Happy Monday!
At work today Eide, Sarah, and I were on duty. Since the two
of them are not big fans of parking lot duty, I was out there from 11:30 to
2:00 doing my best to keep the peace out there. No fights broke out or cars
crashed, so I’ll call it a win.
I didn’t make it back to the kitchen in time to get a full
lunch, so by 4:30 I was awfully hungry. I grabbed a popover for a mid-afternoon
snack. I’m beginning to feel less and less attracted to popovers. I’m guessing
that’s probably because in the last seven days I’ve had about 10 of them. I may
have to take some time off from popovers or else my feelings toward them will
really go south.
After work I decided I should check out the Asticou and
Jordan Pond Path to see how the construction was going. A month ago the park
service had quite a bit of the trail torn up for rehabilitation. Today, quite a
bit less of it was still torn up. They’re doing a very thorough and
high-quality job with the trail. I can’t think of any other place where more
money is invested into the trails.
My run/hike went fairly well, especially after I stopped
worrying about staying out of the mud and just went for it. I came back looking
like I had just ran the course at Wyocena (high school cross country) after an
autumn Wisconsin rain turns the dirt into soup. I did not feel, however, like I
was back in my peak running performance days of high school. I’ll have to give
that a little more time.
This evening I tried to do my laundry but found all the
washers full. My running clothes are becoming unbearably smelly after not
completely drying out after rainy runs the past five days or so. Fortunately, a
package from Mom arrived today with Oreos, dryer sheets, and an air freshener.
I put the freshener on top of the dirty clothes basket, so for the next 12
hours the stinky and good smells will just have to battle each other. Thanks
for the perfectly timed package, Mom!
Today’s picture of the day is from Sunday when I bravely picked up a scary crab from the tide pool. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of the summer. I could've been pinched or something, after all.
