It’s been a busy week. This turns out to have been a really good thing. I’ve been a bit on the go all week. Most nights I wasn’t home until almost 9pm or later. Ok, for some of you this is no big deal. For me, this is definitely a change in behavior. It really started at the weekend before.
I had been puzzling over how to handle Monday. See my niece had a soccer game that I really wanted to see and Fleetwood Mac was in town and I really wanted to see them as well. So on Friday I had pretty much decided that I would just do both. I get off work early enough to make it to my niece’s soccer game, it was about an hour and a half and then I should have about an hour and a half race back across town, near where I started, and catch Fleetwood Mac.
I am so glad I did that. My niece’s team lost the game 2 to 1. However, they played much better than the last time I saw them and the last time they played that team they lost 5 to 2. It’s a really improvement. Oh and Fleetwood Mac
was really good. It was the longest concert I think I’ve been to. No opening act. They came on at 8:15, (tickets said the show started at 8:00 so that’s really good), they played for almost two and a half hours. No joke. I really enjoy Mick Fleetwood’s drumming. It was interesting watching Lindsey Buckingham play guitar, he has to have the most cramped playing style. No wonder he was shaking his hand out after a few songs. It makes my hand cramp just to think about. Stevie Nicks was… Stevie Nicks. What can you say. No Christine McVie, she gave it all up a few years ago. John McVie was there. In my opinion, he would have to be. It wouldn’t be Fleetwood Mac without him. I’m really glad I went. I would have been very disappointed to find out this was their last tour and I had completely missed them.
And so that was Monday. Keep in mind. I still had to work on Tuesday. My plans for Tuesday were not near as elaborate just more stuff to do. Work, the gym, and then I meet with a friend and his girl friend to discuss some stuff for his website. He’s just got his site and was ready to figure out how to make it do what he wanted. He’d offered dinner in exchange for knowledge. It was a good trade off. We nearly closed the place down. So for Wednesday you’d think I’d be aiming to get home earlier and relax. Yeah, that didn’t happen. I worked late, hit the gym and then a trip to Borders. They have been having a great cd sale. It was 50% off on most cd’s. Well, I spent a bit of cash on that. I got some things I really wanted and a few things that, I like the artist or a few songs and might not have gotten at full price. I’ve got about two thirds of them in my computer. I’m learning to love the DJ function in iTunes. That’s a whole other story though.
So on Wednesday at work our department admin says our new boss, (this is also a whole other story however, I try to keep office stuff out of this blog), wanted to take us all out to dinner on Thursday. This was the day I had been counting on for some chill time. Nope. Work, the gym and dinner downtown with the boss and the rest of the crew. It was a really nice dinner and a pleasant outting all together.
Friday…I finally made it. Our company is only open a half day on Friday this should help. Ok, so it did. Work, the gym and then the haircut that I’ve needed for two weeks and then home to get cleaned up and have a bite before going out to drumming. I did have a some time to relax in there. It was a good week though.
It seems there is, or maybe for me, an added bonus to being so busy and having so much to do. I lost weight this week. I’m not saying it’s the only reason. I did may the gym a few times and I changed some eating habits and they likely helped as well. I do think the activity had to help.
Now we’re to Saturday. My birds that have felt neglected all week because I haven’t been home to let them out to play, decided 8:00am was as late as I was going to get to sleep. And even after getting up they were determined to make sure I wasn’t going to try to go back to bed. I’ve even been dive bombed a time or two. They are going to be so pissed off at me when I make them go back in their cages so I can go out and do all the things I’ve got planned for today. I’m not going to get it all done, that’s ok though.
How was your week?
Cheers
