My week has proved to be full of much downtime. Wednesday, Jon and I got caught up on cleaning and yesterday, I chilled while Jon was at church. Oh yes… a belated “Happy Canada Day” to the Canucks on my blogroll and others who visit Meditatio regularly.

Last night was a free concert at the local branch of OSU and Jon and I decided to go. It’s a pretty campus and we brought a blanket thinking that we might need it. Well… everyone had brought lawn chairs and stuff and we hung out with our cat care people and their family. The music was some rock classics, the Land of Legend Philharmonic Orchestra doing patriotic fare, and the Scioto County Brass and Percussion. It was a lovely concert and the fireworks were pretty sweet as well. Unfortunately, I accidentally hit another car trying to get out of the parking lot. 🙁 (I was trying to get into a space that someone had opened for me and I accidentally went too far to the left and dinged someone’s door.

We ran into lots of people from church there and we also ran into people at Kroger and Festival Foods. I made a batch of granola this afternoon before I realized that we were out of milk and had to make a Wal-Mart run. The Wal-Mart run turned out to be very interesting because a thunderstorm was about to hit and there were a few dust devils in front of it. Trying to turn into the Wal-Mart parking lot was really bad because of it and I think I just avoided being hit by a car because visibility was so low. We were also having to dodge runaway carts being propelled by the wind.
