Well, another week has come and gone. I am just trying to stay cool as we continue to get one hundred degree days. I am still working , going to the gym, and of course seeing friends when possible.
August 26th was women's equality day. I am definitely proud of how far we have come .But I still think women have a double edged sword in society. We are told yes we can go out and have careers, even be the CEO of major corporations. But we are still supposed to be the primary care takers at the house. (Ofcourse I realize there are exceptions to this rule. My Uncle Carl was the one who took care of things at home since my Aunt Terry had the better job.) So if we are working, we are not taking care of things at home, and if we are taking care of things at home we are not working . So it is a forever balancing act. It's something we all struggle with. So to fellow women out there, continue being you , and doing what works best for you.
This weekend I ended up catching up with my friend Jenn since she was in town a couple of times. Friday night we went to Osaka for dinner. Saturday night we had a meal at The Cheesecake Factory. It was the first time I went to North Star Mall in months. (When the epidemic started, I had no reason to go there especially since we couldn't for a while.) Some stores can only have a certain amount of people in due to social distancing. When I went to the Disney Store I had to wait a few minutes to get in because they where at capacity. Tonight I am going to watch Bill and Ted 3 with my friends Ian, David, and Jennie.But my meet up made me wonder if things happen or a reason or if everything is just a coincidence. I am forever convinced the universe has a twisted sense of humor. But the universe also seems to know when you really need something too. I know at the time Jenn and I reconnected, I was in need of my friends. However I know Jenn had no way of knowing this. Jenn just knew it was my birthday and told me happy birthday which is how we started talking again . Either way, for whatever reason we reconnected I am glad it did. You can't always get what you want, but you definitely get what you need. Now I am off to enjoy the tail end of my weekend.
