What a Weekend!

It has been a long, tiring and hot weekend.

Last Friday evening, I worked until 8 pm because we were short-handed. The evening went well, but I was very tired. I got about 3-4 hours of sleep Thursday night because I was up sick half the night. Myself and several of my REACT team members decided to meet at IHOP in bricktown and have dinner on Thursday evening. Unfortunately, something wasn't quite right because three of us spent most of the night in our restrooms. That's one IHOP I will not be going back to.

When my alarm went off Friday morning, I seriously considered calling in sick because my stomach was still churning and I had very little sleep....but, I had promised my boss the day before I would stay and work late Friday, so I felt obligated to go into work. It was a hard day and I did my best to stay awake. Needless to say, I was ready to go home at 8 pm and get some sleep.

I tried to sleep in late on Saturday, but that was impossible. The only thing I really had planned was a family reunion in Rush Springs. The Slate family (my mom's side) were all getting together at my cousin's house for an afternoon of eating, fellow shipping and enjoying each other's company. We did have a good crowd, including relatives from Texas and Louisiana. It was really neat because my family was there....Karla, Gayla and Stephen. They had to leave early because Gayla had to be at work early, so I stayed at the reunion and mom and dad took me home.

That evening, we did absolutely nothing but watch TV and stay inside where it was cool.

Today was a day of rest. After church, Karla and I had lunch, cleaned up the kitchen and I took a nap, while she went grocery shopping. So, I did very little today.....I listened to OCFD on my laptop, listened to my work radio and listened to my REACT radio as I watched TV.

This coming week is suppose to be in the 100's...all week long. This heat is unbearable and I plan on staying in cool places. For the next couple of weeks, I will be working on putting the final touches on Falls Creek preparation.
