✨ Happenings

For the weekdays, I managed to keep myself occupied with reading and playing games, but notably, Taylor and I watched The Death of Stalin, Krystal and I went bouldering together, and I watched the Artemis II launch.
On Good Friday, we had Katelyn and Ang over for lunch and a game of Root with the new expansion (and Katelyn won). Afterwards, we got ice cream from Made By Marcus. For the rest of the day, I puttered around the house reading and playing games.
Bright and early on Saturday, Taylor, Nyx, and I went to Nose Hill Park to meander around for a couple hours and enjoy the beautiful sunrise. Afterwards, Taylor and I joined Katelyn and Ang for bouldering, with a stop at Unimarket for lunch (which was incredible good-tasting and had great yerba mate prices).
For Easter Sunday, I joined Alexis for coffee and a sweet treat at Butterblock Cafe for a couple hours in the morning (I hadn't seen Alexis since her surgery 💜). For the rest of the day, Taylor and I joined the family at Jan and James' place. We looked at photos from their trip to Jamaica, played Carcassonne, and enjoyed a fantastic dinner!
For books, I continued reading Kim Ghattas' Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East. As for video games, I continued playing Marathon and started playing Astro Bot with Taylor (one of the few Playstation 5 games we got on sale this week).

👣 Taylor's Footnotes

This week was a lot (especially March 31st - yay grants) and I am so, so glad to finally be on my week off! I am looking forward to playing games with friends, maybe going climbing more, and spending some much needed time catching up with friends, family, and rest.
I didn't do much exciting without Chance this week, and I imagine that I'll have even less to separately report this week as I truly am looking forward to hanging out together more! Yay!
On a total side note - we learned a new thing this week - peep this Peep Sushi! This batch was made by Teegy and Cadence, who were gracious enough to share photos of their dark arts with us. Truly wonderous creations!

Whereas Weeknotes provide a brief summary of the weeks' affairs and a selection of relevant photos, Monthly Roundups act as a retrospective on video games, albums, books, movies, essays, and television programs that defined my month.
