Saturday, the 22nd of July

Another even night without Gideon.  The last few times it was because I worked late.  Tonight it is because his mom is off doing a sewing weekend with friends and he gets to have his dad to himself.  I'm okay with this.  It meant that I took a walk tonight after getting back from work and therefore made my step goal.  The streets were fairly busy tonight, probably because it is Saturday.  There were a few people with dogs out as well.  

A few weeks ago while walking at night I came around a corner and thought there was someone standing there.  It turned out to be a statue.  Ever since then that corner and statue have been kind of weirding me out.  So tonight I took his picture:

With a flash

 Without a flash

Two nights ago I sat down on that bench.  It is getting better, but still kind of a thing I need to work on.  There is a guy that tends to sit on the same wall down the street every night.  Sometimes I see people with him, usually he is alone.  I wonder if he is homeless but haven't the courage to just talk to him.  Sometimes he says hi and I return his greeting.  I generally at least nod his way.

Before work this morning I got to babysit Gideon.  We played Polytopia.  This game that had me so seemingly addicted to it earlier this year?  Well I almost forgot how to play it!  Gideon chose a new tribe to play that didn't exist, as far as I know, a few months ago.  We had to end in the middle to go meet his mom so I could go to work.  It was fun, maybe we will finish it tomorrow.  I won't be downloading it onto my phone again though.  😛

My happy for today is a song that always has me dancing in the aisles when I hear it while working.   I may have shared it in the past.  So turn up your speakers and stand up to dance to Ex's and Oh's!

Peace!
