And not just any Friday, but a bingo free Friday. Which meant that, after the morning workout, I did not have to rush back to the complex, waste three hours on bingo.
Instead, I stopped by the market for supplies, returned, locked myself inside, did as I pleased the remainder of the day.
It was difficult to decide what to wear to the morning workout, because it was raining when I awoke.
Thinking long sleeve top, boots, rain jacket, umbrella, I was thrown off when rain stopped and the sun came out.
Just when I pivoted to regular wear, the sun went away and the rain started again.
From there it was rain then sun shining — vacillating off/on minute by minute, and even rain with the sun shining at the same time.
It was wild.
Then came a downpour, followed shortly by the sun shining, outside quickly drying up.
I took it all to mean the Heavens are just as upset, disturbed, pissed off as we are about what’s going on down here.
When all was said and done, I stepped out in boots, a warm hoodie, carried an umbrella and, of course the weather changed. I needed none of that and was burning up in that warm hoodie by the time I walked into the Pain Cave.
Trainer’s class of fighters-in-training were ending their session as I entered and, as usual, I greeted all with "Namaste!". Which, in my world translates to "The Christ in me salutes the Christ in You" and then I added "TGIF".
Trainer looked amused, said "They don’t know what TGIF means".
"Really? They don’t?", asked I.
Trainer took a poll, and many did not know what TGIF stood for.
They’re all young teens and 20 somethings, which may be why. But still, I’m flabbergasted, because TGIF is a universal thing.
So, anyway, it’s been a nice leisurely afternoon of crafting — trying to catch up on photos that need to be added to the Creative Memory book.
This one page I completed today is likely to get me in trouble with the family, as the Playdate Summer of Science photos led me to build a design around them that’s based on an Emmy Award winning TV series.
I tried to go in a less controversial, more kid-friendly direction, but the photos kept leading me to be designed thusly.
I myself am pleased with the layout, it makes me giggle, and though family might not find the layout amusing, it will probably fly over the heads of future generations .... be puzzling, just like TGIF is to this generation.
So it is what it is.
Which of you get it? Know the Emmy Award winning show that inspired me to go in this direction?
