It's 5:10 AM on Saturday, I got up a minute ago to wrap up my diary for Friday, then will kick off my Super Weekend by watching the first televised BPL match. It's not raining at least, and the sky looks dark blue now.
I had planned to go to work at 5:00 AM on Friday but couldn't do it until 5:50 AM because getting up late. Traffic was pretty smooth, which helped me arrive at the parking lot before 6:30 AM. My targeted arrival time was 6:00 AM, so it's not too late.
It's supposed a busy Friday, I wrapped up the preparation for Month End Close, went to the building where my team resides. Do you remember I switched the job with my backup after coming back from vacation in Scandinavia in last July before he retired in December? Yes, I worked in that building for almost half a year before I came back to my current job. Having a one-on-one with my manager, I attended the staff meeting we hadn't had for several weeks due to everybody's busy schedule. It's great to eat a lot of fresh fruits and a cup of Greek yogurt our manager brought to the meeting to celebrate one of our co-workers' fifth year anniversary. I had known five years service being a milestone but never learned the term of "After five years, you can't go back". It makes sense because it is true almost all of us to live with the company until retiring after this milestone.
Eating the fruits, in addition to donut earlier in my working office one folk brought in, I don't know how much sugar I had taken in. Let me test it now...
142, it is not bad. Of course, I didn't eat much lunch and had a healthy dinner later of the day. I am trying to eat healthy, but I can't refuse the temptation of sugar sometimes because it was my most favorite flavor in my childhood.
Finishing other stuff in the afternoon, I went to the parking lot to witness the sunshine. Heavy clouds still scattered in the sky, but the sun rays were penetrating all of them gradually. Seattleites were all shooting for a beautiful weekend to go to Sounders' match or Mariners' game, hike in the mountains, grill the meats and fishes in their backyards.
Hesitating for while, I decided to go to gym to work out before it was to close at 9:00 PM on Friday. I didn't go on Thursday night, so must do it on Friday. After an hour intensive exercise, I stopped by Fred Meyer to pick up Italian sausage, German beer and American sour cream. I was ready to grill fish and meat, bake the potato and drink wine in our backyard. Beers would be left for watching matches and games. Oh, my Dad asked me to bake sweet potato for him.
Reading several tweets, I just realized it being NFL Draft week. I was too tired on Thursday to pay attention to it. Anyway, it's soccer season and I will leave my enthusiasm on American football for the coming fall. By the way, I also just learned Rams eventually relocated back to Los Angeles and to play at Memorial Coliseum, so Seattle will have an even more significant rival in LA than Galaxy.
Before falling into sleep, I caught the last moment of Mariners' winning over Royals. It's an amazing catch before the outfielder hit the wall badly. I heard 38,000 fans gathering at Safeco Field, is it correct? I hope both Sounders and Mariners' fans showing the enthusiasm for their teams. Seattle is a big sports city, and we don't have top level professional basketball and hockey teams. Soccer and baseball don't need to compete for the fans.
Now, the day becomes bright and sky is made light blue. It will be a nice Saturday.
