It's Monday Monday

   Wow what a lazy day I had yesterday. I actually dreaded having a lazy day because I thought all I would do was miss food. But I really didn't. A couple of urges during the day but nothing I couldn't easily handle. I did my laundry early and went back to the hotel, relaxed, watched racing, and pretty much did nothing at all. I don't think I even got on the computer more than 15 minutes all day. It is amazing how sometimes your body just tells you, enough already, take a break.
   So here it is, Monday morning, time to face my final few days before the big event and I am getting more and more excited every day. I can't hardly wait for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to get here. Why Wednesday? That is the day I am headed home finally. It has been a very long 5+ weeks on the road and I am ready to get home and get this over with. The anticipation is elevating to the point that I probably am not going to be sleeping much over the next few days. I did sleep well last night and I thought I wouldn't after laying around all day, but I did and I woke up pretty refreshed this morning.
   I will finish up here today and head back to King Of Prussia, PA for one day to hand off that job to the guys that are going to finish the startup and get it running. I will then beat feet for home and a happy reunion with the folks at home and my sick puppy. She has surgery tomorrow and I think Melody is more nervous over that than over mine.
   I have a lot to do when I get home. Financial planning, advanced directive planning, a trip to my chiropractor for an adjustment, and a pre-surgical cleansing somewhat similar to a colonoscopy but not as severe. Melody and I were joking about what could possibly be up there after being on a two week all liquid diet. But, they say I need to do it and do it I will. I had told myself I would never go thru that hell again but it is only one bottle of liquid crap remover this time instead of three so I think I should be able to handle it. I remember my colonoscopy a year or so ago. It was ten times worse preparing for that procedure than actually going thru it.
   So it will be a very busy week and I am hoping that will make the time fly a little more than it has been. Of course, this entire trip has been very busy and hectic ever since I left home. I cannot believe how it has linked into such a long and exhausting trip. I have driven close to 6,000 miles since I left home and still have about 1,500 more to go before I get home.
   Just saw a post on Facebook from Laurie and it sounds like she is doing remarkably well. I hope I do that well. I sure would like a quick and speedy recovery and be able to relax at home for a couple of weeks and enjoy some things around home. Have a great week everybody, I know I am going too. George
