Yeah, I'm still here...

It's been a while since I last posted. My apologies. Luis came home and now I have less free time. Lame excuse, but there it is.

I woke up in the middle of the night last night with a headache. I got up, swigged down a BC Powder (the best thing ever to happen to headaches) and went to sleep on the couch. Our mattress sucks, and Luis snores like a freight train, so I figured the relative privacy of a futon mattress might help scare off the pain in my head.

Two more BC Powders later and my head feels like it's stuffed with a wet rag. But it's not thumping in pain, so I consider that an improvement.

Today we are going to the house of one of my fellow Dragon Boat team members to look at his kitchen. He wants some drywall work done and when he met Luis at the races, they talked about Luis doing the work. So we'll go see what is what out in Tigard.

This evening we might head out to Banks, Oregon to see one of my co-worker's race his tiny car. He is obsessed with it, he talks about it all during the work week. But he is a funny guy, and if he had a good tan and a Mexican accent, he would essentially be Luis. So I figure they will hit it off well, and I might make a few new friends as well.

That's it for now.....

1 hour, 57 minutes

Luis arrives in two hours. I'm sitting at home, willing the clock to move faster so I can go to the airport. Then we're going to my pre-race Dragon Boat party. And tomorrow we have two races - one at 11.40, the other at 4.15pm. I'm pumped, pumped, pumped.

Now if only it was 7pm.....
