to the present...
It is safe to say that this update will bring you up to date. I am going to attempt to be better in the future.
August:
The organic boxes of veggies started coming in. Two friends and I are splitting a box of organic vegetables from Angelic Organics that is coming in from a farm not to far out from the city each week. This is a) encouraging me to eat at home more often and b) making me try new recipes. I am not a great cook, but I am not bad. I can only get better by cooking more. At least that is the thought process.
Lisa and I went to Royal Oak to hang with my mom at the Woodward Dream Cruise. We had a fun day of walking up and down Woodward admiring the classic cars.
Then a couple weeks later I was off to Oregon, Il for yet another hundred mile bike ride. Are you sensing a theme to my summer? Sara came down from Ann Arbor, I gave her the quick tour of my neighborhood and then we drove off to Oregon to camp in a city park so that we could be bright-eyed for the ride the next morning. We rode in an organized ride called the Old Mill Century. The weather was sunny and warm but not too hot. The people were friendly. The hills were a challenge. And one of our pit stops was in a nuclear power plant. Overall, I would say it was a great ride and I would recommend to anyone else who is insane enough to ride one hundred miles in one day.
And that was my August. As for my September, well, I have had Strep Throat. So, Friday was my first day of feeling “ok” this month. And that was just OK.
So now for the weekend: just so that I can really say this journal is up to date.
Friday:
I went to one of the gallery showings at the Around the Coyote Arts Fest. Some of the art was good, and there was one interactive installation that took a bit of my time. The artist had gathered many tiny items that may or may not have a name in the first place and created a scientific-like naming system. So, I named a small item. The name ended up being something like this: Durenaterough Browncircewholsed. Or something like that meaning it was round, brown, rough, found in a drawer, but is from nature and is seed-like. Or something similar to that. But while doing this task I was chatting the person next to me who happens to live a block from me, so I think I have met someone new to go have coffee with in the future. From there I joined some friends for a small house party.
Saturday:
I rode my bike 15 miles to Hyde Park for some brunch with one of the cycling clubs I ride with. On the way home my rear wheel went out of sorts and now my commuting bike is at a bike shop. Hurumph.
That night I went to a Tiki Party that one of my co-workers through. I had a wonderfully social evening and like in the Bahamas I drank rum drinks with umbrellas.
Sunday:
Laundry and sleep.
Today:
I am at work.
Huzzah! You are brought up to date.
Later,
Tia
