Making It Up As I Go Along #329

Just a weekly portion right now cause we’ve been busy in Newfoundland and about to depart on a week long trip across province. Likely no internet on this trip so I only have time to send this portion off now and will get a story done later on.

MONDAY...
— In early for work today due to softball this evening.
— Softball is awful. We lose 25-1. I give up 7 runs in the first two innings pitching, then pitch two scoreless innings before coming out... after that the floodgates open (although that’s not the other pitcher’s fault). At least my hamstring works out fine.
— Pub after the game is okay, but after a loss like that, I’m not in a party mood.
— Watch Dan in Real Life after I get home. It’s pretty good.

TUESDAY...
— Physio before work... the shoulder is getting stronger... we are done even dealing with the hamstring.
— Megan is in working overtime tonight. It’s the first time we’ve worked together in a couple of years... a fun change of pace.
— Get home in time to watch the end of the baseball all-star game. Baseball has the best all-star games of all the sports... by far.

WEDNESDAY...
— Long day at work. I go in for 12:45... to go to a meeting. I stay until 10:45 at night. Tomorrow will be an easier day. 10 to 4 and then off to the airport.
— Pack for the trip after work.

THURSDAY...
— Not a real productive day at work. It’s shorter than most days, thanks to my 10 hour day on Wednesday, and I’m getting into vacation mode.
— Melissa gives me a ride to the airport after work and I catch a 6:30 flight without a hitch. I’m in through security and eating a sandwich at Tim Horton’s before my flight probably 15 minutes after saying goodbye to Melissa.
— Flight’s fine. I watch City Slickers... missing the last five minutes due to our arrival.
— The whole crew are at the airport to meet me... and an RCMP drug dog too. Don’t see that in St. John’s too often.

FRIDAY...
— Out to Tor’s Cove in the afternoon. Seven of us out on the beach in the fog. But it’s warm and the fog is a sort of bright, dry fog that makes things fade in and out of focus around us... it’s pretty nice.
— Supper home and a visit from the Riggs’s in the evening.

SATURDAY...
— Cape Spear with Edena and family, and Wayne and Sylvia. See whales out there and have a little lunch. From there it’s straight to Jim’s for the evening. Salmon for supper, time with the boys, and some chat time with Jim. Good to see Stann and Christina while there too.

Hope you are enjoying the trip home. Look forward to any new pics.

25-1 - ouch! Just got to forget about those (although I guess me making a comment on it doesn't help!)
