On Friday, I met up with a friend and some of his friends for dinner. \u00a0They picked me up and while we ran a few errands before dinner, I entertained their 3 year old with some paper folding – a small person, then a horse for him to ride. \u00a0He was impressed and wanted me to fold a hat for the rider. \u00a0 I couldn’t really do a cowboy hat – the closest I got was a sort of\u00a0samurai\u00a0turban.<\/p>\n
Dinner was good and afterwards he asked if “that guy” (since he couldn’t remember my name) could come home with them. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Guess he figured I was entertaining enough that he wanted me to stick around. \u00a0 I promised that we could play with Legos next time I saw him and that was good enough for him.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, I did a ton of yard work. \u00a0Mowed the grass, raked, cut down some vines and did a little weeding. \u00a0That evening, I went to a BBQ. \u00a0The food was good and the company was fun – though I actually got some of my Origami turned down. \u00a0I had made some stuff for the little boy that was there, but when I offered a bird to his sister, she said no and that was it. \u00a0Kinda took me surprise – origami is pretty much universal with kids and senior citizens. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Sunday morning was more yard work, then some errands. \u00a0 I had dinner at Chipotle and took a picture of my\u00a0burrito\u00a0bowl to send to one of my co-workers. \u00a0He texted me back and asked if that was barf. \u00a0 I was a little surprised since he’s a fan of chipotle as well – must not have come through as a good picture since it tasted really good.<\/p>\n
That evening, I helped my friend walk his two small dogs. \u00a0We were making our way down the street when we heard a popping noise and saw a screen fly off the window of the house we were in front of – followed instantly by a very large dog leaping through the window. \u00a0My friend scooped up his dog while the large dog bounded over for what was a very quiet, but very aggressive, inspection. \u00a0Since that small dog was out of reach, he turned to me and I quickly scooped up the dog I was walking. \u00a0There was a moment when we didn’t know what was going to happen, then the door flew open and a very angry woman came storming out after the dog – whose name was, apparently, Rodeo. \u00a0She apologized, then began dragging the dog back in the house without checking to see if we were okay. \u00a0 Once the coast was clear, we walked a bit then set the dogs down and continued on our way.<\/p>\n
I’m planning on leaving work a little early to give blood – been while since I’ve given since the region’s red cross blood services is on strike and they’ve cut way back on the blood drives. \u00a0I’m hoping I don’t have to cross a picket line.<\/p>\n
The boss is out of the office this week, but I’m expecting I’ll still be pretty busy – better get back to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
