Infection

 James is fighting an ear infection and probably a lung infection as well. He had the presence of mind to tell the doctor that he can't swallow pills and she prescribed him chewable antibiotics but they didn't have any at the pharmacy so he got stuff to sprinkle on feed. We have devised a process for this as he'll have a few bites of yogurt with the medicine. Seems to work.

He really needs to rest to get better but he spent the whole weekend at the rink.

Power lines

 As I was walking home I heard an electric crackle and saw a fire between some wires on a telephone pole. I thought that a drone had hit the power lines. Then the fire went out and something black plummeted from the power lines. I still thought it was a drone at the time, burned. But it hit the ground with a thud. It was a squirrel. Dangers on the ground from cars and dangers in the air from the power. And yet, there are still so many of them.

All over town

 I went to meet with Deirdre at 8am at her hotel. I picked a route that had bike lanes so it was a longer route. We hung out at Tim Hortons for a bit. I then biked over to Rustle to do AV. Then biked home. Probably 17-18km. James went golfing as the weather was so nice. I made him steak, rice broccoli when he got back, then made a pot of soup so he can heat it up tomorrow as I have an extra long day.

Winter coat

 It was very chilly this morning so I needed to wear my winter coat to Loblaws. Loblaws was pretty quiet but the self checkout computers were having some issues to that cashier was busy.

I did some laundry and dishes and then took a nice nap in the afternoon.

For dinner I picked up Barburrito. I was able to wear a fall coat as it had warmed up a bit during the day. Tonight, James wants my help as he is practicing for a group presentation tomorrow.

Mornings are now colder and darker

 Normally I get up earlier than usual on Wed to put out the garbage so that it doesn't get ripped into overnight. It was always light at this time. This week it was dark. I'll probably fall back to putting it out the night before.

Yesterday, due to the cooler weather and the need to bike I wore my next halara outfit of the black pants and top. It was indeed very comfortable and warm. I will need to go back to wearing tights with dresses again. 

Yesterday we had 3 classes making progress on their projects. I just managed email. Today is 4 classes and they are tech sessions so our technical TAs will be attending.

Last night for the chef's plate meal it was spaghetti with meat and peppers with hoisin sauce. Which ended up being so late I had to eat it while at my e-group.

Accessible door

 We are having an accessible door put in our office that somewhat confuses me as our door is pretty much always open. I guess it is in case staff need it?

Tomorrow I have a number of meetings and training sessions and lots of work to get done, not sure how the two will mix.
