Oh my, I’m back. Sorry for such a long sabbatical. Work last week seemed pretty hectic, and then I got sick. Cursed with some odd throat ailment, I came into the office, rundown and raspy voice in hand. To be honest my bark was much worse than my bite. But the nervous ladies, who apparently have poor immune systems, sent me home for the day. I didn’t protest too much, and I spent the next couple of days camped out watching daytime TV. Short of the Student Bodies that I was able to catch, (seriously, it is a good show.) daytime TV was disappointing at best.
Now back at work I am garnering all sorts of sympathy, as my voice has not returned to a normal frequency yet. And the week already has seen me quarantined from the rest of my coworkers. I don’t really mind, at least no one is bothering me. They are suggesting again today that I go home early, but I think I will solider on.
On Saturday, I was able to catch the theatrical showing of Beauty and the Beast in Calgary. At Christmas, Eric had voiced that he wanted to go to a concert or show before he left on his mission, and promptly tickets were purchased for this event.
Overall, the play was okay. Although if you have seen the movie, you have pretty much seen the play, well with the addition of some unnecessary songs, which just served the purpose of making the total running time three hours. True to the movie, the Beast was pretty ugly as a human. Seriously, why doesn’t Belle want to marry Gaston? I would pick Gaston over the Beast, hands down!
Despite not feeling up to my normal self and the below normal temperatures, I think we all had fun in Calgary. Congrats to Brent and Jen on their new house, and new furry addition to their family.
A sad announcement in the fact that it looks like we are losing Mary at our house. At least we have 30 more days together. Hopefully there are a lot more Jon and Kate Plus Eight marathons to watch this month. Confirmation hopefully tomorrow, but it looks like we are putting the band back together with A.F. Proof that as much as you try, friends really shouldn’t live in different houses.
I guess that is all for today, in my mind I felt like I had a lot more to write.
A Happy April Fool’s Day to all of you. The lame radio remembered this morning, but all of their jokes weren’t that funny. Please just remember I am not a fan of practical jokes, at all. I don’t think they are funny and will not laugh, so if you are looking for a light hearted participant, it isn’t me.
Looking forward to whatever April may bring. Good Luck to you all. God Speed as well.
Keep doing what you’re doing.
