Holiday weekend

Because of the 4th, we don't have to work on Friday (7/3), which means I get an entire day all to myself! :) Granted, I'm losing 8 hours of work, but it's a sacrifice that I'm more than willing to make right now. My job isn't hard, but it's nice to have an extra day off every once in a while, especially when you don't feel well.

I've been to work every day this week, despite having contracted 'the plague' again. I was groggy all day yesterday due to some cough medicine that I had taken the night before. Not wishing to repeat my mistake the night before another early morning, I backed my dosage down from 2 tbsps to 1 tbsp. It cut out the drowsy feeling that resulted from the medicine yesterday, but it didn't work as well last night. I just can't seem to win. Oh well.

I spent almost an hour and 15 minutes on the phone with my best friend from Florida last night. She and I were discussing potential plans for when I vacation down there next month. There's so much that she wants us to do that I just don't know if we can squeeze it all in because I do have a few other friends that I'd like to see while I'm down there. My friend is talking about spending our days at the beach or lounging by the pool with mango margaritas and then spending our nights playing pool, going to clubs, listening to live bands, etc. Oh, and of course alchohol will be involved, at least a little bit since this is the first time that we've hung out since we became 'legal.' It sounds like it's going to be an awesome time! I'm so excited!

Jake was talking about going horseback riding with his cousin and his girlfriend. I think that could be a lot of fun, only I don't know where any riding stables are in this area. The only one I know about is in Bellefontaine. If anyone knows of one nearby, feel free to mention it. :) Jake's mom also talked about renting some canoes one day. This could really turn out to be an awesome summer!
