Hazah for Days Off

Today I had a day off from my primary job, it was great. It helped to get away from the stresses of thinking about becoming the head person in my area in the very near future where I am also the newest cast member. I worked for a couple hours at my friends game shop today and talked to him about my other work concerns. He's sympathetic to my worries about leading people that I just barely started working side by side with. I take comfort in the thought that it isn't forever and that the first month or two will be the worst.
After working at the game shop I had a "play date" with one of the girls I went through the Massage Therapy program with. She is fun to hang out with, but she is by far the most liberal friend I have. I'm probably her most conservative friend, on the flip side of things. Sometimes it's really hard for me to be with someone so different from myself, but for the most part we get along alright. We went for a walk in Chester Park, she corrected me in the fact that we were more on a hike. Walk, hike; it's all the same to me if its not running or jogging. I like the lower impact exercise. My folks do not have the best knees in the world, so I figure I should try and make mine last and take care of them. My Dad has a sweet deal, about 5-6 years ago he got new ones. (Total sarcasm here; poor Dad. Although he says he wishes that he would have done it sooner.)
At the end of our park "walk" we checked out this new Mexican place, Burrito Union. My friend isn't the biggest on Mexican, so she passed on trying it. The food was really good. I have a whole new appreciation for Mexican since it is on my diet menu and delicious. I decided on the pork since I usually don't make pork for myself. My next cooking challenge will be to learn how to make shredded whatever so I wont have to go out to eat to have it. It can't be that hard can it?
