Scored a day off today. So happy to be awake and not at work!
How's everyone doing today?
= new reply since forum marked as read
It was a long hot week.
That's wonderful news about your day off. 
The downside of my day off is that I have to work Saturday clinic tomorrow. The good news is I may not have to for much longer. Our new clinic manager is thinking of eliminating Saturdays for clinic.
Enjoy your day!
I am doing well, and feeling so happy after having a triumph being the featured poet last night at a local open mic...
It went really well, and we all had a great time!
I'm going to be happy all day!
planning on not doing a damn thing today 
At work today, but a pretty easy day. EXCEPT, the boss's wife is now retired, she is coming a couple days a week to help file, clean up, etc. Need to get my disaster of an office under control because I am embarrassed to have her see it this way on Monday - she's really organized and efficient. So, a project for a Friday afternoon, in between some IRS calls, where "Your wait time is estimated to be greater than 45 minutes" is a very common on-hold message - on the Priority line for tax professionals, no less.
Why am I Great today:
1) It's Friday. That in and of itself should be enough.
2) Just got back from lunch. I decided the other day that, rather than wandering around the mall and getting in trouble at Nordstrom's or Macy's, I was going to start hitting the local branch of the gym at lunch time. So, I just got back from the pool, and it felt great on a hot day.
3) It's Friday.
4) Planning a really long ride either tonight or tomorrow morning, depending upon when the forecast severe storms hit. Sounds more likely I'll get it in tomorrow morning. If so, I'm going to leave the house around 4 am, and am planning to do 50 miles, down into some of the very southern suburbs of my county. Should take roughly 4 hours, with a few 5-10 minute breaks. And, I'll probably find some little diner or coney and have a good breakfast, too.
5) It's Friday.
6) Going to take some time and go fishing at some point, too. I'd like to score something bigger than panfish, not that they aren't really good eating. I got some catfish bait balls the other day, I would love to catch some nice channel cats, one of my favorite fish to eat.
7) It's Friday.
8) Just made a playlist of the country songs I have gotten into recently. Sugarland, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Faith Hill, Darius Rucker, Tim McGraw, some tracks from Bon Jovi's country album, Carrie Underwood, the Dixie Chicks. Then, just to make it weird, I threw in a bunch of stuff that was as far from country as I could think of - Linkin Park, U2, Green Day, some regular Bon Jovi, The Script, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, etc.
9) It's Friday.
10) I just paid my bills, and I have some left over from the last paycheck.
11) It's Friday.
12) Had the ultrasound on my veins the other day. Tech said they were a mess. I knew that. Now, I have the follow up with the cardiologist and can get the surgery scheduled. Doesn't bother me a bit -- I'm pretty matter of fact about it -- kind of just another chore, like scheduling the fall cleaning on my furnace ahead of heating season.
13) It's Friday.
14) Signed up with my friends to do a Century Ride for charity this fall -- that's 100 miles for those who aren't into cycling.
AND, FINALLY
15) IT"S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
