I think that for the first time since Nate left, I can actually say I am sad the weekend is over! Since May there really hasn't been much difference between weekdays and and weekends for me. This weekend changed that!
Saturday night I went to a game party. I actually found a group on Meetup.com (yes, I need help making friends) that is a "board" game group. The founder of the group hosted the affair, and there were 12 of us who showed up. We had some good food, a few drinks, and played Taboo, Things, and Telestrations. All of which were very fun! I didn't get home until after midnight... what a rarity! I was definitely the youngest person there- I'd say the average age was 40-something, but it was really fun to socialize and meet new people. There was even a couple there that I really liked, and would consider hanging out with again, especially when Nate get home.
Yesterday I went to the beach with Kayla, and we met up with her friend Eleanor and Eleanor's man-friend Zach. After, Kayla and I went to the Yardhouse for a drink (I had Chimay, yum!), then we met back up with El and Zach at Duke's Barefoot Bar. Which is where the shenanigans ensued! On Sundays they have live music and a bunch of older local people and tourists come to dance. The 4 of us had plenty of drinks and even ended up on the dance floor boogying with the elders. I've gotta say... those old people had some sweet moves! After Duke's Kayla and I grabbed a burger and frozen yogurt, and just hung out for a while, then I went home. Another late night (well, for me)...I think I got home at 10:30.
Today is back to the real world. I began pursuing this job last Wednesday. It is working for Nurse Finders as a nurse for medically fragile children. Basically it sounds like I will be going to schools and caring for chronic kids. I am going to start out part-time, and they said they are really flexible, so I can still take off time whenever I have visitors (hint hint). Orientation starts Wednesday, and I am really excited! I hope I like it!
And last, but not least, this is a weird week for me. Nate is in Ethiopia for the week covering some story about the widespread issues of Malaria. They are in some super remote town that there aren't even roads to. I guess the drivers just drive in the general direction of town and make their own paths. Weird. Needless to say, he does not have internet or a phone out there, so I don't get to talk to him until he gets to the capital city, Addis Ababa at the end of the week. It stinks not being able to talk to my hubby, especially with all of these exciting things to report! But of course, I'll live, and when we talk on Friday (or whenever it turns out to be), it will be that much sweeter! Also, I am pretty sure that in late September I am going to get to meet Nate in Egypt for a few days! Exciting!
