Rough weeky

I feel like garbage.  I am praising God at this moment for creating this wonderful day called Friday, and even better giving us the amazing day of Saturday and Sunday so that I can actually get a break from this cloth covered enclosure I call my cube. 

Wednesday night I ended up going to see a cubs game.  I don’t know what it is about me and beer, but we have been getting along really well lately.  I overindulged not only Wednesday night at the Cubs game, but overindulged last night during my billiard league, which puts me where I am right now, feeling like garbage from two straight days of no sleep and hangovers. 

I just got a call from the doctor and the skin tag that was removed was malignant.  Whatever that means.  The woman from the doctor that left a message for me sounded like there was ever doubt and had the tone of being a hero for delivering news that should have made me jump from my desk and start doing cartwheels.  I wish I had the time and know how to post the audio because it is really funny to hear this woman build up the tension.  “Hi, this is Debbie from Dr. Meyers office, and we just got the results back from the pathologist where they screened it for skin cancer, melanoma, as well as other skin diseases, and you will be happy to learn that everything came back negative, so you can breath easy knowing that you are fine.” 

I guess I shouldn’t mock good news.  This message is better than getting something like this: ”Hi, this is Debbie from Dr. Meyers office and we just got the results back from the pathologist…could you give us a call back when you have a second?”  That would be scary. 

Great America day is here and I can’t wait.  Each year my company rents out Six Flags Great America for one day before it opens for the season.  I can’t even begin to imagine how much it costs for us to have the whole park to ourselves.  Once you have experienced Great America without having to wait in any lines for anything, it kind of ruins it for the rest of the year.  This will be the first year that my wife has gone with me and I’m hoping that she can hang. 

The rest of the weekend is full of balloonacy.  Saturday is full of 7 solid hours of balloon entertainment between two events, so I should beat.  www.misterd.balloonhq.com.  I’ve uploaded some new photos on that site.  I am preparing to enter the realm of balloon attire by representing the balloon industry in a fashion show in a few weekends.  I am excited because this will be my first opportunity to create wearable balloon art. 

Have a great weekend!
