It's Monday? Again?

I really hate coming into work on Mondays utterly exhausted. It’s bad enough that it is Monday and I have a whole workweek ahead of me….but then to be so tired that it is extremely hard to drag yourself out of bed? No fun.

Although Friday (with my headache) wasn’t fun, my overdose of Tylenol Extra Strength worked enough for me to just have a dull headache during the second part of the day. And thus I was able to pick up CP at work and head out to the Michael Franti & Spearhead concert. One word- AWESOME. CP and I have seen Franti a number of times in the past few years and he never disappoints. I would highly recommend you check out his music if you haven’t already. Seriously. NOW.

The rest of the weekend was spent scuba diving. First in a nearby lake in order to do navigation drills. Then we were invited to a shore night dive (actually two) which was really cool because all of the underwater creatures here in MA (fish, lobster, crabs, etc) are very busy at night. With only a small flashlight and somewhat murky water, I stayed pretty close to the dive master so that I didn’t get lost! Yesterday we did two boat dives off the coast of Cape Ann. The water was a bit colder as we went down 50 feet, but there were definitely more interesting things to see! Starfish, more lobsters and even an ocean pout which looked a lot like this:

Not my picture of an ocean pout

He was definitely the highlight of the dive as I was not expecting to see anything that big (he was probably about 6 feet long)!

After this weekend of diving, I’m even MORE excited about the diving we are going to do in Mozambique for our honeymoon….but also a little worried that we are going to be utterly exhausted after 6 days of diving! Seeing that we are both so tired after only two days it will be interesting to see how our body reacts to 6 days! Maybe instead of gaining weight on the honeymoon we will be the odd people that LOSE weight! Ha!

Scuba Diving terrifies me....you go girl!

And I know what you mean about being exhausted on Mondays. I have barely been able to keep my eyes open all day. I just keep reminding myself that I don't have to work on Friday and it seems to make everything better.

That sounds amazing, I have only snorkled once and that was just so much fun. Your honeymoon is going to be so amazing!
