Today I actually have a day off!!!!!
This is rare and I am looking forward to having days off here and there instead of a full 2 weeks of vacation this summer.
So today is my first one of those days, I am up early but that's OK it gives me more time in the day to enjoy myself!
My plan is to bring the dogs to the dog park, maybe do some shopping. Tonight I will go to a nearby town to where my mother is camping. It's the Relay for Life (cancer walk) and her boyfriend had been battling cancer and is now in free of it. He will take part of the the survivor lap and then we will head back to the campground for a while. At dusk my mother and I will head back to the relay to see the lighting of the luminaries.
Remembering loved ones lost to the disease. Luminaries are lit during a moving ceremony at dusk , and then the participants start there 12 hr walking. Music and entertainment is always in full effect so I think we will stick around for a little bit.
I promised myself to take part of the walking next year no fat excuses!
I will head home and tomorrow is for relaxing.
Sunday being Father's day I will make an effort to visit my dad longer then I normally stick around. It's also my best friend son's b-day. So I need to make a pit stop there. I am not going to the party for sure so I will try to bring him a gift in the morning.
More important then any of this... I will stay OP all week-end and try to exercise every day!

I just did the Relay for Life this past weekend and it was truly moving and actually quite fun. We started at 6pm with the Survivors, then paused at 10pm for the luminaries (the most emotional part for sure), then carried on through the night until 6am. Exhausting but totally worth it.
