I'm drinking a gin and tonic and enjoying the sun in my sunroom in Uptown of Minneapolis, MN. I went to yoga today and bummed around that lake as I had the week off of work. This morning started at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville where I fed and cleaned the cages of about 20 squirrels. I have to get my wildlife fix in some how as it's looking like coons aren't on the agenda this summer unfortunately. If I had my rabies shot I would be able to work with them at this organization, but I don't have a spare $600 laying around to get it. So I'm feeding and catching squirrels as they escape. It's quite fun I must say!
I start my new nanny job on Monday with a 1-yr old boy named Hayden. Should be another good learning experience. I finished nannying for a family last week that I had been with since October. It's hard not to see Carmen (3) and Natalia (5) everyday anymore, but I will forever be connected with their family and I am ever grateful for that.
Next weekend one of my best friend's is getting married and I will be a bridesmaid for the first time! I am so excited as another best friend came back from France to be in in too. Lots of girl time is coming up and I can never get enough of that.
My sister has been living with me since the middle of April and I must say that is going swimmingly! I come home almost every night to a new home-cooked meal and it makes me feel quite spoiled :) I won't complain however. It's great to get to re-know each other and spend some good quality time talking, laughing, and doing nothing together. It's all good.
John is in Sussex, UK and has been since the beginning of April. He'll be gone another 40 days to be exact and I'm already getting antsy!! Hopefully not many more of these months apart will be in our future.
I have been enjoying corepower yoga for the past three months and have especially enjoying the change in my mind and body as I make sure to go enough to get my $$$ worth. I will be starting training for the minneapolis marathon on June 13th and will train for four months for that on October 3rd. Eeeks. I'm quite excited to knock this off my list of things to do before turning 25. Since I'm in the 25th year of life right now I figure I still made my goal :)
I have been fostering a cat for an organization called Pet Haven that rescues and re-homes dogs and cats. She's quite entertaining to have around and likes to play a rousing game of fetch with her mouse. I will be running in the minneapolis 5K9 run with a Pet haven dog and raising money for them. This organization really is the last chance for some animals as they get a lot of their dogs and cats from shelters where they have lived for most of their life and are on top to be euthanized.
The gin and tonic is making me sleepy and I need to organize my day tomorrow as for the night I will be attending the Minneapolis Institute of Arts night- not quite sure what to expect except to make a t-shirt :) Just like I'm back in 4th grade.
