I am dog dead tired, folks....

Frankly, every time we have a Monday holiday, its hell the rest of the week. Its been nonstop madness the last two days.  We've had two new clients, an overflow of files, and tackling the onslaught of files has worn me out.  I worked from 7 to 7 two days in a row, today I just quit working at 5, and just said heck with it! I'm over it. 

"Little Queenie" (aka Isabella) and I walked down to check out the new Riverfront Tuesday the 5th, since we didn't even get close to it Monday night when Billy Ray Cyrus took the stage July Fourth; however Kenny Loggins and Blue Sky Riders, his new band took the stage.  Speaking of the night before, the Fourth, the police were not letting anybody pass into the Riverfront area due to over capacity as it was, even arresting those people trying to cross the tracks to get into the place.  Shameful.  However when a lot of the people left after the fireworks, they did let more people go in so at least they could hear Billy Ray sing. I just left, heck with that crowd.  I figured I could watch it on YouTube somewhere...LOL.

A neighborhood friend of mine walked over to us a little while before the concert was going to start Tuesday night (Kenny Loggins), and gave us her VIP tickets (that somebody just gave to her) to be seated up front next to the stage.  We were in the 2nd row, excellent seats, and the drinks were free! That tickled little Isabella as she was thirsty she said, so she helped herself to the freebies, enjoyed the concert and bedtime wasn't till nearly 11:30 p.m.  Getting up the next day was a bear! However the Blue Sky Riders were pretty good. 

Yes, work has been brutal this week.  Today, I was listening to a new client dictate, "The patient is doing well with her Horizontal Therapy treatments..." yeah...that's exactly what I was thinking....

....

a nap!

...well, not exactly! ha!

Summer Motion 2011

Every year our little town, Ashland, Kentucky, has 4th festivities, not unlike anywhere else, geared for family fun and live entertainment.  For the first two days all activities are held a couple of blocks up from me at Central Park, and next few days, all the activities center around the Riverfront, which has been a few years in the developing, and now is finished.

The headliner this year is Billy Ray Cyrus, who will be performing tomorrow evening, at the riverfront.  His achy breaky heart hit was filmed here at our local Paramount Arts Center, with many local fill-ins in that video. It was quite the hub in the day.  I'm not a country music fan, but I suppose I'll mosey on down to the river, two blocks down from me, and enjoy the festivities tomorrow night.  I wished there was more rock n roll concerts but that's just me...

At Central park these last two days, there were arts and crafts booths, lots of food, a car show, a motorcycle show, a wrestling match, games booths, petting zoos, NASA was there with an exhibit, local health screenings, a 10K race, a cornhole competition (don't ask what that is...lol), inflatables for the kids, and some unique stuff too, like some guy who makes musical instruments into lamps, and another dude blowing hand glass ornamental objects to include forming glass lamps, bulb ornaments, etc...but a little too pricey for my budget.

Also at Central Park performing stage, local talent in the area got their chance to go on stage and perform, and from what I heard, they were pretty darn good. Its been an interesting couple of days, but at least I have a parking place now since things have moved to the Riverfront! The heat is pretty bad outside though, making it rather uncomfortable.  Hope you guys are enjoying your local community events.  Happy Fourth everybody!

Life, Liberty. and the Pursuit of ...

whatever flips your switch! Have a safe and happy Fourth!
