Unexpected Day off

I usually work on Thursday afternoons until about 8 pm. Unfortunately, the scanner I was scheduled to work on went down and won't be up until tomorrow. It was nice to have the day off, however, I have to work on Saturday to make up the hours and scan those patients that had to be rescheduled.

I spent the day paying bills, doing a little Christmas shopping and grocery shopping. I had the opportunity to check out the black Friday sales. It helped a bunch. I found that the things that are on the Christmas lists will be the best prices on black Friday. The on-line prices aren't good enough yet. I will be patient.

The kids were thrilled that I was home. I made tostadas for dinner. Jared was home around 6pm. We watched some fun movies from 1987. Jim Henson's Storyteller. It must have been a television series. There are 9 episodes of 30 minutes each. The Jared and the kids watched a few on Tuesday when I was on call. We watched two episodes. They were fun and we all snuggled before bed. Luke does his own little jig called "The Cockroach" It is a little dance to the music that ends up with him on the ground with his legs in the air like a dead bug. He came up with this on his own and it is really funny. It was nice to enjoy the evening with the family.

Except for Drew. Drew had lots of homework to do. It is midterm and he is struggling. He is getting there, but it has been a hard. He has been grounded for the past several weeks. He is burned out and so are we. We hope that it will get better soon.

I scored 10 points today. I ran 4 miles today. I got a short nap as well. I have been reading an article in the Ensign about dating. We are a few years away from the prospect, but it is best to put out the expectations in advance.
