yayy, a day off

I worked on one of my days off earlier this week, so I'm ready for today's scheduled day off. I think I'm gonna get tomorrow off too. I already have 44 hours for the week so I don't care either way. Overtime would be nice, or having a 2nd day to rest, especially because I have something to go to tomorrow night.

Well, I'm 50 percent of the way to my target weight (who new I was dieting??) Since I deal with high cholesterol (mostly hereditary), I like to watch what I eat. I've been holding back on pop and late night trips for fast food. Part by choice and partly because I fall asleep early now. But I've lost 17 pounds in 2+ months and have about as much I'd still like to lose. I got a haircut and chopped a lot of it off last week, that might have helped. :)

I've been back to playing basketball again. I'm used to working hard all day, and am forcing myself to play basketball even on days I work. I definitely try to rest on my days off. Sometimes I need the two days off to recover.

I think I'm gonna get to go back home next weekend. I wish I could get a Saturday off but its hard to, so I'll have to drive back after working on Saturday. I think because I drive about 150 to 200 miles every day I work, that this drive home won't seem as long. I don't get tired of all the driving either.. we're going to different places each day and the driving gets broken up by the 8 or 9 deliveries.

I hope to canoe soon, with the water levels being so high. Just need a little warmer weather. Though I know the water will still be cold, the sun will make it just fine for me.

Our new pastor finally comes this month, and I officially become a member of the church on the 27th this month.

Go Cubs.
