Glad I slept when I could

  • Howdy folks. It's early on a lovely Monday morning, and I'm tired. I had a fantastic weekend in Fresno with Cathy and Amy. Friday afternoon we left San Lorenzo around 5pm. I didn't get much sleep that day since I spent three hours at three different shelters. What's funny/ironic is that when Michelle and I got done traversing the east bay for Patti-Sue, she was waiting on their porch. My dad was so happy to see her. Okay so we didn't get to Fresno until about 9pm due to horrendous traffic and rain. Fun times. That and we stopped in rural Modesto to go pee at some gas station and it was the nastiest bathroom I've ever come across. Cathy wants to forget this experience and put it behind her. It's that bad. Once we finally arrived at Amy's place, we ordered pizza for our late dinner, had a few drinks and watched Walk Like A Man (starring Howie Mandel) in her room. We had another drink after that, and then hit the hay since all of us were tired.
  • On Saturday we got up around 10am, ate breakfast and got ready for our adventurous day. We ended up shopping at two malls, and eating lunch at Sonic in between. It was awesome but I think I wore Cathy/Amy out. I'm so used to running on no sleep, so when I actually get enough I'm wound up like the Energizer Bunny. Oh well, guess that's a good thing. I got new sunglasses, flipflops, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle poster, and two cute girly shirts. See, now that I like cute clothes, it's hard to find stuff in my size that isn't way expensive. Torrid has awesome clothes, but I don't like forking out $60 for jeans and $20 for a shirt. I'm cheap. Anyway, we had a lovely shopping experience, then went back to the house to unwind a bit. After watching Pineapple Express and lounging around, we went to Claimjumper for dinner. Cathy had a giftcard and we were hungry. Our waiter looked like Dwight from The Office. Haha. Later on at Amy's place we had more drinks and watched movies downstairs. I got pretty buzzed/drunk. It was fun. I crawled into bed around 1:3oam I think. Cathy was watching some George Clooney movie, she said I muttered something about him being overrated and then passed out. Haha.
  • So late Sunday morning we had to leave Fresno and make our way back home. We made great time too, in about 2 hours and 20 min. Plus we stopped in Livingston to pee. I got home, unpacked, did a lot of catching up on housework, then took a nice 40 min walk. Later on I uploaded pics/videos to Myspace, Facebook and Fresno. So yes I had a great weekend.
  • I'm glad I did have fun because now it's back to the old grind. I'm not getting much sleep at all for the next few days. This morning Dad has an appointment with the neurologist and I have to work the afternoon gig later. I'm working both jobs on Tuesday and I may have to take their dog to the vet that morning. Oy. Oh well. Oh yeah, here's a brief video of my weekend activities. It involves a stripper pole and flatulence. Awesome!!
