And it's Moooonday!

I have fully recovered from my cold that I've had since Thursday night. All the medication I took didn't help much as the Nyquil kept me up, the Green Tea burned my tongue and Sudafed just stopped my sniffles for 10-15 minutes at a time. The only thing that worked was drinking water and putting Airborne on that. I know I'm supposed to take Airborne to prevent being sick, but I liked the taste of sparkling lemon water.

Weekend was pretty fun with Softball and hanging out with friends. We also got to sport our new team shirts that Lou designed. Even though we lost, we looked good playing and still had fun. Next weekend we have a double header and hopefully we'll be able to hang playing 2 hours straight.

Mondays have been pretty awesome with television shows, starting off with Monday Night Football followed by Heroes and then What About Brian. That is about 5 hours straight of watching tv, but I guess it's worth it when working 9 hours straight and all you want to do is lie down and watch tv. Can't wait til next weeks episodes of Heroes, that show has gotten me hooked the same as LOST did the first season. That Ali Larter chick is also hot, and Hiro has some crazy super powers. If you haven't seen it yet, try to jump on board and watch the episodes on NBC.com.

And now it's October

It's been another hectic month and I am sooo looking forward for my vacation coming up in 2 weeks. Lately, things have been going great. Work, still keeping me busy. Softball Season 2 has been underway. So far the teams we played are at the same skill level as us meaning we can hang. My application process for another position is still going on. I am just worried about my medical exam that I took last week. Due to a slight color blindness that I have with certain colors, I am unsure whether or not this will not be a road bump with the application process. I first noticed this problem when playing Puzzle Fighter 2 game and couldn't determine the colored boxes on the screen, yellow and green. I thought it was me being weird or my head playing tricks on me, but I also know a few other people have this same problem. I hope this isn't something huge that could deter me from getting into the Academy because I know I could do this. Oh well, I'll just pray and hope for the best.

I love when the Fall season comes, the weather gets much cooler and that means that snowboard season is just around the corner. I saw pictures of Mammoth and it's dumping ther like crazy. For some reason, I like cold climate because it keeps me wide awake. Maybe I have this wild crazy bear syndrome that allows me to wear my boxers all over the house and not worry about a damn thing even if it's about 50 degrees. Ha, I don't know if that little statement will deter me from a certain position I am trying to apply for, but we'll see how it goes.
