July 29/Friday was a nice start to the weekend. I worked an hour in the morning to get everyone out the door. Per usual, I went back to sleep once they were gone. I went for a run in the afternoon. It's been nice getting back into the habit of running. It's one of those things that you might dread while you think about doing it, but as soon as it's over, you're glad you forced yourself to do. Ideally, I'd like to get back to the gym as well, but I don't have the money to pay for a membership. HM brought the kids home at their usual time. She needed to mail something, so she sent me to the post office before they closed so she could continue doing some things around the house. She left later to go to dance class, leaving me alone with the kids while we waited for HD to show up. He got home shortly after HM left. I got dinner ready and the four of us all ate together. I helped HD get the kids ready for bed and then I was finished working. I got ready myself and went into town. Adam, Eddie, Basti, Patricia, and some others came into town from Ansbach. It was Eddie's birthday and he wanted to get out of Ansbach for a little while. This weekend was Bardentreffen in Nürnberg. Bardentreffen is, of course, a festival. It dates back to musical street performers from the middle ages and has continued into present day. Street performers were scattered all throughout the city. It was really cool. The atmosphere was electric. We wandered around for a couple of hours and then went to one of Eddie's favorite bars. They all decided to head back to Ansbach on the last train. I had a hour to wait until my next train came, so I went for a drink with Conor. It was nice to catch up with him, and I was glad I was still able to make it in bed at a reasonable time.
Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. I worked four hours in the morning and early afternoon. I took the boy to the park while HP did various things inside and outside of the house. It was, again, a nice day outside. It was sunny, yet not too warm, aka perfect park weather. We stayed for about an hour and a half. We all ate lunch together when the boys and I got back. Since it was so nice out, we ate lunch in the yard. I decided to take a nap while the kids napped. I got up in the late afternoon and went for a run. I was proud of myself for running four times throughout the week. I've been a lot slower than I'd like, but it's been a couple of months since I was running with any consistency, so I shouldn't have expected anything else. I just have to make sure I don't let myself get lazy and stop anytime soon. I skyped with a friend after my run and hung out around the house for the rest of the evening.
Sunday was spent hanging out with Leo. We were pretty lazy, so we just watched movies and hung out. It was cold and rainy, making it the perfect day to lounge around.
It was a relatively relaxed weekend, though I can't say I minded terribly much. It was nice to not do much for a change (and to not spend much money either). I'm always quite broke at the end of the month.
