New Life - Day Twenty

Sleeping in is priceless. I woke up around 9am this morning. I think I fell asleep around 10pm I think...I must have really needed that sleep. It felt so good to sleep that long. Went out in the garage and relaxed a bit and watched the news and enjoyed the air. Butch came by and he, Matt and I went to breakfast and then went to Al's Hobby Shop in Elmhurst to look around. I ended up buying a couple of little vintage Guillows Kits. I bought a TBF Avenger and a Skyraider. They were pretty cheap, so I didn't feel horrible picking them up. Been a long time since I've been able to sit down and relax and build something. I love the satisfaction of putting something together out of a box of wood and making it look vaguely like an airplane. :) We came home and before long, we discussed lunch. I remembered that when I was at Dan and Emily's last week, Emily had mentioned a website that had some killer gift cards for places in Kane county for 50% off the value. So, I went on the site and got 2 $15 gift certificates for $15. Pretty cool! Butch, Matt and I went over there and picked up lunch and it was awesome. They have the best sandwiches. I had a grilled chicken salad sandwich on rye...gotta be the best chicken salad sandwich ever! I wish they were closer to work...it'd be so worth it and it's very reasonably priced. When we were still working at DuPage, my friend Heather and I went there at least once a week for lunch. I forgot how great it was. I think it's family run and every time we would go in there, we'd have to wait in line for like 45 minutes to get our order. Well worth it though! Anyways, came home and ate lunch and made my way to the garage to start on the airplanes. There really is something relaxing about building. It really just clears the mind for some reason. At least, for this dork it does! Worked on it all night. I got to spend the night building an airplane, watching the Bears game and cooking dinner on the grill. Nothing much more relaxing than that! I had a good day today and am ready for bed again. Not a whole lot of excitement today, but I needed the rest and relaxation after this week. Looking forward to another good night's sleep tonight. Goodnight, friends. Thanks for reading my ramblings again tonight. Catch you on the flip side... :) G'Night.
