The past week has been rather relaxed. Working nights takes a toll on my body, but I am managing okay. I am always awake by noon and ready to start the day, which is really not compatible with a 7p-7a three day in a row schedule. Oh well. Next month it is back to day shift, which will be nice.
Yesterday was really pleasant. After sleeping for a couple of hours I managed to get out of bed and drive over to Daly City to get my hair done. Maintaining my blond status means more frequent salon visits, which is okay by me. I go to a Chinese salon, so everyone speaks Mandarin the entire time. I prefer this because I really dislike making small talk during a hair cut. Michael said all of three words to me: Hello. Beautiful. $112.00. It was a peaceful hour quietly vegetating and reading trash magazines. When I got home Aaron was busy brewing up another five gallons of beer. This batch will be called Zuri's Honey Amber Ale. It smelled horrible, so I head out to the park with Zuri for a two hour walk. The weather wasn't perfect, but it was just nice to be outside and enjoy the fresh air.
On our return home Aaron was finishing up making homemade dog treats, and Zuri just about bit his hand off sampling them. She really is a lucky dog. In the evening we head out to meet up with a friend for dinner in the park. On Thursday evenings there is a wonderful variety of food trucks that show up on the edge of Golden Gate Park. It is heavenly, and there are all kinds of interesting foods to try. I chose Vietnamese and got some delicious garlic noodles. On the side I treated myself to sweet potato tater tots with a spicy mango dipping sauce. Aaron found a spicy curry chicken burrito that was excellent, but left him with intense heartburn that lasted well into the night. Jenn had fried macaroni and cheese. We managed to stop by Kezar's before heading home. It was really nice to chat with Jenn and hear about what she has been up to lately. I think we have a running date in the park on Monday.
Aaron works all weekend, but I only work tonight and then have a couple days off. I think Saturday will be for relaxation and quiet time. Sunday should be a good time with brunch in the morning and meeting up with friends in the afternoon.
On a side note, I just finished reading Shanghai Girls and Dreams of Joy by Lisa See. Great books about a wonderful Chinese family and their struggles from the 1930s and into the Mao years. Today I started reading River Town by Peter Hessler. This book is about Hessler's experiences as a Peace Corp volunteer in Fuling China during the 1990s. I guess I am on a Chinese kick, but so is my Mom because she has recommended all of these, and we usually have very similar taste in books. Happy reading...
