Last night off...

    Enjoying the last day of my weekend with my Sweet Gal!! Lord, it's been a wonderful week!! We had a few glorious days of fine weather and we reveled in each others' company, even when stranded by the side of the road with a mangled muffler hanging under the Jeep. Tomorrow, it's back to work up at Albany, and it's the everdreaded four-banger work night. But it's all OK, because Sunday, after a short nap, I'll be back in my loving gal's arms!! As I've blogged before, there's nothing better than that!!

      It's one of the by-products of working nights: Turning your body clock around. Today, for the first time since coming home on Friday afternoon, I actually feel rested and normal. Now, tomorrow, I have to right back on nights for 4 nights. For the first couple of days after the work week, I'm pretty useless. When I finally start feeling energetic again, it's time to go back on nights. And that, my friends, totally sucks.

      Today, the next Black Ops map pack is on sale on Xbox Live. Soon as I'm done with the morning chores, I'll venture online to buy the maps, since my Sweet Gal gave me the gift of Microsoft points for our last anniversary. Love you, my Gamer Gal!! Moving on...
