Long time, no post. I know. And it's not even that nothing exciting has happened! I went on a trip! I just haven't been in a writing mood. Sorry! But here's a recap of basically my last month.
My last post was about the drought. We had a bit of rain since then. Of course it was the day after I caved and washed my car. I should wash my car more often and maybe the drought will go away!
For Easter weekend I went to visit my grandparents in Arizona! I flew out after work on Friday and back to San Francisco again on Sunday evening to be back to work for Monday morning. Let me tell ya, it is easy to get used to retired life even in such a short span of time.
On Saturday of Easter Weekend I went on my very first Jeep adventure! We went out to Harquahala Mountain and drove the off-roading trail to the top of the mountain that used to be a weather station. They still have observation equipment up there but it isn't manned like it used to be. We had lunch at the top as well and watched some rain fall onto a nearby mountain. Here are some shots I snapped on the way down and at the bottom!

On the ride back to the house we of course had to stop and get ourselves ice cream for a job well done. And the scoops at the place we stopped at were out of this world huge. I am not exaggerating when I say the ice cream cone I ate was just a smidge smaller than my face. So good. And we encountered rain on the drive back too! Needed the windshield wipers and everything. The drive from the mountain was almost as adventurous as the trail ride (not really, the trail was way better).
That night we swam in the pool, had steaks for dinner, and made cookies. Like I said before, its pretty easy to get used to the retired life. Sunday was prep for the big Easter dinner! My grandparents hosted about 30 people for Easter dinner, apparently old, retired people don't like to cook or host parties so they gravitate towards those who do. But 30 is about an average gathering for my family so it was really no problem or anything out of the ordinary for my grandparents to handle. While the old, retired people may not like to cook much, all the food they brought was DELISH. Not a bad side dish in the bunch, and so many desserts. It was an insane amount of food. I love food. That night I went back to San Francisco with a full belly and heart full of grandparent love. It was a great weekend and definitely something I needed.
Since then it's kinda been just going to work and going home. I've neglected my laundry for an embarrassingly long amount of time. But now the laundry room closest to my apartment is "being upgraded" and I've had to schlep my dirty clothes across the complex. I've only done two loads but like I said, its been a long time....I still have several more loads to do. This upgrade has taken over a week, still not completed. For my next apartment, in-unit washer/dryer is a must.
Welp, I think that's all the update I really have! Today Calvin is two months old, time flies when you're adorable.
