Great weekend. Though sleep deprived.

Just jacking from my FB now...

Saw total eclipse!!! Not sure how close it was to apogee, it was 0318 (Florida). So cooooool! ^_^ Hubby didn't appreciate it as much, maybe cause I woke up him to tell him how awesome it was O_O

 I hope everyone's enjoying your Solstice, Full Moon, and caught the Lunar Eclipse last night! /hugs/

Caught only 3 hours of sleep, my own fault. Woke up and had fantastic IHOP breakfast (love that garden omelet with hollandaise). Drove 2+ hours to Fort Myers. Tried and failed to nap.

Family Lunch! Love this place (at Sweet Tomatoes). No military discount at this one (Fort Myers) though...

Got the rear tires done on the car. Sneef.

Hiked Calusa Outer Trail w/ hubby ~1.77mi hiked for 42 mins and burned 264 calories. OMG saw the owl's again. /lurv

Hung out for a wee bit, then drove the 2+ hours back. Split up (he got gas in one vehicle, I picked up dinner and beer with the other. Go Publix Subs and Michelob Autumn Sampler!) Sat our lazy butts on the computer til we pooped out.

Here I go, poopin out. /pooped

Great Week!

I actually had a really awesome couple of days.

I managed to talk my supervisor into giving my husband some hours in my site, and she put him on the schedule for 36 hours in each of  the next 2 weeks! We both work christmas but it's a middle shift and we get double time.

The next day (12/15) my husband made me sweet potato pancakes for breakfast and we made dinner a date by trying out a new restaurant. Saigon is a Taiwanese and Japanese restaurant we read was West Palm Beach's best kept secret. Considering we ate for under 25 dollars and totally pigged out on great food I am inclined to agree! I had a lovely glass of plum wine and the sea food chowmein. We shared a piece of sushi featuring conch which was awesome cuz I've never had it! ( It's kind of chewy, but tasty.) The portions are huge and I had to take 3 quarters of my meal home which made lunch the next day awesome.

After dinner we stopped by the store to pick up some eggnog and rum. The clerk, who we think may be the owner, gave us a free bottle of champagne. I've never had it and Shane doesn't like it but neat! We stayed up late playing video games and eating ice cream. Chocolate cookie quarry for husband and spumoni for me!

Thursday continued on nicely with us making time to make it to the gym before I went to work. After my warm up my legs are still very tight so instead of running fallout i ran intervals. In total I ran 8 minutes at 4.7 miles per hour and walked 13 minutes at 3.7 miles per hour, all at a 1 percent incline. I've taken far too long of the gym and I know I always say I need to go back but I really really need to go back. 24hourfitness.com tracks your visit so you can see your trend. The first 2 months after we joined a gym I have reached 15 visit the month. In the last 4 months I have reached the 4 visit medal only once.

Your soda > my sleep

So as im already in the ducking vehicle w/mileage filled out, soup-sammich LT radios me to come back in the shack so she could take the vehicle to 'get gas' and a soda. I've been here 12hrs. I have to be back here in 12 hrs, and she already took the damned car to go get mcdonalds. So tired. Almost too tired to be mad. Going to get home soo late.

/hate the overprivelaged youth

Tonight I pulled coverage at the 'quieter' gate for overtime. I'm earning every penny.

A teenage girl is having a birthday party tonight. She put the party up on her private school's facebook and built the damn guest list from people who posted they were coming. The paper list alone 218 names, some of which are as vague as "Tommy's girlfriend" (you know,  in case she shows up without him we have something credible to go on...) Several persons were let in, with parent telephone approval, based on the "I don't know who that boy is but let him in anyway and we'll ask our daughter when we find her" argument.

Though this was the girl's 18th birthday I'm sure mummy and daddy got some alcohol for their little-woman, but I doubt a gesture like that is necessary or appreciated when the private school teens show up stocked with smuggled booze and (as my husband so eloquently phrases it:) "pregamed like a mother-f'er". A car full of girls rolled up to the gate with a brunette in the backseat slumped over into the window. I asked if she was okay; knowing she damn-well wasn't asleep. They giggled and said she was fine. Then I saw the remnants of vomit down the side of the door. These teenage prats brought a girl ALREADY UNCONSCIOUS to a party with a horde of intoxicated self-entitled males. "Anyone need an easy rape? We brought Jenny!"

One neighbor left the neighborhood thought I should know that there was a young woman in a pink dress and black tights passed out in the middle of the street. Why the hell didn't they call the police or the neighbor or something?? I called Patrol but he was off-site getting fuel, so I called the parents directly. Is it too much too hope this news makes you rein(sp) in your daughter? Nah, they called me back to say they couldn't find her. Please god let her friends have found her and not some random person.

Before I left Patrol counted 48 cars along the main street (not including cul de sacs). This morning my Captain tells me there were over 80 different vehicles logged in to the house and each car had an average of 3 kids in it. Captain also told me that around midnight three police cars came in and busted up the party. They escorted every vehicle out. The sad thing is it probably made the girl more popular. I'm told several vehicles returned and the parents okayed the re-entry! Several mailboxes on the property were vandalized and 'poor security' will probably be blamed. What are we supposed to do about a horde of drunk rich kids, with two of us glued to the gates and only a one-man patrol car. Absurd.

No matter how much I ever end up making, I'll send the girl to military school if she ever thought she was so spoiled. Disgusting.

Tired of being tired

I've felt mildly ill for weeks. Congestion a decongestant doesn't clear, headaches, sort throat now and again, swollen lymph nodes in the throat. Can't shake it. I sleep 7-8 hours and still feel like I might fall asleep if I just closed my eyes long enough. No insomnia, but I'll trade back if given the option. Less appetite means my informal diet is working (6lbs in 3 weeks) but I have no energy. Suckin down tons of water but always a little thirsty. It's really driving me nuts. Toss in a few fantastically (woo made up a word there) stressful days at work and registering for school (and fretting about the cost of it) and I'm about to lose my mind.

I'm just, tired. Tired of being so tired. Let's face it, I'm pooped!

I was hoping it was like an allergy thing that would pass. It hasn't. I don't want to go start taking an anti-allergy every day. Bah!

No real point I guess. Just whining. :)
