to books a lot better than some of the other things I could be addicted to?

OMG! Did you hear?! They cancelled Veronica Mars! I'm so not happy! They cancelled Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars...What am I going to watch on Tuesday nights? Some of the shows for next fall look pretty good...and some look really stupid. Guess we'll see which is which in the fall. I am looking forward to 2 of the new series...Bionic Woman and The Sarah Connor Chronicles, both look interesting. I'm also happy they renewed some of my favorites: Heroes, Bones, Smallville, Supernatural, and Ghost Whisperer. Wow! With Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars gone my only non-scifi type show will be Bones. Unless something else starts up that I like...

Kyle XY starts it's new season June 11. So that's something to look forward to. And Eureka starts back up again in July...

Yes, I do love the internet. I gotta keep up on the TV schedules...;)
