Ah Luvs Fridays

And tonight's should be enjoyable. My music-loving friend B. called my attention to this group playing tonight and I cannot resist. Plus it's a benefit so my hard-earned $ goes to a good cause which is always the icing on my cake. Wow, Cyril Neville will be there tonight?!?! WAY COOL!!!

Last night was fun, but I didn't know Paul Mooney did mostly social/Hollywood commentary and roasts instead of classic standup. In fact he sat on a stool the whole night--he's an old man, heh heh. Me and J. sat front row center of course! Paul even had J. hand him a napkin at one point. She had never been to the Improv before and said she'd be game to return whenever I wanted! Excellent. The white folks in the audience got picked on majorly. I was glad to be Latina!

Tomorrow I cannot wait to sleep in. I have slept in as much as I could the past 2 days (b/c Boss at Job #1 worked from home both days, so I sorta snuck in later than usual) but I need more sleep. I ate a lot yesterday! Lunchtime found me at the Houston Wellness Assoc. luncheon b/c the High-spanic Health Coalition Pres. was being honored, so several of us board members went. I ate almost all my lunch and even chased it with the flan which I normally hate, but I NEEDED something sweet. Then last night at the Improv J. and I shared the big Date Plate of fried appetizers, yum.

But tomorrow is a busy day indeed. First I must sleep in as late as possible and lounge around until I am able to peel myself off the bed. Then I gotta clean my gun (since I won't be able to do it tonight and I've been putting it off all damn week) and then get my buns up to the Academy in the afternoon so I can do my annual qualifications: handgun and shotgun. Then I will report for duty at 1830 for a special assignment; Mudflap will also be working, also my Sgt. friend. I will be paired up with a Major who adores me, and I suspect he requested that I work with him since we had fun working together the last time. We'll work 'til 0300 in our specific targeted area. I hope to catch some drunks since now I'm certified to administer the SFST's!

Sunday I have a lot of movie watching and library book reading to do but at some point I hope to visit L.'s new digs, as she is moving to Houston this weekend!

Health note: My skin is not doing so well, "all of a sudden." Also I am itching a lot at night again. I.e., my leg will itch, then my nose, then my side, then my neck, etc. etc. and it's just ridiculous. I think these things are stress-related and I am always struggling to get my stress under control. I am not sure what caused this latest stress flare-up though. I think I'm going to just start popping Benadryl at night after the box wine has sufficiently worn off. I also want to get one of those expensive spa facials, as soon as I can fit it into the budget.
