flooding

My email is still out of control but I am trying to chip away at it while still trying to do my work!

Walking home it was dark and rainy. For the most part the walk was ok just a bit wet but when I turned on to Victoria St. it looked like there was a car across the sidewalk. I thought it was just backing out of a driveway but it was so slow I thought I would cross the road. I did cross and then as I got closer I saw the puddle was all across the road and across the sidewalk so I thought I would walk on the lawn but the person ahead of me I saw that the was up to their knees. So I turned around and picked another street.

That street probably swallowed up kiddies trick or treating as there were no people on our street.

Hip hop

I did get to see Deirdre over homecoming and we caught up a bit and joked about how we ended up in similar problem solving jobs.

Homecoming went relatively ok. Not for the red bull van though.








Sunday was a hip hop for me. I went to the early service on Sunday, then to work, then back to Rustle for Faye's memorial.
We had some long days this week due to track testing.
Now Clara is in town so I'll see her this morning.

Homecoming

Still up to my eyeballs in work. This weekend is Homecoming at Queen's. Deirdre is up with some friends so I got to see her for a few minutes while she checked in a Grant Hall. She and her friends are participating in the parade tomorrow but I may get to spend some time with her after. But we'll see as she probably has lots of people to see.

unstricken

On Sunday night, the news of the school being open came through. So that changes some plans.
Then on Tuesday night James had a late hockey game and didn't get home until about 2am.
Yesterday I worked 12 hours. On the way home there was a racoon sitting on a lawn eating garbage. He saw me but was not concerned enough to leave the garbage. He was quite large. So I pretended I didn't see him. And we were both happy to pass each other by.
I got home early enough today to be able to mow the lawn!

Strike

James texted me today as he was excited that he didn't have school on Monday due to a strike. He was quite happy about this.

Today the World gymnastics qualification began and with today's internet age I can keep up with what is going on.

This week things slipped from being relatively ok to spinning out of control as there were timetable conflicts (Thanks to Thanksgiving) and other conflicts that needed to be negotiated. I took it eary today but will be working tomorrow.
