Yo cuz' go cuz'

Espana

In the attempts to make me feel better a very good friend of mine tried to entice me to a cooking school in Malaga (area) Spain instead of Tuscany. Reason being this place is offering a 2fer1 in May $980usd flat for 2 people for a week, ground transport, accommodation, meals, school, tours for 6 nights. Such a deal!
Soooo tempting but I'm broke and still broken. Food for thought tho, (no pun intended) perhaps next year. The proprietors hail from Seattle.

Locked in my room on very sunny day

I feel like crap.
Went to work, no, let me re-phrase that, I went to the parkade, burst into tears, called in sick and went home.
It is sunny, I didn't really LOCK myself in my room but I did roll back the covers and shut the doors - don't want to talk to anyone, don't want to see anyone, the window is open, the wasps are flying in and out, the birdies are sort of singing, little children are babbling infrequently.
Soup, clear consomme, licorice tea, perrier, hope that fixes what ails me.
And of course T-1's for the screaming headache I've had all day.
Don't you feel better now?!

Feels like Wednesday

Wow, what a day - intense-o-meter scale of 8. I suppose that is low for that place.
Accomplished alot, thought it was Wednesday, didn't know it was lunch at noon, and at 3pm thought it was 4pm
Another day like that tomorrow I bet.

Ahhhh Victoria

You have to love Victoria - not too terribly busy here today. Sunny on and off and just plain lovely. Chinatown was fun, lunch at Irish Times pub is always a favourite and dinner at Earls with the best company in the world, Ruth and Amanda.
I must remember to get some Rogers chocolates before I leave. I'm staying a the Huntingdon Inn and Suites - it was always there to be stayed in - intrigued me with it's equestrian charm - all the riding/hunting themes; anyway the room is fine, kitchenette even. very quiet and close to everything.

It is all good.

Well the Sunday baby visitation turned out pretty well. Baby is so very sweet, just a little peanut and in very good shape.
The new mom was very calm and in good spirits and the new dad is sooo focused on his new son and his wife - was impressed.

Met with the gramma on Monday night and got caught up there - that was a fun visit. Talk about power talking - on your mark, set, go - current affairs all wrapped up in 2 hours. It was like she never left town.

Work has been very extreme the last couple of days - I'm exhausted by this and just the whole healing process. It will be nice to get away this weekend.

How do I let this happen?

Did I speak of the interruptions - continuous - so much for getting any work done this weekend.
I needed to go out and get rubbermaid bins to sort a job that never should have ended up in bins in the first place.
Then I had to go out and get an industrial strength tarp to put our shed roof and entrails on in order to transport it places. Like the dump.
Then I had to conjure up dinner, then it was time to go to the Vancouver Welsh Mens Choir - tick that one off my list. I had higher expectations.

The baby is born and Kamloops is in town - paying respects will chew up Sunday but it is something that has to be done. I don't know how that episode will turn out.

I have to get in touch with my BCIT student - she will think I've forgotten her. But on the other hand she could call me - unless she is volunteering for the paralympics too.

Well it is time to turn the clocks forward - don't want to miss any part of tomorrow.
early up and maybe I can get some work done. Ya, that is it - that is what I'll do - go fast - ride like the wind - Focus, damn it, focus!
