Just keeps going and going....

Well, another day of fighting the flu is drawing to a close. Called in sick to work today, as I had another night of 1-2 hrs of actual sleep. Then Aaron introduced me to the wonderous drug that is Tylenol PM. After eating breakfast and hitting the sack, I promptly cashed out for nearly five hours. Sweet, sweet rest. Didn't do much of anything the rest of the day, except to take care of a long-overdue grocery list. Then I did laundry at ~9 pm, since I won't have time to do it tommorrow before I leave for Taylor. I am anticipating this weekend with joy in my heart, since it is about the only thing I can be joful about right now.:) Just kidding, God has blessed me in more ways than I can ever imagine, and he will still be there long after this little sickness has gone. It would be nice if He couls take care of it before the weekend, though.:)

Luke's not the only one...

Stuffy head, runny nose, aches and pains, chills, fever, fatigue, headache...I really REALLY dislike being sick. I really REALLY dislike having to work while sick, let alone when I don't have time to eat lunch as well. Not a good day at work, and I'll leave it at that. Plus, I missed walleyball at the rec because of this junk. Oh, well, at least tommorrow night is church services. I need something to lift my spirits.
Sorry for the overly negative post, but that's about all I got today.:(

All Things New

Well, I just got back from KC for the weekend. Great weekend, got to go to my first mainstream contempory Christian concert (I have seen Accapella 3 times). It was awesome! It was the All Things New Tour, w/ Steven Curtis Chapman, Casting Crowns, and Chris Tomlin. There was about 25 of us that went together, and it really was a great time. It was a little loud at times, but I imagine that's to be expected.
One other kind of amusing thing was riding from Topeka to KC in Chelsie Bahr's Blazer with a total of four girls and two guys in it. As one of the guys in the front seats, I didn't have much of a problem with it, but I think the girls would have a different opinion. :)

Nothin' goin' down

Wow, I can't believe it has already been a week since my last post. I guess I still don't quite have the habit formed yet. Anyway, I did want to say that I'm sorry for so few postings, but honestly, not much happens with me cause I'm at work every day. And believe me, you don't want me to bore you with the mondo excitemnet that is the Manhattan AmPride station. I do finally have a saturday off, though, which is nice since I've worked the last three in a row. Some excitement: I am Napolean Dynamite according to the quiz thingy that's been goin' around. Sweet!
Oh, yes, musn't forget - Congrats to Bryce and Erin!! I wonder if I should ask when the new CD will be out.... :).

Shoveling ..it...

Ok, I'll start by saying that I had a really crappy day at work today. Thank goodness I only had to work until two, even though I was scheduled to leave at one. (That was a direct result of my crappy day). In the floor of the shop at work is a drain pit, about 2 ft wide x 4 ft long, and about 4 ft deep. This pit is used when washing the floor, washing new tires/rims prior to balancing them, etc. The drain for the pit is approximately 3/4 of the way up on one side. This allows solid particles to settle and then it is mostly water that drains off the top. The problem with this system is that eventually, the solid particles will fill up the pit to the point that they block the drain, and then the whole thing fills with water rather rapidly. Take a wild guess as to what I was doing from around 10:30 or 11 this morning until nearly two this afternoon. Yup, five trashcans full of ..it...and don't think for a minute that it was mostly mud and therefore would not smell bad. This mud also contained traces of various other fluids, such as oil, gasoline, antifreeze, coffee (when it gets cold in my thermos), and who knows what else. Needless to say, I removed my boots and left them OUTside the apartment when I got home. So, my day has been looking up ever since I got home.
