I got up around 9ish and got my workout gear on. I needed to keep up on my running. I had just started a week before Halloween. I was tired of being tired all the time and I noticed I didn't like the way I looked in my photos or the way I fit into some of my favorite clothes. I picked a great time to run because the rain had died down to a mist instead of a heavy downpour. I got my almost mile and a half in around the neighborhood in the wicked wind. I got back just before the next downpour rolled in.
I started getting Facebook posts and they continued throughout the day.
I started taking my sweaty wet clothes off so I could get into the shower to start our day when all of a sudden the power goes off. "ARE YOU SERIOUS!??" What a way to end my awful 4-day weekend. Who knows how long it would be out. I got pretty upset because I was cold and wanted to be clean. Ben got up and Erika was already up wondering what we were going to do today. Ben was going to make Scooby-Doo waffles, bacon and eggs for breakfast but the power was out. I wiped myself down with a cold washcloth and put clean clothes onto my sweaty body. Ben got up and started putting clothes on when all of the sudden the power went back on. "YES!" I jumped into the shower as fast as I could and Ben went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
After the shower I got ready for my day. I came out and we all ate breakfast at the dining room table. After breakfast Ben gave me my birthday gift. It could have been one of two jerseys, a legit Cougar jersey or a Sydney Crosby jersey. It was a Sydney Crosby jersey and I was very happy to get it but I knew it cost some money and he could have waited because of the financial strain we were going to have soon. I told him I loved it but I've waited since 2009 and I could have waited longer to get one because of our situation.
Erika, Ben and I decided to hit up a few of the Goodwills in the area for fun. We started at Olympia, got onto the freeway and hit up the one in Hawks Prairie and then finished at the one in South Lacey. I did find some good stuff for Christmas. We found this awesome poster at the one in Oly and we were sad to see that it was $10, if it hadn't of been that much we would have taken it home.
We headed home because we had to feed Emmitt and Red was coming over and she didn't want to make them wait. Ben and I headed over to the geocache, Summer Fun #8: Bubbles!!! (GC7AM0R), that was closest to our house. We tried to go find it a few months ago but it was muggled and we patiently waited for the cache owner to replace it. He finally did and I wanted to find it on my birthday. It was pouring down rain and we had to find it fast before we got soaked. Ben found it on the opposite side of the tree. We signed it quickly and put it back.
The soccer field was basically a lake with all the rain that we've had so far today and it had attracted a lot of seagulls and Canadian geese. Ben had his waterproof hikers on so I told him to go chase all the birds.
We came back home, did some chores, started laundry, turned on Monday Night Football and make rice yuck for dinner. The Raiders were playing the Philadelphia Eagles and the Eagles won that game 19-10. It wasn't their best game but it was entertaining nonetheless. We got our work clothes ready for the work week, got cleaned up and went to bed. I read some of my messages people wrote on my wall and thanked everyone for wishing me a happy birthday. Three and four day weekends always go by way too fast.
