fuzzyred | Weekly Update

So, I missed last week again, even though I should have had time. It's been a good couple weeks, with a lot of stuff going on. My daily tasks are going well for the most part, though I've had some misses. Gardening and going to the gym are the main trouble spots, while reading and crocheting seem to be doing very well. Everything else is kind of in the middle but hopefully I can make improvements in the coming weeks.

I'm not going to try to keep a time line, but I am going to try to talk about some of the fun things that happened in the last two weeks.

I went rock climbing again at a local gym, which is always fun. Later that day I went to some of the carrousel villages with my friends and boyfriend; we hit three different places and got a lot of good food. We got meat pies and shredded chicken at the Ghana place; Goulash, elephant ears, and chimney cakes at the Jungarian one; and I believe people got fish and chips at the Scottish one. I didn't grab any food myself, though I did join in on the dancing when they opened it up for audience participation. Lots of fun all around. :)

My sister and I took my dad out to lunch for Father's day, which was nice. My dad and I had burgers and a side salad while my sister got some kind of salad bowl thing, all of which was yummy, plus we got some deep fried pickles to share. I haven't seen my dad as much as I should lately, so it was really nice to spend some time with him.

Last Thursday was Responsib'all Day at work, for giving back to the community. Instead of working, we all got a site tour (we have a lot of newer employees who haven't seen all the areas), then we had lunch before working on projects for the community. One involved decorsting rain barrels for the community garden, one was assembling birdhouses, one centered around plarn and sleeping mats for the homeless, and I think there was something about seeds and hydroponic cards. It was a good day, even though it was super hot, and it's always jice to be able to give back to the community. I also played volleyball on Thursday, since the union put in two teams in a local league. Also a lot of fun although we didn't play very well. Mostly, I'm just grateful it had cooled down some by the time we played. I'm looking forward to the next chance I get to go out. I'm enjoying myself more than I thought I would, since sports aren't really my thing. It's just a fun league though, so there's no pressure, which is nice.

Saturday I went to more carrousels, Greek and Serbian this time. The Serbian one had cevap, which are delicious little sausages that I love, and I got honey balls at the Greek one, which are also delicious and wonderful.

Sunday, my sister hosted another Amazing Race challenge which was a lot of fun. We went out in the city to accomplish different tasks, then went to my grandma's after we finished for pizza and swimming.

Monday I had the day off, which felt much needed after all the business of everything. I didn't do much of anything, which was rather nice. I had a chance to read and crochet, and I managed to catch the last game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, though sadly the Oilers didn't win.

My work week so far has been okay, and I have both Monday and Friday off next week, so I'm really looking forward to that. I hope you all have been doing well and staying cool, and I'll see you again soon. :)
