Beautiful Days
I can't believe how many beautiful, sunny, and warm days we've had over the past few weekends. Unfortunately, I'd been sick for a couple of them and trying to get over my illness, so I wasn't really able to enjoy them until this weekend. Saturday was near perfect. Sunny and around 70. Our advanced class was taught by Dr. Herbert Wong, my sensei's sensei. Then Don taught his regular Saturday noon class. It was the first time I'd been back at AMAS for a long while since Don's been out because of his hernia surgery and since I got sick. After class, we walked to the post office to get Don's office mail and just as I'd been hoping, the hot dog vendor was out! Yay! We got a yummy dog for lunch and sat on the steps of the post office under the sun. Saturdays don't get much better than that. After that, I just enjoyed the sunshine and warm weather by driving around, running errands.
Sunday was awesome too. It was clear, sunny and even warmer than Saturday. I'd been wanting to get a couple of projects out of the way for a while, but I had to wait till it got warm to do them. I spent the entire afternoon making a third sword rack for the dojo. I was able to cut the wood and stain it right on the driveway, listening to the radio from my car. While I was doing that, our friend Chris from JMAC drove by with his wife...they're looking for a new home and his wife likes the houses in our neighborhood. They stopped to say hello and I told them it would be really nice to have them in our hood.
After that, I worked on organizing the work bench and all my tools. It seems that of Don and me, I seem to always have the most useful tools handy. But we've been using my tools and got too lazy to put them away properly. Plus, the tool box I have is really getting too small. I'd bought a new larger one, but as I said, I wanted to wait till it got warmer to transfer all my tools to it. Sunday was finally the day. I was getting really sick of the mess on that bench! Now, they're all within easy reach, all organized--hopefully, they'll stay that way. I hate for my tools to get unorganized because I hate not being able to find them when I need them.
Anyway, after all that work, Don and I boiled up some King Crab legs that were on sale at Meijer's for $6 a pound (normally $14). We ate on the deck, drank some wine and enjoyed the hot tub for a while. It was a perfect day, by my standards!
And this week is my last week at Quicken Loans. I'm looking forward to having a bit of time off, but not too much! (OMG, it's May already??)
