the first game

 It was a long week, we had a lot of training sessions and meetings. This week nothing is due on the weekend so that will help. James had a interesting week trying to get everything sorted out. The phone still isn't working right apparently. He also got a flat tire. They had their first game today and  for the first time in a while won. Hopefully the tide is turning with them.

the big adventure

 James got traded to Grand Falls and is on his way across the country so we've been busy preparing. Still having to work out the phone plan. Hoping that he has all that he needs for the trip!

roofers came back

 The roofers were back at 7am so it was another loud day. But it looks maybe like they are done now. Their portapotty still remains so I am not sure. We'll see at 7am tomorrow!

flooding in all the wrong places

 

There was water flooding on Patrick St.

There was crowd flooding in the university area

Pictures from Twitter, not myself!

the rain that should have kept the roofers at bay

 Woke up this morning to buckets of rain coming down. Changed my plans about running some errands!

The roofers are indeed at bay though they may not have been planning to work on Saturday anyway. I wonder if the rain kept the parties at bay?

rain keeps roofers at bay

 

There was some rain in the early morning that evidently put off the roofers so it was a quiet day today. There is some rain forecast tonight which may put off the partiers that the city is so worried about.

I had an eye exam today so my eyes are very tired. I had to make a decision about frames with weak eyes.

I was wrong about the roofing

 While they had taken down the rickety fence on the east side closest to me, the rickety fence on other sides are still up. Making a lot of noise and smells. Looks like there is still a way to go.

I woke up at 6am and the roofers arrived at 7am. They have a routine.

I have been working to catch up on my email.

roofing

 

For the last few days the apartment building behind us has been having its roof done. They had to have a crane thing as the roof was pretty high. They started at 7am every morning with very loud gear. They had a rickety wooden fence around the outside of the roof. Yesterday it smelled very bad as they must have been tarring. Today they took the rickety fence down and we hammering things at the edge of the roof. I was worried that they took down the rickety fence too early but it was all good.

The 401 was closed for the day after a nasty accident with transports last night. It appears to still be closed.

2 outbreaks

There were 2 outbreaks listed for Kingston today. One listed as "other" with 5 active cases. One listed as "retail" with 9 active cases. But no other details. No cases on the Queen's case tracker though so not at Queen's.

I went to Loblaws early in the morning, not many people about. Biked into work to pick up a test and deliver it. Lots of meetings and a training session done even though classes are out for the week.

 

Thanksgiving

 

Yesterday James did his longest drive to Brighton so we could see my parents. He did well, though it was still stressful. It was nice to see the parents and hang out in Brighton for a bit.

I didn't sleep well in the night, waking for things in the garden and firetrucks.

a long week

It was a long week and I didn't get much sleep so I went to bed early last night. The photos are from before the busy week where I hung out with a bunny in the back yard and a picture from Churchill park with what Clara called the Bermuda plants.

This week we had an in person test and another visit from Clara. Kim's mum is now at home which she appreciates but it is a lot of work.

 

Green tea

 I ran out of my regular herbal tea and had some green tea yesterday. May explain why I had difficulty getting to sleep as I'm guessing there is caffeine in it. So despite being so tired it took ages to get to sleep. Then I woke up at 5am. Went to Loblaws and picked up some sale butter. Then went for a walk with Kim. Weather was lovely.

Then needed a nap!

A weary week

 Watch out for the volcanic cash!

It was a long week as my laptop battery died and I had to get a new laptop and am now working on transferring things over. I told James I am going to bed. And he said it is only 9pm and I was like yes, that is how done I am.
