Relaxing Day

Today was a very relaxing day.

The research manager left for her meeting about 7:30 and the weather was so nice that I went for a walk.

I then took myself out for breakfast and was early enough that I was able to take my time which allowed me to read some of one of the new books. It is political in nature, which I, unlike the research manager, love.

I got the car gassed up and went through the car wash, returning home to take it easy.

Relaxing and de-stressing is something that helps in the healing process and I enjoyed taking it easy, not so much resting as just taking it easy.

I spent part of the afternoon watching bridge, watching the Rays (Not so relaxing!) and cleaning off my desk which was weighed down by reports from the research manager.

There are two research items that I will mention.

The research manager has determined that infrared saunas would be good for me......detoxifying and all that. There may be a few at spas in the area and I definitely am interested in checking that out.

The second is that I find myself burping a little more often on some days. This occurred most recently on our way to Ruby Tuesday. The research manager mused about the difference between a burp and a belch. Since she was driving, I was able to research this myself. Answer: The Mayo Clinic says that there is no difference. This is important stuff.

Did you hear me mention Ruby Tuesday? Yes, I actually was brave enough to go back to the site of the arti "choke". We took our own avocado and worked it into our salads. Cool, eh?

One final note. While waiting to go out for dinner, I had about 90 minutes. I found MTV was running songs from movies preparatory to the MTV TV and Movie Awards show. I listened to that and read my book. Yep. I find MTV music relaxing because I, unlike the research manager, enjoy the music.

So, politics and "pop" music are two major differences in our tastes. Hey, opposites attract!

I'm going back to relaxing. See you tomorrow.
