Who doesn't love vacation? This year I get to go visit my kids and grandkids and catch a couple sessions of conference live (if you are curious what that is see mormon.org). I am excited. I spent the last couple weeks working as many hours as I could get so I would have a little extra spending money. Thankfully I was blessed with a lot of overtime and consecutive weekends, both of which have been very scarse with the crackdown on overtime lately.
Did I mention this is a road trip? I get to spend a couple days in the car with my husband on the way down and on the way back. Right now I am excited, my guess is that when I come back I will be much less excited with a very sore bum. This is the first really long road trip we have taken in a very long time, that is probably why I am looking forward to it, I have forgotten what they feel like.
I am a little nervous about leaving my dad, It's not like he doesn't have his wife to keep an eye on him, but it is going to be tough missing his doctors appointment, I hate getting information second hand, but thanks to cellphones hopefully his doctor will give me a call and I won't have to. Having the cell also puts my mind at ease knowing that he or his wife can call me anytime if they have questions. I am praying for good pain control and no complications or issues while I am gone.
For any of you criminals out there I have people watching my dog and house for me, so don't even think of trying to steal our old junk! (although that would mean I could get new stuff that wasn't junk...)
Last, a shout out to my friend Amy that is running the St George Marathon this weekend, I am very sure she will meet her goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. It makes me feel just a little guilty about not running lately, I have had a rough time getting back in to it since my pneumonia, I still get pain in my right lung when I run (which is supposedly healed) so I am taking it easy. I need to find a 5K on a Saturday to give me motivation because I am not one of those people that run because they love it so much (like Amy), I run because it keeps me in better shape and I like running in the races and lets face it, I like calling myself a runner. Guess I should probably actually get a little running in while I am on vacation so I don't have to give up that label:)
