The Week must come to an end!

Well, our week off from work is coming to an end. I must say that I did enjoy the time off. The week away from work has been really enjoyable. I haven't had a straight off of work in a long time.

I can't really say that we made the absolute most of the entire time off, but we did at least get to do a little bit that really was fun. He is a quick run down of the week off....

Monday - Ruby and I went to have a good lunch and then to the dentist. I haven't been to the dentist in, man...I really can't say when. It wasn't too painful, but let's just say, it is just the beginning for me.

Tuesday - We went to the Children's Museum and played a little.

Wednesday - We went to the Zoo...that was so great! Raymond really loved it!

Thursday - We didn't do too much, but did spent an evening at Discovery Green. I would say that Raymond had a blast there as well. Oh yeah, I finally got a little yard work in as well.

Friday - I did nothing. Literally. Nothing. If you guys know me, I am perfectly fine with that.

I know, it doesn't look like a whole lot, but to me...it was a week that I will never forget. Being with Ruby and Raymond was something else. I wish I could have filmed the entire time. You know, like had a documentary crew travel with us or something. It was great for me. Since that wasn't possible, I just have to go off my memory, which is fine. I can always stop whatever I am doing and just remember some of the time that we spent.

It's almost time to go back to work...and I know I will have a lot to do once I get back, but I still have Saturday and Sunday to enjoy and prepare for that.

Well, it is Halloween night, and the crowd in the neighborhood has been pretty light, but I am going to hang out and enjoy the memories and the almost perfect weather outside for a bit....with my Little Dragon....

It's been a weird last 48 hours

...It's been a while that I have updated this thing. Things really haven't been the same since Hurricane Ike hit, and that trend is continuing.

I wanted to keep like a blog update from the events leading up to and after the Hurricane, but that went nowhere, obviously. Maybe I will still type up my notes that kept from the night of the storm, maybe not...we will see...

One would think that I would be happy starting a week and a day off from work, but I am really not....

Tonight sucked a bit. Stayed at work late (my fault, I volunteered), came home, then was going to see The Butthole Surfers at the Meridian. I left the house late, around 9:40 or so, I went to get gas since I was riding on fumes. Then I had to go pull money from an ATM, which took two attempts at two different banks, and then proceeded toward the Meridian. I get there, only to find a packed place. I had to park about two or three blocks away. Never seen the Meridian like that before. I walk my way to the door when I find that it is sold out. Shit! Oh well....off to the store to get some Shiner Black and drink at home....

Believe it or not, that whole sequence took me about an hour. An hour I will never get back....

I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring, being my first day off. I might get all of the house work knocked out. Hit the yard and all that good stuff, but we will see. Being off from work, I should have plenty of time to do updates, at least I hope so!

Ok, that's all for now...
