There isn’t much to discuss about this weekend, I was sick for most of it.  But there were some very amazing things that, sick or not, I got to be a part of.  So, with no further delay, let’s get on to the weekend decompress…

FRIDAY

• I came home early on Thursday with a cold.  I had purchased some Nyquil…and used it.
• 19 hours later, I woke up on Friday morning…late.
• I felt better, but wasn’t 100%, so more meds and more sleep.
• Sid came home and cooked some dinner.
• We decided to go check up on Brian and the youth for the Suncoast Youth Movie Night.
• We caught the end of Paul Blart:  Mall Cop…I don’t think we missed much.
• We drove home and I hit the meds and crawled back in bed.

SATURDAY

• Saturday morning came early and I had lots to do.
• I felt pretty well, and headed on down to Common Ground.  It was their Backpack Attack day, 2009 backpacks plus health screenings and food boxes.
• It was CRAZY!  Pics and vids to come.
• I finished the Media Shout stuff and headed home.
• After blogging, finished 2 projects, and getting ready for a couple more, I decided to catch a nap.
• I woke up and headed to Home Depot to fix a small project for Suncoast.
• Some X-Games, NASCAR, and reading, and it was off to clean the kitchen for my lovely bride.
• I was half asleep when Sid came home, we talked about a major opportunity in our lives, and then we turned out the lights, and called it a day.
• Except, I didn’t go to sleep…I was awake and NOT going to sleep.  I tossed and turned for most of the evening.
• I got out of bed and wrote a few things out and did some praying, and then crawled back into bed.
• I finally passed out around 4:10 am.

SUNDAY

• And the alarm when off at 5:00…I love my new job, but Sunday mornings are ROUGH!
• I got up, grabbed a shower, got dressed, loaded the truck and headed to L-O-L for some Suncoast.
• I was jakked about this Sunday.  I had some plans to start recruiting team members AND we were starting a new series…launching with AC/DC’s Highway to Hell as an opener.
• You read that right…just sit on that for a while.
• It was awesome.  Brian brought the Gospel heat and God did some amazing things.
• I did my recruiting, met some new friends, and even enabled some team work to happen.  All in all, it was a GREAT Sunday.
• We got the church torn down and I headed home.
• Sid and I had appointments for 1-hour massages, a celebration of new job/paycheck/house out of foreclosure.
• We made a promise that when those things happened, we would make appointments for massages…and they…were….a….mazing….!!!!
• When we finished, we decided to drop by BJ’s to browse and plan for a future shopping day.
• We were both getting hungry, so we decided to head to Barnacle’s, one of our favorite local haunts.
• We had a great dinner and then went home.
• After letting the dogs out, we headed to bed for the night.
• At about 2:00 AM, I woke up sick…like puking my guts out sick.
• I didn’t sleep much and I felt horrible.
• But in the AM, I felt much better.
