RESTED AND RELAXED

Today is the last day off I have of my holidays. I have not been at work since December 24th.

I had 30 hours of holiday time to use up and it couldn't have come at a better time.

As many of you know I have trouble sleeping and had recently reached the breaking point for lack of sleep. I am not upset or stressed about anything. I just can't sleep through the night.

We were busy through the holidays and I had lots to do. I was running on auto-pilot for most of it.

Then it happened. I slept. I slept through the night on December 28th. Then I had a nap on the 29th mid morning. Then I had another nap in the afternoon.

Bedtime came and I slept again right through the night again only getting up to use the bathroom and then falling right back to sleep.

I was not sick. I just slept. I relaxed and lounged around. I spent a day in my pajamas. I was more rested than if I had gone away on a holiday somewhere exotic. My batteries have recharged

I go back to work tomorrow and will be back in a routine during the daylight hours. Let's hope this new nighttime routine will continue also.

And no I won't be napping at my desk.

CALL YOUR HUSBANDS OVER FOR THIS POST…

I had a 4 day weekend and my BB Guy and I were heading out of town.

He was meeting a customer on Friday afternoon so we started out heading in that direction.

That night found us in Penticton, British Columbia and in the middle of an Elvis Impersonator contest and a huge car show.

We had noticed many hot rods on the way up there and now we had found the mother load.

Here is just a small sampling of what was cruising by. Go and get the men folk and a paper towel to mop up the drool. These are some amazing rides.

I hope you get all the drool off the computer screen and that the guys are not driving you nuts going “please, please, please, please can I get one. I’ll take care of it and clean it and polish it, honest I will”.

HOORAY FOR B.C.

This is a long weekend in British Columbia. We are celebrating B.C. Day. Nothing really big to celebrate, not an anniversary date or anything like that just a day to celebrate the province of British Columbia.
It gives us a long weekend in August so who's gonna complain.
I don't know if this is true or not but it was written in a Vernon newspaper. His name is Glenn Mitchell and credited this info to Wikepedia.

Ah, our flag.

You know: The flag of British Columbia, Canada is based upon the shield of the provincial arms of British Columbia. At the top of the flag is a rendition of the Union Flag, defaced in the centre by a crown, representing the province’s origins as a British colony, with a setting sun below.

He also states:

Apparently it was introduced on June 14, 1960 by Premier W.A.C. Bennett, Wikipedia further states. And, also, apparently, the four wavy white and three wavy blue lines symbolize the province’s location between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains. And furthermore, the setting sun represents the fact that B.C. is the westernmost province.

Well I do know that means the coffee shop will open at 9:00 this morning instead of 7:00. That also means this is all I am posting until I get my coffee. Well okay I will post one more item before I go.
