Follow through
I need this weekend for a break. I am taking four days and I am going to spend it, for the most part, lying down and watching movies and reading novels with no redeeming social value. I can’t help but think that my brain needs some serious recharging since I am having some difficulty following known facts through to their logical conclusion and ( Read more... ) -
Volunteering in Edmonton
Well, it's started snowing again, but I am in summer mode anyway. I planted tomatoes, strawberries, roses, petunias, and herbs on the weekend. I was excited, but it froze last night and today was not too warm. Sigh. The tomatoes are dead, but some stuff survived. Kind of annoying. I probably should have covered them, like my facebook friends all ( Read more... ) -
Cooking for myself
The Writer's Block question of the day on the home page is "When was the last time you cooked for yourself and what did you make?" Good question, and so very relevant since I would have to think about it. It wasn't today. Or yesterday. Thursday? No, not then either. Wednesday! I used the leftovers from the fridge and mixed leftover marinara sauce ( Read more... ) -
Harmony in the office again
I am still in a cleaning mood. Today I cleaned up my office at work, got rid of the piles of paper, and the boxes. Now, perhaps I will take some things in to decorate it, as well. I bought a broom and dustpan at the dollar store on my way home, since our janitors don't do a great job. To their credit, however, we do have kind of a lot of stuff on ( Read more... ) -
Back to Work
My week off was good, although I spent a lot of it working. I spent Thursday dealing with some issue regarding an inappropriate email. I didn't spend so much actual time on it as I did emotional time. But now I feel maybe I should have just left it alone. Ah well. The issue is over now ( Read more... ) -
Mac Book
I updated the Mac Book and I am not any happier with it. It's still moving really slowly, and spinning the old beach ball. The battery is very hot, but that's not new. The big desktop computer, the eBook is all better now but not this one. Also, it is having some keyboard problems as well. So, that makes this the second mac laptop I have bought in ( Read more... ) -
My foot hurts
I went to the gym. I have now walked three days in a row on the treadmill, and now my foot hurts. It has something to do with the way my body weight is situated or something. Anyway, I knew it hurt today when I started walking but I walked anyway. And then at Safeway, I limped. Painfully. And now I am sitting resting at my kitchen table with bags ( Read more... ) -
Space Channel
I was a little disappointed tonight, since I was looking forward to watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture on Space this evening. But they put it on at 6:00 and that was too early for me to settle down to watch it. Especially since I wasn't home yet. Stupid time zone differences. I hope the people in Toronto enjoyed getting to watch it in the ( Read more... ) -
The Last weekend of April
Well, we had all kinds of weather this weekend. I have said many times that the reason that winter here is so disheartening is because it gives so many false hopes of ending, and then it snows again. Not that the snow bothered me much this weekend. It mostly happened when I was indoors and then melted by the time I went out. But we did get hail on ( Read more... ) -
Presentations day
Today, all 75 of us went down to room 2-4 over at HQ for the students to do the presentations that they have been working on for the last month. My class's presentations were the best, I think, but they also got the most interesting assignments. That's because they are civil engineers, and civil is the most interesting of all the engineering fields ( Read more... )
