I was told of a Mountaineering Club at NUIG, so we might look into hooking up with one of their hikes to get out more.
The rest of the week was pretty classic- work and good jokes and such. Ben and I got to reconnect with Alan on the bridge and I sat there quietly while they talked in Spanish and we found out that he doesn't have a job because he doesn't have the right papers to work in Ireland, so we talked to Mike to find an organization that works with people in his situation to get it all figured out.
Then tonight while I was out wandering about I met a guy named Jason from Bray who wanted some spare change because he was "sleeping rough tonight". Having been taught not to give cash to just anyone and everyone, I got him a kebab and invited him to come our cafe sometime, even showed him where it is and he was thoroughly impressed by our prices so we plan on having lunch tomorrow. Apparently I just attract these people or God just lands them on me, but I do what I can.
We walked home from church this weekend which was really nice because it was sunny. Today I walked around a lot and got rained, snowed, sunned and winded on. The weather was very shifty today.
I sometimes fight an urge to jump in the river.
