So there’s
not very much to report today. The main news is that it’s Jesse’s birthday!
Yesterday when I was in town with Cristina and Tanner we got him a card and a
couple of gifts- I didn’t mention that in yesterday’s post due to the chance
that Jesse would read it. He, and a few other people here, have told me that
they occasionally read the blog. I think that’s kind of weird, seeing as how my
friends here are with me all the time and pretty much know how I spend my days,
but if they enjoy it I guess that’s cool. Anyway, this morning at breakfast in
the EDR before work, we got Nate and a few people from Jesse’s department to
sign the card. There was a big wedding in the lodge this afternoon, so Jesse
had to come in to work for a while earlier in the day to help set up for it,
but thankfully his shift didn’t last too long and his boss didn’t make him come
back in later to help take it all back down. By the time Nate, Cristina and I
were done with work at three, he was done as well and hanging out on the back
porch.
After
getting out of our uniforms, Cristina and I joined Jesse out on the porch.
Tanner had today off, so he was out there as well. Soon Nate also came to join
us, and the five of us sat out there, listening to music and talking. After a
while Tanner ran into their room and came back out with the card and the gifts
we’d gotten for Jesse yesterday. We knew a couple of things that he’d actually
said he was planning on getting for himself for his birthday, but his bank
account recently got hacked so he doesn’t have access to any money until his
bank mails him a new card. When we learned that Cristina, Tanner and I decided
that, instead of making him wait until he had money again to celebrate, we
should just get him some of the things we knew he wanted. That was the main
reason we went into town yesterday, actually. We also got a few people that
know him to chip in some money, then they signed his card as well. After waking
up multiple times to Jesse making coffee for us outside, him loaning us his tent
to go camping, and him grilling delicious food out on the back porch, we really
wanted to do something nice for him for his birthday. Cristina and I definitely
got really lucky by getting the room next to him. Not long after I met Jesse he
told me that he has a habit of taking on a big brother type of role with a lot
of his friends (especially his female friends). He was right; it does often
feel like that when I’m hanging out with him.
Jesse, Nate
and I decided not to go into town this evening. It’ll save time and money to
just go hang at the Whistle Pig later, which we’ll definitely do. Cristina and
Tanner still wanted to go into town, so they left about half an hour ago.
Like I said,
not a whole lot of news to report today. I work the morning shift again
tomorrow with Cristina, which shouldn’t be hard.
