I Woke up This Morning…

…and I neither had myself a gun, nor did I feel like P. Diddy (those of you who listen to a wide variety of music, help out those who don’t).

So, if we thought we failed at orange picking last week… we REALLY failed today. So embarrassing…

I wake up, and I actually get to the Estonian’s place perfectly at 0600, the problem… the lights were off. Oh no! So, I park, I walk up to their apartment, let myself in with my key, and Markus instantly is up and is yelling something in Estonian which I gathered to mean something along the lines of “shit shit guys… we slept to long! Battle Stations! Battle Stations!”

They have their breakfast, and we are ready to go, we get to the field and we were so thankful to see the ground still far too wet for our liking due to the previous night’s rain.

So… we went back to the apartment. We texted our boss on the way back. Once we got there, we all decided, a nap would be a good idea. And so… we napped. Waking up just after noon, only to find a text message that read, “The girls are working today, it’ll dry up”.

FAIL

After that, we watched the United States hockey team beat down the Canuks. Came to the house, “exercised” for awhile and then went to the Pool/Tennis Courts. Goose (Martin) and I went to the pool, while Ice (Markus) and Slider (Richard) went to play tennis. I took 20 seconds off my 450 meter swim and set a time of 11:01 on my 500 yard swim.

In the end… an alright day.

There was however some bad news from home. For those of you whose gift is prayer and/or healing, please keep in mind my friend Ken from my Mother’s Bible study group who had a stroke last night.

Tomorrow, rain or shine, we pick (not really, just shine)!
