bearshortyI finally got on the exercise bike this morning after a few month of not having time. I'm going to try to be more proactive this summer about it.
Yeva went to Sierra Leone this week on a humanitarian mission, which is pretty awesome, if a little nerve wracking for us at home. She is graduating with the Masters in Nursing next week and today she needed to get her cap and gown. Since she is in Africa, she got me a notarized letter so I could go do that for her. I took a couple of buses and a subway and filled out a bunch of forms.
It was such a summer outside. I love it. I finally got to wear my summer shoes and my green khaki pants. On the way back, I tried getting ice-cream at McDonalds, but they were out, so I stopped by at Yogurt City for some expensive frozen yogurt. It was most of my dinner. But totally worth it.
I finished watching Season 5 of "West Wing" today. I like that show but there are times were it gets a bit...not tedious... but I can tell when they are setting up a plot and it is just so put upon. And end and beginning of the season of particular get to be too much. I do like the characters but it will not be a show I will rewatch. I am looking forward to the next two seasons but it is getting tiring for me.
I forgot that today was SYTYCD night and only tuned in for the last hour. At least it is just auditions episode. This show always feels like summer to me and I just love it.
Tonight was also season finale of Grimm. The second half of this season was dragging - it just didn't have the same energy as the first season and a half, mostly because the season long plots were moving so slowly like Juliette finally finding out and Adelide and her child. So the episode cases weren't as good. I do love the characters, especially Rosalie and Monroe, and I'm so glad everyone is on board now and can all work together and that we are done with Juliette plot. I wasn't a fan of the zombie story but I did like the cliffhanger - they put together pieces cleverly. I hope next season will get a better balance of episodic and serial because I want this show to be a must watch again.
