Salmon Run

Today turned into a good day. I say "turned into" because it started really horrible. And it was horrible because I was pretty grumpy and well, I'm not a huge fan of some of the people I work with. Any way, I'm not complaining, although I'm sure it sounds like I am. This morning came way to soon. I probably could have slept for another 4 hours. Of course if I was actually given the chance to sleep for another 4 hours, I probably would have waken up bright eyed and bushy tailed. Thats how life works.

Waking up this morning was difficult but it was accomplished after some whining and some help from Tyler. After a wake up shower, we ate breakfast which was, for me, puffed wheat mixed with cheerios. Tyler had honey nut cheerios. And then it was off to work. The combination of grumpy and incompetent co-workers makes for a bad morning. I think it was mostly the grumpy that did me in. I did get to talk with another co-worker who shares much of the same feelings and that made me feel better.

The day went by pretty quickly, not fast, but quickly. There is a difference, slightly. Soon the day was over and I came home, expecting Tyler to be right behind me. We decided that who ever was home first would make dinner, mainly because neither of us knew what we wanted to eat. I started to boil water, hoping to be inspired by a recipe on the back of the macaroni box. I made mac and cheese from scratch. Pretty much right away I knew it wasn't going to turn out as good as I hoped. I also did the dishes. Once Tyler came home, din din was ready.

We sat down and the mac and cheese was more of a soup then a regular pasta dish. It was pretty funny because I knew Tyler didn't really like it that much. It wasn't that great, but it was edible. I pretended that I thought it wasn't that bad to make Tyler say it was pretty good. It really wasn't that bad, just made incorrectly. Any way, I knew he really didn't like it when he told me that we didn't need to save the leftovers because re-heated pasta is never good. Just his excuse for not wanting to eat it tomorrow.

After din din, we went for a walk because it is finally not raining. HORRAY!! It was kind of cool out, but at least the sun is shining. I found out the community hall is open for sports every night of the week. Tonight was supposed to be badminton and the basket ball. We went a little early because the door was open. No one was in there, so we picked up a basket ball and started to play the game 21. I won the first game and I did pretty good. Tyler picked up his game in round 2 and then went on to win the tie breaker. We continued on our way and as we were walking up the hill, we noticed a flock of eagles around some houses. As we go closer, we saw that the homeowners were throwing chunks of salmon onto their driveway and watching the huge birds swoop down and pick it up. It was so cool. There were so many birds flying and swooping. It was neat to hear their tail feathers hit the ground because they scrape with suck force. We would show you all pictures, but this all happened on the one day we took a walk without our camera. We seriously could have snapped some really neat pictures as we were super close and they were swooping right towards us, wings all spread and stuff. It was pretty cool.

And now we are home. It was a good day after all. We are relaxing and Tyler is eating popcorn. Kitten is sitting watching the boats go by on her table.

The weather today was nice. It was a little cooler then it looked, but at least it wasn't raining. We can see the mountains on the mainland right now.

Not sure what the plans are for the rest of the night, probably more of the same as what we are doing right now. I will likely eat more cheerios because they are just so darn good.

Just a few more days till the weekend!!!
