10/16/2015

Monday I quit my job! No more Croydon! No more not getting paid and no more 1.5 hours of commuting! Monday night we were planning on cleaning but Damien's mum came over for dinner so they talked while I organised all of our gear from the trip and wash the tent. I felt productive. So it was a good night for all. 
Tuesday was uneventful. I don't even remember what I did after work :(
Wednesday I went to the doctor they told be that I had kidney stones and sent me home. I got pizza for dinner and then broke my phone. Bummer!
Thursday I had a dinner meeting on the other side of the city. I left work at 3 to get to the 4:30 meeting. I was low on gas so I stopped to fill up. After putting $30 worth of gas in my car I realised that I didn't have my wallet. Oops. Luckily all I needed to do was give them a credit card number. Anyone's credit card number. 10 minutes and a few phone calls later I was back on my way. The few minutes it took me to get gas put my arrival time from4:20 to 5:15 so I got to sit in traffic for a while. But I did get to miss the boring part of the meeting while enjoying all of the food :) 
Friday was my friend's last day working with me in the nursing home. To celebrate we went out for waffles at a place called Waffee. We split 6 waffles. They were delicious. The coffee was questionable.

Friday was also date night. I got home from work, changed and met Damien in the city. I was all nicely dressed up and Damien wore his Friday casuals. What a bum. We went to a fancy place called cumulus-like the cloud. The restaurant was posh but not nearly as cute as you are picturing. We had a delicious dinner of lamb, carrots, asparagus, and cauliflower. With cheese for dessert. 
I got a glass of wine poured from a massive bottle. 
Saturday we went shopping. Well first we went out to brunch at beatrix. Beatrix is a great bakery that also serves 2 sandwiches per day. If you want to find out what they are you either have to go there or look on face book. They were amazing. We also got a bit of raspberry walnut cake.
Next to Beatrix there was a pop-up sale where someone was just selling things in the median. 
I got a pair of shoes, a shirt and an apron for $3. 
I needed a new watch so we strolled and shopped our way around the city. We went to wunderkarma, a history of photography museum and my favourite jewellery store before getting lost in board games. 
We got a new powergrid board, the Halloween pieces for ticket to ride, and a new game called pandemic. Pandemic is a board game that is the opposite of plague. In the game there are 4 diseases threatening humanity and you have to work collaboratively with the other players to cure the diseases. It is an all win or all lose game. After purchasing the games we went to Dan's house and spent the rest of the day playing pandemic and carcassone. 
Sunday started with a bit of housework and got to the market around 12pm. By that point almost all the vendors were sold out but I did manage to get some new plant. In the afternoon we went for a run it was supposed to be 15km, half way through Damo talked me into doing 21km but at 11km I suddenly felt terrible and we walked back to the car. It was ok because it was a beautiful walk. 
That's the week.
