I made it through the night, got a lot of sleep, and I'm alright. I'm just going to let the whole thing from yesterday go for now, as hard as that may be... I'm going to be OK.

I rode my bike for 2 hours today and don't even feel that tired. I do not regret taking a day off of work at all. Google maps says 31km, probably a bit more since there were a lot of detours since The City is still repairing the river's banks after the huge flood this summer past. Path for anybody interested: http://goo.gl/maps/eKKuN
I didn't even realize that the path I took back is right along the zoo. Saw quite a few gigantic Wood Bison, just layin down and not having a care in the world. Bunch of turkeys too but they're boring. There was a lone female caribou as well.
One of my detours involved a metric fuckton of mud and puddles.
^ Great pictures, Gunny!
Hrmm well I worked out this morning and my leg appears to be fine. So far so good. Not getting my hopes up (okay maybe a little) but this is great since I was expecting a much different outcome.
Sooo good to be home after spending the whole weekend with my drunk coworkers, listening to awful Brazilian music I mean, there were fun moments when I laughed my [BEEP] off but most of the time I was thinking 'WTF am I doing here?' ! Most people's idea of fun is completely different from mine. I don't think that staying in the pool all day long like a fucking fish is fun. I'd rather play games instead - volleyball, beach tennis? So much better than staying in the water until my skin falls off. And I don't understand how people can drink beer non stop the whole weekend.
Also, maybe I'm spoiled cause I have my own comfortable space in my parents' house, but I hate , HATE having to share a bathroom with other people
Anyway, getting home today was the best part of my weekend !
Oh god during college I had to share a room with many other people and every single time it went horribly bad . Thankfully I convinced my parents that I needed my own room when they realized that me and every other room mate I had ended up hating each other lol. I am NEVER doing the room mate thing ever again.
Wine.
Not the best wine, but it'll do.
I've managed to restrain myself from flipping out on my roommate for being a fucking SLOB. I get it, you want to spend time with your girlfriend while she's here, (every fucking weekend) but spend the hour to clean up the pool of bacon grease and mountains of dishes before you bring her home to another fucking town and stop me from being able to cook dinner.
At least I got the kitchen spotless and made some chili.
Coupla things I ordered a while back came in the mail . One more to go.
It happened yesterday.
I found right around the block from my house a farmer's market!!! Now I can get my fruits and vegies fresh again! And the best part?? It's also a plant nursery with the most awesome flowers and garden stuff. And the bestest of the bestest part?? They sell live crawfish!!! I've died and gone to heaven.
The Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about
Today one of my colleagues shared a FB post about two dogs that were rescued yesterday and are in pretty bad shape. One of them was hit by a car and has a hip fracture and the other one has a horrible skin condition and has signs of abuse all over his body too. I couldn't stop thinking about them all day so tonight I contacted the people who rescued them and said I wanna make a donation to help with their treatment, so we arranged to meet up tomorrow morning before I go to work, so I can give them the money. They've created a FB group to find more people to help financially and I saw that a few people have already donated so that's great. I hope both dogs will have a quick recovery and that someone with a good heart will adopt them!
Edit: I just realized that I posted this in the wrong thread. The only good part of this story is that some people are helping with donations, but the whole thing is tragic, and just thinking that there are so many dogs and cats out in the streets starving and suffering all kinds of abuse makes me not want to live in this horrible world anymore.
