Friday had finally come and I was more than grateful. The first week back after a week's vacation is always tough. I wish there was a way in which I didn't have to work summers, or at least no more than about three days per week,. In fact, that'd be ideal. Nonetheless, my current situation calls for me to work five days per week in a fairly stressful environment, so that will be what I do until change presents itself.
I went to work with my brand new haircut in tow, and my work day went well. I was more than excited about the looming four day weekend. I ran at or about 12:45pm and it was an easy one. I left work for the day somewhere near 4:15pm - just a little early in an anticipation of a fun and exciting weekend. I thought that if I got home a little that I might be able to get a nap and get a jump on the numerous chores needing addressed. I saw Mindy heading home from the pool just as she was turning off Wilson onto Roberts Rd. She didn't see me. I was in my BM'er.
After a nap and chores, I took several minutes to back-up my June pictures to CD. I had enough to fill two CD's. Just as I finished Mindy arrived with a handful of gear for the weekend. This would be a kidless weekend for Mindy, at least until late Sunday afternoon. After Mindy arrived, we hung out for a few and had a drink. We didn't prepare for Barley's until about 7:30pm. While took a shower to cure her pool hair, I watered my front yard flowers.
We left for Barley's just after 8pm and arrived shortly there after. Bob and Mary Ann were already there finishing up their dinner. For a Friday, the population was rather sparse, but that's how it often is during summer months when so much is happening around town. Through the evening Josh and his ex-girlfriend Bre showed up, as did Paul & Dan. We passively watched the Reds and Indians, although through seven innings the Indians were putting a 7-0 hurting on the Reds. I joked through the night that it wasn't over and as it turned out, it wasn't. The Reds scored 9 runs over the final two innings, including a walk off grand slam to ice it 9-8. The word drama isn't dramatic enough to describe the electricity in the air. The pub erupted with joy as all the Indians fans decided they should convert. Well, OK, that's a bit much.
After the game ended we paid our bill and headed home. It was a beautiful night so we took full advantage and got in the hot tub. We went to bed just before midnight after I choked down two Advil to ward off any possibility of a morning headache.
