Happy Friday everyone! I am glad this one has rolled around, as I feel as if this week has been a bit of a whirlwind. Here's to a calm Friday and a great weekend to boot!
The high of my week was installing a ceiling fan in my bedroom without electrocuting myself! I pretty much did it by myself with the help of a friend for the "brawn" portion of the task. I could not have held it up and installed it at the same time.
The low of my week was when tub decided to not drain. This has not been fixed yet and taking a shower has become of the ship variety (as short as possible!) as I try to avoid flooding the bathroom.
The past week's workouts consisted of two rainy 12 mile runs in the Marin headlands, one great long run in Point Reyes and a wet and wild and dark street run last night at the last minute (one that I wanted to flake out on). All my runs last week were with someone else, which is a new thing for me, and is one that is keeping me honest!
This week I am reading A Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin. It satisfies my "collection of essays" category for the Read Harder challenge. I am not a huge fan of short stories and/or essay collections, but it is entertaining. However, I am getting through it a lot slower than I normally do.
This week I am listening to this Freakonomics podcast about what it would be like if restaurants went to the "no tipping" policy. They have actually implemented this in some San Francisco restaurants already.
The best money I spent was on a beer and a meal out on Tuesday night. If you have never tried this beer, you should, and if you are ever in Santa Rosa, you should check out the brewery too! They make excellent IPAs and sours!
Plans for the weekend include fixing my tub draining issue, working in the backyard to get everything ready for planting, spending time with my family (I have dragged them into the yard work duties), running and probably making a nice meal to celebrate the fact that the tub has been fixed (biggggg fingers crossed here).
How do you feel about the No Tipping policy? What are your weekend plans? What was the high of your week?

I haven't listened to that podcast yet but will soon. I worked as a server so it will be interesting to listen to it. I do feel like we should tip for performance instead of tipping the standard 15-20% because otherwise the not-so-good servers won't get weeded out.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend plans are to host Nora this weekend and show her around + have some downtime for us. The high of my week was going to my first 2 ESL training classes. It makes me excited to get into a classroom and volunteer!
Wow that's impressive you installed the ceiling fan yourself - well done!! This weekend I had a wine night with coworkers, helped Eric bbq a feast for my mom and grandma, read my book, did laundry and did some work... which actually wasn't so bad when doing it from my kitchen table with a glass of wine in hand!
