Me Weekend

I had a "Me" weekend. I didn't even go on patrol. I didn't do much, and it was so great. But it was much needed. I didn't even leave the house on Sunday, not once! On Saturday I slept in, then didn't get off the couch until almost noon. S and I went to the movies (Vantage Point--2 1/2 stars), then we went to the gym which was also great b/c it was Saturday evening and there weren't very many people there. It was so nice to get back to our gym, which is a lovely one, and today I'm sore and loving it. Yesterday I did a bit of tidying up around the house and sent S to get the groceries while I colored my hair (went a half-shade lighter) and later watched the Oscars, as I do every year. So I got the actresses wrong this year, but that French girl was a great upset! I was delighted, as I adore Edith Piaf and it looks like the French girl did an incredible job.

Sometimes you just have to take some time off. And since there's no vacations in our future anytime soon, this was the absolute minimum that I could do for myself, and I did it. My skin is in really bad shape thanks to all the stress of late and I had insomnia on Saturday night, but tomorrow I go to see a dermatologist so hopefully she can help me out.

Tonight I've got the monthly sheriff's meeting, which I almost skipped out on. Hell, I got my perfect attendance pin for last year, what do I need another one for? But what the hell, maybe I'll win one of the door prizes again. Still, until S gets out of school I am not killing myself over my patrol hours and/or meeting attendance. It falls at the bottom of my priorities these days. It's just a shame b/c I do enjoy it, but it's still work. You have to really be on top of your game in order to do the job well and hopefully not get hurt/killed and my game is already maxed to its absolute limit.
