| My wife humoring me with a photo before my PET Scan (she is amazing!). |
This long weekend started on Thursday with a Soccer Meeting that went until 8pm followed by a drive to Maryland (arrived 11:45pm). The next morning a JHU visit that started at 9:00am and went past noon, followed by a 5 hour drive back to Floral Park. Unfortunately, I missed a Presbytery Meeting (that I really wanted to attend because I was to tired). Friday we had some shopping/cleaning/prep to do for the block party. Block Party Saturday. Preaching Sunday followed by a nap (3 hours) and some lesson planning.
The funny thing is that this is the lightened version of our life with my wife picking up a bunch of other stuff.
Yesterday was our block party which ended up being lots of fun for everyone (about 60 people attended over the course of the day). The kids played so hard that they fell asleep the first place they sat down. I turned the block party into a surprise party for my wife's 40th by adding balloons and cake when she stepped out briefly to run an errand. All day people told me to take it easy, to sit down, to rest...not realistic!
The fact is I needed to do something to recognize my wife's 40th or I would be a douche bag. This option in the long run I believe was actually the easiest to accomplish. I am hurting today (for the first time my arm bones are sore) and I am tired but it is what it is.
The truth is I needed (wanted) to get done everything that I had scheduled this weekend. I did most of it, but I refuse to give up any more of my life to being sick! I would rather go down fighting then slowly waste away.
P.S. Still waiting on the PET Scan results...nervous.
(Background: I saw a TV episode of Extreme Homes, on HGTV, today). I saw that wild, slick red furniture and 1st thought you lived in a modernistic home with a couch that wasn't entirely cushy and relaxing. Then I knew it must be Disneyland... until my eyes caught up and I read your comment. Red's my fav color, and threw me a bit wild for a sec.
