Look at me, I’ve been so social this weekend. I’m proud of me. 🥹

Friday night was book club at the gym to review Saving Noah. I didn’t care for it, but it was insightful hearing what everyone else thought of it, and someone pointed out part of the twist at the end that I didn’t figure out on my own when I read it. So that was interesting!

We’re reading The Let Them Theory for April. Book club switches back and forth between fiction and non-fiction each month. The picks have been super meh thus far, so at morning class another student and I asked our trainer if she could suggest a top-selling non-fiction instead of what we normally do (let everyone suggest a book and read the last one that is drawn). We suggested that book as an option and I am glad that’s what she selected (watch, I will dislike this one too!).

I brought a chickpea salad to book club and it was a huge hit, which made me feel good!

This also made me feel good – afterward when I was getting ready to leave and was chatting with a group of people, someone came up to me and said “Kim! I just learned something about you!” I was like, “ooo, tell me.” And she said “You paint the rocks that are here at the gym?” She was acting like it was some secret I was keeping, and the people in the group were like “you didn’t know?!” It was cute. Then she was very complimentary to me and I gave her one from my stash and encouraged her to take the one that’s been in the gym for ages so I can replace it.

On Saturday morning I volunteered at a food bank. Today is my friend Kris’s birthday and that’s what she wanted to do for her birthday – get a big group together to volunteer.

It was my first time volunteering there and our job was to put 6 single serve cereals in a mesh sleeve, then put 10 of those sleeves in a box, tape it up, and put it on a pallet.

There were 20 in our group, and there was another group there, and together, over 2 hours, we prepped 19,260 servings of cereal to go to food pantries.

I had a lot of fun. It was very fulfilling and satisfying!

Okay, I guess that is where my “socialness” ends. So maybe it wasn’t actually that much! It just felt like a lot because I got home late Friday night, and again last night because Steven and I went out for dinner (flew there then did nighttime takeoffs and landings when we got back – more on that in another post).
