The Marks of a Good Weekend

That's it right there.
It might look like I forgot to wipe my mouth after drinking some coffee, but no, that's the mark of a good weekend.

I woke up this morning and stretched, moving to get out of bed. With the sun beaming in through my half opened blinds, it felt like I was under a spotlight. As I climbed out of my warm bed pains shot up along both sides of my chest. Then they were gone.

As the day wore on the pain didn't re-emerge until.. I laughed.

"Check that out."

I looked over to see a huge dog go running by with a little kid on its back. The kid was crawling along it's back, holding onto the dog's collar squealing with excitement. Then the dog veered and ran off the trail and into a bush. It only took a second, but the squeal quickly changed from a happy high pitched noise to a slow, low, quickly escalating bawling cry.

Parents were soon on the scene laughing. We laughed as we jogged by. It had just been on of those absolutely ridiculous things.

As I laughed, the pains came back, burning my sides. I stopped laughing and stopped jogging, holding my sides.

"What? Stitch?" My 'running buddy' asked, pulling up along side.

"No no... Muscle pain, I'm not sure what from, just got it that second?" I said, walking along, hands wrapped around my sides.

"Wait, burn from laughing?" He said, laughing now.

I thought back.
"I did do a lot of laughing this week you know, guess I strained the muscles." I said smiling.

"Shut up." He said with a groan "I guess you must have strained your Chuckle-ers." He said smiling now like an imp.

I laughed again.... and Quickly stopped as the pain shot through me again.

"Well I suppose it could be from climbing. My arms are a little weak too."

"Well then Come on and stop being a pussy, we're using our legs now." He said, tapping his watch.

"Well said." I said, sprinting and leaving him behind.

Either way, whichever is the reason for the pain, it's the same cause.
But the climbing was only a few hours.
The laughing..... that was for days.
and either way, I guess I really did laugh till it hurt.

Another mark of a good weekend.

A Good Weekend.
Also known as a fantastic end to an Incredible Week.

I guess that makes these the marks of a great week.
