Instead I was supposed to be working two twelve-hour day shifts and two nights . . .
But my schedule changed -- and I worked during the week instead of the weekend . . .
So I got to be there most of the weekend after-all -- !!
I showed up late-ish Friday night, after a day shift . . .
I was tired, and fought to stay awake on those roads to Dryden.
An extra large coffee didn't do it . . .
So I had to crank the cold air and the tunes, and freeze, but it kept me decently awake . .
I was supposed to work a shift tonight . . .
But low and behold, guess what got a hold of me?!
Stress's worst killer -- sickness!
And so -- I called in sick . . .
And instead, get to fight of this little bugger at home with Tylenol, tea, and hot soup . . .
But the weekend -- it was grand!
Between some wild broomball games, tubing, many games of Dutch Blitz, singing around the indoor campfire, lots of good food, laughter, talking, stories, sleep [little for some people], fooseball, pingpong, coffee, tea, and just good times all around, I would say it went down in history as a grand time! If I hadn't started feeling sick . . . it would have been better on my part! But I still enjoyed it. And since pictures speak a thousand words, I shall leave you with them!
A hand slapping game -- greatly entertaining :]
The Blitzers
Story-time with Dawson :]
I caught Monica with her weekend's addiction!
Coffee kept us sane!
Some grand games of broomball!
[don't ask to look at my knees -- they suffered the worst end of the deal]
Yes--the snow was coming down as heavy as it looks!
The Pops and I :]
Hanging out with beautiful Teresa!
Love these ladies!
Doyle keeping them in great awe with his magic tricks!
Mark's grand plan of video-taking while tubing!
[and yes, the camera survived surprisingly!]
He schemed us to hop aboard and *scream* for the video :]
Entertaining ourselves with *childish* things :]
Hi Mark! Yes, we see you :]
And I come home to this wonderful surprise from a great friend!
Yes -- it was a weekend to go down in history with all it's grand times !! I thank God for wonderful friends!
