fuzzyredWell, I am late this week, after missing two weeks entirely. I'm not sure why it's so hard to make my weekly post, but I'm going to try to do better. The last three weeks have been really good, with a decent mix between getting things done and being able to relax and have fun.
The first fun thing I did was go camping at Sauble Falls with my sister, her husband, and a friend. The beach was very pretty and the falls were suoer nice, the wide shallow kind that you can walk through, though it was kind of rainy. We also ended up going up to The Grotto at Tobermory which is a beautiful trail. The grotto itself was wonderful, though we couldn't climb down this time as it was very windy and wavy. All in all, it was a very fun weekend get away even though the weather wasn't the best.
Last week was my summer shutdown at work, which was very nice. I managed to make it a good balance of fun, relaxing, and productive, which is usually hard to manage. I made a nice amount of progress on my crochet project, finished reading a book and visited my grandmother, something I have done as often lately as I should.
To start of my shutdown, my boyfriend went camping at a local "nature retreat" that has camping domes and tents you can stay in. The dome we stayed in was very nice, and the weather was perfect for taking advantage of the pool. It is also located very close to a lot of local wineries, so we did a bunch of tastings on the Sunday and ended up buying a few bottles of wine. We didn't end up making use of the kayaks or bikes available, but being able to have a campfire and some private time was well worth it. :)
Labor Day weekend was nostly uneventful, though I did go indoor bouldering and to a county fair on Saturday. Sunday was lowkey and relaxing, then I walked in the local parade with some of my corkers. That should have been the end of my vacation, but I also took the Tuesday off, because I didn't want to come into work for only one day.
I needed to take Wednesday off because I went to a Green Day concert with my friends. :D It was a really good show, although it was in a baseball stadium, so the sound quality wasn't the best. I had a really great time though and I'm glad I went.
Today I had lunch with my good friend which was lovely as always. This weekend is looking to be fairly quiet, so hopefully I can do some reading, crochet, and yardwork in the next few days.
I hope you all have been doing well and have a great weekend coming up! I'm going to do my best to get back to regular posting, though it has felt rather difficult lately for some reason. See ypu all soon!
