Wednesday: misc

This week has been going pretty well. However, I've also been rather tired. I don't think I've quite recovered from last weekend. It was a ton of fun, but I was a little short on sleep. I also had another toe appointment yesterday. I was there for way too long compared to when my appointment was and how long I was with the doctor, but he was apparently really excited about how well my toes are doing. We also went to play mini-golf last night with our Bible Study which was fun.

Today I had some intestine problems all day, which was weird because having such problems usually happens once and then goes away.

Weekend: camping

We went camping this weekend with people from our Bible Study. It was tons of fun! The weather was nice. The first night was a nice campfire and talk. Then we ended up getting up rather early (thanks Aaron) so after a delicious breakfast (thanks Luke) we headed to the beach area.


We played some ultimate frisbee in the sand, built some sand castles, played some volleyball, played some more ultimate, and then people went swimming. On our way home we realized that all of us were very burnt, even though we were only on the beach in the morning.

After lunch we played a frisbee golf course in the woods, which was probably one of my favorite things of the trip. It helped that Luke and I won. After that some people left, so I grabbed a nap. During dinner it started to sprinkle, so when we were done eating we packed everything up and played phase 10. The rain didn't really last long, so we didn't have to worry much about stuff getting too wet.

We played another round of frisbee golf before heading back (Ben and Heidi beat Luke and I by 1 point this time).

Overall, a great weekend.

Tuesday: where's the bathroom?

Monday:

Sometimes I annoy myself. It's the worst.

Sunday: socks

Well, I can tell you that toe socks are no longer a cool item. I am wearing them now because they work well with flip-flops and I don't want to go sockless to work. I scoured the mall today looking for some, and I think I found the only two in the whole place. They were, of course, in the last place I was going to look and I was about to go to plan B.

However, they're rather ugly. Why would I want pom-poms on my socks? Luckily, they'll be easy to take out. They were also about 70% off (probably due to the pom-poms) which was perfect too.

Thursday

Hello again! Not much else is new. It is still somewhat awkward around work, but it really depends on the people too I've found. The last friend that we were waiting to find out about did keep his job, so that is exciting.

It's finally warming up over here, but it still seems to be raining quite a bit.

Tuesday: bittersweet

Layoffs were today. Ben and I still have our jobs (yay). However, a lot of people that we know and one person that we would consider an outside of work friend were laid off. I expect both of us will end up doing a lot of interacting with these people over the next few weeks which could be awkward.

I'm sure in a few days we'll be back to our normal selves, but in the meantime we're a bit bummed. We're still anxiously awaiting news on one more friend too, but he was on vacation so we haven't heard anything.
