Weekend overload

Tim and I have been kept pretty busy lately.  There are still pieces of snowmen from last Sunday around.  This week has been the first day it's gotten above freezing during the day.

Tim and I went to the Bop last Friday and it was very eventful.  At one point we got three patients who all came in within a minute of each other.  That kept us busy until the fire alarm went off and everyone except LINKS had to evacuate.  So we had many half naked drunk people outside throwing snowballs at each other.  But no need to send anyone to hospital thank goodness.  The next morning we had to wake up early (after sleeping at Collin's) to get back home, drop off Yasmin, sleeping bag, etc, and go to a football duty.  Once we got there we found out it was cancelled and I should have checked my email in the short time we were home.  Yasmin was glad we were home early, though.

After a nap we went to watch The Muppets with Liam.  It was cute.  On Sunday Tim went to assess for SJA and I met up with Rachel Bales at Earl's Court for the Doctor Who Exhibition.  It was pretty awesome!  We went on a 25 minute mission to help Doctor who including entering the TARDIS where the floor shook, being captured by daleks making the small children cry, with Matt Smith guiding us the whole way with multiple jokes.

Afterward I had to drop some first aid training equipment off at SJA HQ where an induction was going on and Tim was assessing.  So I got to meet a lot of the new members and go to the pub to chat and stuff.

I'm off work this week, which is pretty sweet.  The boys have a week off school and the mom needed to take vacation time before it expired.  Fine by me, though.  Means I can sleep in, focus my time primarily on LINKS for a week, and get things done around the house.

There's a new Mexican restaurant in Bromley that we're planning to try out for Valentine's Day tonight.  It turns out Yasmin likes Red Bush tea also.  She's been getting loads of attention between LINKS meeting, sleeping at Collin's on Friday, and the induction course.  She even got in a game of "find the keys" with Tim today.  It's good practice for when Tim actually does lose his keys, but Yaz likes the challenge and attention.

Last time I talked to Emily we were talking about her awesome new kindle and she mentioned "The Hunger Games" trilogy to me.  I was almost done with my latest Barbara Kingsolver book (very inspiring) and decided to download a sample to my kindle.  I bought the whole trilogy for only 16 dollars and am currently on the 3rd book.  It's a very exciting series.
