A long weekend ahead

I've been waiting for this respite. These past few months have been tough and the extra day off is a welcomed relief. Tomorrow, BJ and I are having "Girl's Day" out. Lunch at Reston Town Center with shopping afterwards. My nephew's wife is having a birthday in June and I'll have to find her a gift. And whatever strikes my fancy :o) - Then, if I'm not too tired we're going to try to see "The DaVinci Code". We've both read "Angels & Demons" and "The DaVinci Code" and are curious to see how the book translates to the movie.

Work is getting better. The boss have moved into the corner office previously occupied by Charlie. It took her about 10 minutes to do some puttering around and arranging her things and she took ownership of it. She looks like she belongs there. She's given me a few new assignments and I look forward to doing more for her. Jeff is having trouble adjusting to the reorg and the new things she is putting in place. I think he forgets that she is just the funnel. It is all coming from the Executive Group and she abides by their requests. She truly believes in the changes and I follow her lead. I want to see our project succeed. Once again I say I'm happy and I hope I won't eat my words.

I haven't been sleeping too well these past two nights. David came by to give me my body work and pushed and pulled and I think I feel better. We'll see how it is in the morning.

We had decent weather today. Sprinkles but the temp rose to the 80s. I anxiously await Summer.

And my Portuguese lessons continue. Some of the words stick in my brain and I find myself muttering them to myself. I guess I'm learning. I remember words like Maca (apple) and Moca (young girl) and know that I can get them confused easily. I can see my saying "That is a beautiful apple" but would have trouble telling someone to "take a bite out of that young girl". LOL This is a process and it goes on. I do believe I'm learning.

Not too much to complain about, but worry is with me. My friend Karen called a few minutes ago and her grand daughter (30ish) is in the hospital suffering from multiple blood clots on the brain. She has been in surgery all day and there is no news coming from the relatives. She's very worried and I don't blame her. I pray that our dear Lord touches Tracy and removes the clots and heals her completely. If you, dear reader, feel the need, please pray for her too.

I will report more as I hear it.

God bless you all.

Hello banana girl! It's TK. I have not been here in a while. I had some catching up to do. Good blogs. I didn't know that you were studying a new language. I wondered where the new word came from in your e-mail today. Now I know. Thank you for saying those nice things about us in an earlier blog. We very much enjoy your friendship, as well. I love the picture of you and the anchor. Have a great weekend!
