I kinda like it.

I am sitting here at Chair's place. This is the first time in weeks that I have had more than 10 minutes in a row all to myself and I don't really know what to do with myself. I have already done about 2 hours of reading. I am unpacked and ready for tomorrow. I gave Job a good brushing over and had a long chat with him. Its really quite nice. Since I'm not at my home, I don't have piles of laundry, stacks of dishes, errands or much of any responsible like stuff to do.

I think I like it.

My last day at my old job was Friday. Tomorrow I start a week on training for my new job. An exciting new job that I am really looking forward to. It will have many challenges and learning opportunities for me. The kind I like and I want to jump right in with both feet.

However, the people I spent 40 hours or more with every week are still much on my mind. The job itself, not so much, but the people for sure.

I miss you guys already and hang in there Neesja, you just do what you can and the rest will take care of itself. What needs to get done will.

Hmm...

HOLY SHIT Batman

There has been way too much going on in my life. Kaitlin and I went on our road trip last Wednesday, got home Monday night. I went back to work Tuesday am and I haven't had 2 minutes to myself since July 5th. Literally. Even my dreams, when I find my mind slows down enough to get there, are full of everyone else.

But my time has been filled with good things. All of it good.

I had so much fun with my buddy Kaitlin on our trip. Tuesday morning when I got up to go to work and she got to sleep in, I missed her. I found my thoughts wandering to her all that day.

And tonight we had to say goodbye to "The Briere's". They have become such a big part of our lives the past 4 years. We will miss them sorely, but wish them lots of fun and amazing adventures in their new home in Ottawa. I am going to start the official countdown to when we get to hang out with them again.

534 sleeps to our arrival in Ottawa for Christmas 2006!


I promise to get some pictures posted soon. I have found a few minutes to get them uploaded from my camera, but I now have to get them all on flickr and then I can post a few here. I actually took about 150 pictures in the past week. I know flickr won't let me upload them all there, but I will get the best ones on.

I was going to put just one on for now, but flickr is currently having a massage, I am not.
