Need a vacation from my weekend

Whew, weekends

Seems like since Mar doesn’t work on the weekends anymore, we pack in so much crap that we don’t have any time to relax and rejuvenate before the work week starts again

I volunteer up in Golden Gate Park at the National AIDS Memorial Grove every month.  The workdays are the 3rd Saturday of the month.  The people that I have met in the year or so that I have been going to work there have become life long friends

So of course, I was up in the SF Nursery, which is probably the best gig during the work days.  It’s a ton of work, but knowing that it’s the nursery that provides plants to not just GG Park, but the airport, all the parks in SF and City Hall, as well as the Grove, it makes the work all the more fulfilling.

This time, we had to remove mugwort from the ground under this tree farm and gather it up and put it in the cart to be removed to the compost/trash pile.

So freaking hot in the sun on Saturday!  Sure it was in the 80’s, but in the sun, while bending over scraping up plant life?  Insane….so we put on the overhead sprinklers and got soaked, then turned it off, dried off in the sun, got hot again, sprinkler, etc

The city was crawling with people as most people aren’t out due to some sort of weather.  It was refreshing to see all the city folk out and about

Headed home as Mar was getting her hair done, then she was off to a party.  I had so many choices of going out but just stayed home, went to bed early.  I know, should have gone to a drag queen show, but I was tired, sunburned and sore

Sunday was just a whirlwind of activity, checking out some art festival, cupcake place and drove all over green acres getting stuff

Mar needed to do menus, so she was holed up in her room for hours.  I had a nice relaxing afternoon, watching TV and playing with the dogs

Mar noticed that there is something going on in every city that we went to and we are going to try to get out more on the weekends.  True, we were going to go hiking every weekend or once or twice a month and that didn’t pan out LOL

If it involves food though, we’re all over that, go figure
