Hello Normal Life

While I personally consider Christopher Columbus to be more conquistador than hero, I am thankful for this day off. Our event was a HUGE success and I am happy that all of the late nights, stress, and hard work paid off in ways that I can't even describe. We made A LOT of people happy this weekend :) Oh, and I even rappelled off a 400ft building...pics to come as soon as I have them!

So now it is Monday afternoon and I'm still in my pjs. I was sick most of yesterday but feel much better today. My parents were here this weekend and it was SO WONDERFUL to have them around. My mom really helps keep things organized and I just feel *happy* and *comfortable* when they are around. I've seriously neglected my housekeeping duties the past few months (thank goodness for Brian) so it was so nice to have mom's help whipping things into shape around here. I think I am going to make their visits mandatory when I have major work stress :)

Right now I am feeling a sense of relaxation that I haven't felt in what seems like months. The cats are sleeping next to me, it is overcast and chilly outside, I'm sipping a cup of tea, and I am almost finished reading a book about the zombie apocalypse that I just started last night. Oh, and between now and the end of November, I am cashing in all of my "recovery" time and taking every single Friday off if possible. AND my Monday-work-from-home weeks are actually going to be possible. LIFE IS GOOD!
