Summer Scrapbok Saturday #8

Apologies for a day late post. Yesterday was crazy, and I was running around all day. You'll hear about it next week. I started work this past week, and I am just feeling tired. I'm doing early mornings (early by my definition), and I have a split shift, and I'm still trying to get out and do things, so my body needs a sleep break.

1. There have been so many festivities surrounding my sister's graduation. This is the last one, I swear! Last Saturday, we had a tea party and gave her the presents. She's going into kinesiology this coming fall, and a friend of mine suggested that I buy her a textbook or a book about bones for her. It was great idea, and she absolutely loved it!

2. Sunday night was my Aunt's last night with us. We decided to have a movie night, so we set up downstairs with chips and popcorn and Root Beer. We watched Julie and Julia which is an awesome feel good movie.

3. I started work on Monday. I had to do some preparation for the water aerobics class I teach. So far so good. I'm not into exercising AT ALL, but I am now being forced to do it. I have a short bike ride to work, and I've been biking it twice a day. I'm already feeling stronger.

4. This is my friend Deanna. We eat together, and I love her dearly. We got together for a bit because she left for a month. I'm incredibly sad, but she is doing an exchange and will have an amazing time! And, as she pointed out, I'm leaving for longer.

5. Tuesday night, I went to Sarah's to hang out. Then another friend called to see if I wanted to get coffee. He got to meet Sarah, and I had a great coffee drink.

6. Wednesday was Canada Day. I had plans to go downtown and watch fireworks, but my friend cancelled on me. My mom made a great meals complete with cake and strawberries! It was delicious!

7. I also had plans on Thursday that were cancelled. Instead, I decided to hang out and do a face mask. It ended up being the most relaxing night for me.

8. Friday was a staff party. It was supposed to be a large party, but it ended up being a chill night with the bunch of us drinking on the porch. It was a great night to relax and hang out with my staff members.

I'm not too sure what is in store for this coming week. My goal is to hang out with some friends this week. I'm hoping to be busy. Aaaaaand I really need to clean my room.

Recently Read - October 2020

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an i...

Book Review- A Treatise On Shelling Beans by Wieslaw Mysliwski

So this book took me way too long to read. I read before bed to shut my brain off, but I was so exhausted all summer that I was asleep as soon as I got into bed. It has been a long time, but I finally finished it! I took a good handful of quotes that sparked my thinking, so brace yourself! And if you’re interested in the tradition summer, you can find it here . 1.        When people can be divided by something they always will be (9). Just think-the only thing that really divides us as people are differences. If we see someone who is a fraction of a fraction different than us, our minds consider it division. Why is that? Why must we let things get in the way of relationships?   2.        All the more because if you ask me, these days the soul is a commodity like anything else. You can buy it and sell it, and the prices aren’t high (28) A popular book genre of the modern era is “self-help.” Lumped with that...
