Hey all! So our contacts
are a little worried about us working out in these weather conditions. If you're living in the Midwest you most
likely know what I am talking about, but for those of you that don't we've been
facing subzero temperatures (with windchill), a decent amount of snow, and a
fine layer of crystalline ice. As we are
focusing on nature conservation at the moment, this weather severely limits
what we can do safely. While we are all
about nature and its preservation we put our own well-being first and, as such,
our schedules are a bit... chaotic this week.
I am part of team silver until this up and coming Monday when I will be
driving out to Eminence, Missouri, to pick up some folks and head over to Peck
Ranch to complete a rather unique 10 day.
In the interim, I will be helping out in the Warming Shelter. Either my fellow ERT members read my blog or
the Fellows knew I was looking to serve in one of the permanent slots for the
Shelter. Either way, this is a blessing
as I feel these next couple of days will be more mentally challenging than
physical, which means my wrist will be given a little extra time to mend.
Not exactly service work, but we did go to a Blues game last
night. The groups that are still in St.
Louis got half of Monday off and all of Tuesday in preparation for our 10 days,
so we spent it exploring what the city had to offer. I was shocked that I got a ticket for the
game for under $20.00 because the Blues are one of the better teams this
year. Anyways, that was a ton of
fun. We ended up losing in a shootout...
which is all too familiar for me as a Red Wings fan.
This brings me to a regrettable discovery. I believe I have become a jinx. Up until this hockey game I had a perfect
streak going-- every game I went to my team won. This time though, no dice. Same thing kind of happened to my Spartans in
basketball. The last two times I was
able to actually watch them, they lost.
I need to find a way to bring back my good fortune! I have no idea where to start though. Any suggestions?
Well that's all
for now! Later all!
