So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

I did that once, where I slept in between the space between the walls.
At least you had walls. 😀 What about all these people sleeping across on row of circle cambered chairs? 😀
I don’t know honestly cause I have never been in that situation and I really don’t have a joke for that either. I’ll let someone else take this one on.
I always slept under the desk when doing things with the church groups. it meant I never got stepped on…
“Church groups” reminds me of a time when we did an expedition with out scouting group, and stayed at a vicarage, which turned out to be “double-booked”. We ended up with *lots* of adolescents in one room. (Don’t remember the exact number — something around 15 I guess?) Most of us were sleeping on a row of benches put side to side. I ended up at the edge of the row, and literally had the width of one bench (like 15 inches or so) available to me. I slept reasonably well though, and didn’t fall off…
(Also, it was better than the next year, when it turned out the vicarage wasn’t available at all, and we ended up homeless sleeping on the benches at the train station platforms… We were damn lucky it didn’t rain.)
I vaugely recall a church group thing where was 4 of us in a room with 2 single beds (slightly larger than cots). Sleeping on the floor was likely more comfortable.
