This week was long, or so it felt. I attribute that to being sick most of the week. I had a sinus infection. Felt it start Monday, then it got worse until Friday when I woke up and felt distinctly healthier. I was so thankful because it really made for a great end to the week. No fun working while not feeling well, but not ill enough to stay home and rest up for most of it. Any who, my sinuses are still swollen or something, but the pressure that was there has pretty much ceased.
Friday I got to take my roommates kid to work with me. That was cool, though I suppose I now know what I'd be like if I actually had my own child there, well at least what I'd be like for the first few days. Constantly checking in and saying Hi. The good thing was the boy was having fun and engaging in the activities. He even took a nap (which I helped with when I went on my lunch just cuz I knew some of the other kids in that class were more difficult to put down and I knew the key thing to do to help him fall asleep anyways). So yeah, it was neat having a kid there I really new.
Saturday Steven and I had our house warming party. It was just a fun get together with my family and our friend Ann. Ate yummy food, let them check the place out, and then by the time that was done, we had enough time for some cards. I do wish family was closer, but I suppose that's what Steven and I need to focus on... making new friends and opening our home to new people.
Oh and how could I forget, part of the house warming was celebrating Steven's 26th birthday. His birthday isn't until Tuesday the 30th, but since family and friend was there already, figured it'd be a good time to add his birthday in with the festivities. So we enjoyed a pudding cake with vanilla ice cream. I actually accidentally scorched the top of the cake due to the new oven that I hadn't really used much in the month we've been here. The dial you turn to determine the temperature of the oven is the same dial that turns the oven on. But I didn't realize I had to turn the dial back the opposite direction to turn it off. So when I thought I had turned it to off, it actually stayed on broil! I had decided to leave the cake in the oven while it cooled off so it'd still be nice and warm when we ate it with ice cream. So yeah... 5 minutes later when thankfully I decided to melt the cheese on my burger in the microwave, I noticed smoke coming from the oven and quickly opened it up to find the cake burnt! I pulled it out and looked at the dial and saw it on broil. I thought at first I must have slipped, thinking I had put it on off, but it clicked back to broil when I looked away. And that was when I learned there is only one way to turn the knob to make sure the oven is off.
Like I said, the top was scorched, so my mum carefully peeled the top off and saved the cake ^_^ Wasn't as pretty looking, but oh well. It sure made for a fun story.
About to feed the missionaries! Enjoy your night and have a great week!
