Another fabulous Friday...

My boss came through for me and I'm currently metabolizing some very serious anti-biotics...hopefully their busy killing off the strep throat I've been sporting for the past week.

I took my first dose last night and this morning I'm already feeling a little better.

I spent my day out in lab sanding, sanding, sanding...and scuffing, scuffing, scuffing the paint on my s10 hood and the bumper I'll be painting next week.

I was blessed by a SMALL break in the deadly heat and by my old buddy Camacho (who timed out of my class months ago) taking the morning class and keeping me company...

Here's a picture of him doing his immitation of a greaser to keep me laughing.


The best part was when one of our classmates pretended he was gonna throw something at him and Camacho jumped from the floor (where i was seated, sanding my bumper) into a low crouch...and then started to snap...and I immediately recognized it as West Side Story. I started to sing the soundtrack and laughed so hard I nearly pissed myself.

I successfully got both my s10 front end and my bumper sanded and prepped for paint next week.

In some free time yesterday I mixed up some custom paint which I'll use to paint my cell phone...sparkly pink, of course... I can hardly wait!!!

In the meantime, here's a photo of my instructor helping some of my classmates match the color of their hood for refinishing...in case y'all were interested...

Now I'm resting comfortably at home...shades closed, a/c on...I'm doomed to at least another seven hours or so of no whiskey due to the anti-biotics...and I'm told I shouldn't be eating dairy either...which means no ice cream...two of my greatest vices

*sigh*

But I've got to get better so I can go back to work...I refuse to spend any of the money I have banked...which leaves me with nothing...

So instead of whiskey and ice cream...I look forward to tylenol PM and a bowl of golden grahams (with soymilk)...
