Easy Come... Easy Go

Well. This is my first blog post, so bear with me while I get used to the whole idea.

My day was pretty wonderful actually. I woke up early and went to see my grandmother. We ran a few errands around town, then had lunch at The Charred Rib in Timonium. The food was pretty good, but what I really enjoyed was the company. My grandmother is absolutely fascinating. She is definitely my hero. She is so independent and knowledgeable about life. I feel like I can't spend enough time with her. Every time I am around her, I learn something new. I always look forward to seeing her each week.

After leaving my grandmother's house, I came home and took a nap for about an hour. I had a doctor's appointment in the afternoon to get a physical for volleyball. Same boring stuff as always...$20 later, the doctor concluded that I was fit to play and sent me on my way. These kinds of little charges are starting to add up; they are definitely not helping to grow my travel savings account. It's really frustrating how long it takes to earn a significant amount of money and how quickly it seems to flow out of my bank account.

Speaking of money, work was easy... the thunderstorms brought everyone in early, and a lot of the couples didn't stay for dinner after golf. I waited on 10 people total. I basically got paid to chat with the bartender and eat. I might have the easiest job in the world. I suppose in this case, the money really is "easy come, easy go".
