It sure has been a very long week ... cold nights are awesome but no rain is not.  Lot of time working, so much OT actually but I enjoy it.  I mean it keeps me active and busy on top of earning money while doing it.  I realized on my day off all I do mostly is sleep because I am catching up on it!  I did try to do some house stuff like cement work and boy my legs and fingers were so sore.  I used my hand to mix it since it was small amounts of concrete but bending a lot and some lifting, the back of my legs were strained.  I still need to do more but I ran out of materials so will have to figure out how much to get because the area I was working on is about 70% filled or done.

 Weekly Update:
Last Monday night I went to this HBO show premier for "Here and Now," which is coming ... this week I think.  The event was nice and the food was amazing!  Nice big shrimp and a donut station!  The appetizers were so delicious and the Caesar Salad so tasty.  I think it is a little sad that the best thing about the event was the food.  The show, I didn't connect with it at all and in fact found it extremely boring.  Trying to be a drama with some freaky numerology twist but ... just didn't work.  Played on all the current stereotypes of a mixed-marriage family, gay child, Asian doctor and the teen angst with parents who are what you would expect.  It may go a few seasons probably but just wasn't my type of show ... but I did love the food!

 At the movies:
A new #1 finally shows up as Fifty Shades Freed opens to a decent 38.8 million.  Slightly above expectations and the question is will this carry on a bit.  Historically speaking it will not and may suffer a deep drop next week.  Also new at #2 is Peter Rabbit with 25 mil to open and almost on target for that one.  Fair word-of-mouth and could get it to 100 mil.  New at #3 is The 15:17 to Paris with 12.6 mil and just about were it was expected.  Quick burn out on this one.  Drop down to #4 is "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" with another 9.8 mil as this film keeps hacking away trying to get to 400 mil but will come up a bit short.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Greatest Showman" with another 6.4 mil as it continues its Oscar hunt.
