Finally it's Saturday

We are so happy it's the weekend. It's been an exhausting week.
Unfortunately Mark has to travel to Oklahoma for work tomorrow and will be gone for 2 days, so I have to figure out what to do with myself during that time. Already reserved a ticket to go to an Austrian classical concert. Not very exciting for most people but sometimes it's nice to just listen and relax.
Yesterday we went to a bar a few blocks away from our house and ran into an old school buddy of Mark's. They hadn't seen each other in over 15 years and weirdly met up here. The guy invited us to go to a club where Q Tip was dj-ing. Every time Mark runs into a buddy here, we get VIP treatment, I swear. Got to the club, the line at the door was ridiculous and we went straight in since his friend knew whomever. Danced all night in our non-club gear since we still just have our suitcase clothes (thermals and running shoes) and had a blast. On the way home, stopped and had the obligatory slice of pizza and finally made it home at 4am. No wonder I slept half the day away today.
The rain also brings out perpetual laziness. Today it rained like it never does in San Diego. It rained all day and I mean all day. Went grocery shopping and it's quite different than loading up your car after going to the store. The Trader Joes' line wraps around the store twice so it takes at least an hour just to shop there and then you have to carry home whatever you bought while holding your umbrella, so you never load up more than what you can carry. That means we have enough food for about two days. After that, it's back to the store. Definitely learned to be more economical while shopping, more out of sheer necessity than will power.
