Wacky Water Week

Last week was Wacky Water Week. We did clay art, we went to a water park, and we played Reverse Paintball (staff got painted by participants, then had them shoot the paint off with water guns).

For the water park, we went to the Wild Water Works in Hamilton, which had a wave pool. water slides, and a lazy river (floating down a river in an inner tube).

The whole week was pretty awesome!

By some quirk of fate, I wasn't doing either of my other two jobs on Saturday, so I managed to visit my home in Guelph for the first time since Summer Program started. I haven't seen them since convocation started, actually.

But the way time lined up, I had to go to the Greyhound station right after work. And since I hadn't had time to change, I was still wearing my swim suit. The first bus that came was supposed to be going through Guelph, then Toronto, but apparently that day it was a Toronto Express, so all the people with regular Toronto tickets got upgraded while the Guelph people were asked to wait. We were told the Guelph bus would be half an hour late, but by that time, it was already half an hour late. We were told the next bus would be going to Guelph, but it was going to London. And then we had to talk another Toronto Express into taking us. Finally got on a bus an hour and a half past schedule.

My phone hadn't properly charged the night before, so it died while I was lined up. And even though I had brought a cell phone charger, there was no outlet and I couldn't leave because I didn't know when the bus might arrive. So I wasn't able to phone home and tell my mother and brother I would be late.

Night of the blue moon too. Felt powerful that my last day of Day Program would be on a blue moon night.

And yeah, Day Program is over! I'm now doing a prep week, followed by two weeks of overnight camp, followed by an evaluation week, after which the Summer Program is complete! Time is moving forward.

Got a pretty significant crop of string beans recently. Since my first batch of tomato plants didn't work out and I replaced them with a set of partially-grown ones, I've found myself in need of tomato cages when no place sells tomato cages anymore.. They're just falling over each other right now. My flowers are flowering, but sort of weakly.

I brought home some snow peas for my mom to make something with. She made them as a side with ramen.

Got my beer machine on the chilling process. Will get one more crop before I move.
