Lazy Sunday

Lazy Sundays. These days usually entail relaxing in "the cave" (it's what we call our apartment), doing laundry, and resting our bodies to prepare for the upcoming week of practice. I usually turn the tv on and watch some football late in the day (early afternoon games back home). Right now I have the Baltimore and Houston game on. Today was the day, however, that Sue and I decided to make a trip to the grocery store. No, Not the little markets we've been stopping at to get chocolate and 50 cent (I mean stoitinki) plastic cups of coffee.

This grocery store is a bit of a trek from the cave. So we decided we would take our backpacks to put our groceries in for the walk back. It was actually really refreshing getting out and seeing a different area of Haskovo. Turns out there is more to this place than the gym and our apartment. Some of the labels on the food and drinks here have English on them, but most do not. I have enough trouble back home making decisions on what to buy, now I can't even tell what the choices are! It's really pretty easy to see what things are by pictures or by the way it looks though. Big oranges on the bottle? Orange juice. Strawberries on the jar? Strawberry jelly. Lamb on the container? Not gonna buy it.

It's a little overwhelming walking through a grocery store and not knowing where anything is. Basically just walking down every aisle and seeing if you need anything from there is a little time consuming.. But we had nothing else to do so, why not?

So we jammed our groceries into our backpacks and started home. Once we got back we pretty much assumed our Lazy Sunday positions. I got to have a long chat with my mom and dad over FaceTime which ALWAYS puts me in a good mood. I see the leaves are changing color at their house which is my favorite part of Fall. I've been looking around at the trees here in Bulgaria and the leaves don't seem to be changing from green. There is one that I spotted on the way to practice the other day that has some orange and yellow in it so I'll have to snap a picture of it. It is starting to get chilly here in the mornings and evenings, getting close to winter!!

Tomorrow we have practice at 9 am so I will probably get to bed sooner tonight. I do want to give a shout out to the Western football team for absolutely dominating at Pitt State. I stayed up extra late to listen to the radio broadcast again. Very excited for them, and I REALLY love when they have early games because I can listen.

Anyways, I hope everyone's Sunday was as lazy as mine!!

Thanks for reading..
Until next time,
