wow, what a weekend.
i have so much to say today!
i'll start with what i've done, since that's the easy part.
friday night we got some bad news about t.'s papa... he's been having some really scary health problems and t. had to fly home right away to help his family out. his mom also sounds like she's really unhappy in general and just dissatisfied with life. i'm heartbroken over this as i really do love his parents. they're both such interesting, intelligent people. i'm really lucky to have been able to spend so much time with them. i also feel badly for t. as he is so sensitive and is having a hard time dealing with all of this. it is hard for him to be there for them when he's so stressed.
so, on friday i pretty much just helped t. get his stuff together and get outta town. i was in bed early in preparation for...
the vancouver yogathon! it's a yearly (outdoor!) event for kids with hiv/aids, it raises money for them to attend a summer camp called camp moomba. it was hilarious. i went with a coworker, and we flailed our way through most of it, but sort of wimped out near the end. it was so hot and i just felt that my body had kind of had enough. i didn't feel too badly since we signed up too late to really collect pledges anyway, but we'd made a donation when we entered.
i was feeling kind of sick after the yogathon, so was planning to have a bit of a rest but i suck at resting so i went for a run instead. uh... they're kind of the same, right? no, it was a bad idea. i felt sicker than before so had a swim to cool down to get ready for the richmond night market!
it. is. AWESOME.
there is tons of great asian junk food, takoyaki, bubble tea, noodles, MINI DONUTS (k, those aren't so asian, but they're sure delicious!). i indulged but definitely regretted it! i tried to keep my samplings small but i have not really eaten junk for a long time now, so my body was unnnnhappy. so much refined sugar all at once. my eyes were like saucers. i also bought some really cute socks! i was worried that they would not fit but they're actually pretty perfect. there was so much more i could have bought, but i was tired and out of cash! so we headed home at around 11:30.
but oh, richmond night market. i'll be back again soon, just you wait.
this morning i was up early (as usual) so i decided to head out to the kitsilano farmers market (eff yeah eat local!) and picked up some produce and stuff for the week. i was a little greedy i think, because i'm not really going to be in town past wednesday. so, i've got a LOT of veggie eating to do in 3.5 days. i made a huuuuuuuuge bunch of lemony chickpea stir-fry... it was my first time with this recipe and i didn't really... pay attention to the amounts, i just kind of hucked everything together. and um. it made a LOT. which was good because i added some extra veggies to it so it helped me use some stuff up, but. i hope it freezes well? haha. i also added some stone ground mustard right at the end, and i really like the flavour it added. i'll definitely make this again.
and so now i'm just sort of sitting around. waiting for c. to call so that we can go out for a glass of wine on a patio somewhere. i haven't really seen her for a couple of weeks so i'm looking forward to catching up. it will be a nice way to head into the week.
well... i had so much 'feeling' type stuff that i wanted to write about today... but this post is already so long and i should probably be getting ready to go out. i think i'll come back for that tomorrow.
