Good Friday Morning Cali

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! It is a Happy Friday for me for two reasons: 

1. It's my day off.
2. I get to go to work today for overtime!

One of the great things about my job is that there aren't too many people willing to work overtime, so as long as the work is available I never get turned down! Yeah, I've been working a lot - but the paycheck next Friday will make up for the exhaustion! And I can sleep when the OT goes away. With my job, you never know when it'll be available and when it won't - it can come and go in the blink of an eye.

I have a confession to make: I have not been walking. I think today is the fourth or fifth day in a row that I have skipped. It's mostly because I've been going in to work early every morning on my regular workdays - so I just get up in time to get ready.

I know this is bad and I should be flogged - just like I should be flogged for not drinking enough water. I KNOW, I KNOW! Please don't yell at me! I ***do not*** want to sabotage my surgery and I certainly do not want to end up in the hospital with dehydration. I just don't drink because I don't think about it - that is a lousy excuse, but it's the God's honest truth! 

I am going to start working on this. Seriously and for real. Overtime is good, but it's not as important as getting my exercise. And the water is absolutely essential and is something I need to focus on. END OF STORY AND NO MORE EXCUSES! I am going to change my ways. I was so ready for this surgery for so many years ... I finally had the opportunity to do it and I'm not going to screw it up now!

JANINE - How bad are your gas prices out there? I know a lot of people are restricting their driving ... I haven't been restricting mine too much, but I am trying to be a little more conservative. Let's just hope the prices keep trickling down slowly but surely, if they're not gonna drop drastically!

USERLISA - I am so, so excited for you! You will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers throughout the weekend and come Monday. I know you'll do great!

Well, Cali Crew, I am off to get ready to go have coffee with a friend whom I have not seen in almost six years. Hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL Friday and a WONDERFUL weekend!

LMAO at the Flapping Skin Band!  It could take a lot of practicing to get the rythym right!

It's been a busy few days and it's getting busier. 
I went the the podiatrist in Petaluma yesterday and had my corns removed and returned my duplicate pair of walking shoes since they caused the corns.  I ordered a new pair of Drew Parade II this morning since I can walk in those with no problems.  They have a wider and taller shoe.

Last night we got called out by the Coast Guard (we're Coast Guard Auxiliary) to assist in a rescue of 2 kayakers.  The got stuck on a reef and couldn't get off.  A helicoper was dispatched from CHP and both kayakers were lifed to safety.  I busy evening for us!

This morning I treated myself to a facial.  That was sooooooo nice!  That's going to me part of my reward system along the losing way. :-)

We moved up our schedule again so now we're leaving in the morning.  There isn't enough time to do all the things I want to do while we're away otherwise.  I have to work in those pesky naps now. lol

Everyone have a great weekend!
