miss me?

Posted on July 13, 2006 | Filed Under Day to day 

Busy work days and weekends filled to the brim have made me be quite neglect-ful (?) of our little site here…I am still alive and around just not able to find the time to post. A small lull in work has given me a few minutes. Somehow its already Thursday and we have another weekend in Victoria coming up full of visiting and errands and birthdays. Last weekend I was in Victoria by myself visiting friends, doing wedding stuff for Adrienne and Russ’s wedding, and visiting my family. I actually probably spent more time with my brother than my parents and that was kind of nice.

I usually like travelling by myself to Victoria, spending time with my ipod and looking out the window of the bus. Last week, I was able to get a car ride to the ferry and then I ran into an old friend from college at the terminal so we had a little visit, but I really wanted to spend some time by myself so I made my way to the ferry buffet dinner to hide out and not talk to anyone. Maybe my weekend full of visiting made me want to be a little reclusive this week and spend time with myself. I was very nicely invited to a girl’s night event last night and I put off writing it down anywhere and then when I remembered it was last night it was already too late. (oops, sorry Brigette).

My new position at work is going really good, as I actually enjoy being busy all day and not so bored to tears. Its nice to have an old friend that i used to work with in Victoria working here now, makes it a bit more friendly here. Although as we seem to be chronically short-staffed (always someone on holiday, sick, away, etc) so it can be a little stressful. I have not yet had my yearly review but that should happen tomorrow or next week. Im not sure if I will get another raise, but one can always hope.

Jeremy and I are once again thinking of moving and buying a condo, but its so discouraging that Vancouver is so darn expensive. I cant understand how people can afford to live in houses, with yards, and spaces between them and neighbors? Is that even possible?

There was a little miscommunication between Jeremy and I regarding summer holidays so I have some booked off and he doesnt. I think we might scrap it and take a winter vacation instead. Somewhere hot and tropical. Any suggestions? :)

I should get back to work.

    Heh! No problem, Laura. We’ll just have to do it again sometime soon-ish! :-)
