Revalations

It seems I've missed my 2 year mark in Saskatoon. It was at the beginning of the month. And what a 2 years it's been.

It makes me ask the question, what's normal anymore. Normal used to be going to school, going to work, study, sleep, start again. But these years normal seems to only last a few a months, change and then that becomes the norm only to change again. Which one do I like more? The latter is definitely more exciting, but the former seems to be alot more comforting.

Don't misconstrue this to say that I don't feel like I'm at home. I'm very much at home here in my life and I like the change. It's just do you ever get back into those periods of non change again in life?

Alright, enough of the existential talk.

Lots gone on in the last little while. I've stepped into my managing position at work. It's alot of work. I'm not going to lie, I can't say I expected it to be this much work and pressure. I'm sure that will just be for now until I get used of it and figure out my way.

Ryan's bday was last weekend. I bought him a bat. Well I also bought him the DVD Risky Business and gave it to him first. I wanted him to think that's all I got him. But disappointingly he seemed quite happy with the DVD he knew nothing about. I wrapped the bat up like a bat, that was fun. I'd do it all again to see the smile on his face when he saw it. We went to Red Lobster, had giant caesars and seafood, I made him a trifle, it was a pretty good day.

This weekend would have been the perfect lake weekend, but I stayed behind and caught up on housework, accompanied Ryan to a wedding reception, checked out the Jazz Festival, visited with Enobong, etc. Anyone know why they call it the Jazz festival when I couldn't really find a band that played Jazz? There was folk music and country music, but I wouldn't really call that Jazz.

Universe Part II

It's funny. Ryan asked me the other day what Part I of this post was a couple days ago. And I really couldn't remember. I was fretting about it, but I wrote it down and went on my merry way and all was forgot.

But today it all came flooding back, and what I thought the universe was preparing me for was correct. And it was preperation well worth it, and needed and I came out fine and unscathed. No panic attack, no physical reaction whatsoever, just a firm appreciation of the past when it was good.

I really have to credit some advice. A good way to stop missing someone or something is to find one you like more.

Long Weekend

Here are a few pics from the long weekend that Ryan's Mom took of Bunnyrat, Razzle and Mika:

Ice Cream

There's an ice cream hut 1 block away from work. I visit it quite frequently I love ice cream in the summer. I've been trying to cut down lately, I haven't been all week, until today.

This morning I got up. Made up Bunnyrat's breakfast put it aside in a pile. Made Ryan a lunch pile, put it aside, made myself a lunch pile, put it aside. I the went and fed Bunnyrat, wrote a note on Ryan's pile, and somehow only ended up taking half of my pile to work for lunch. I forgot the most important part, the sandwich.

So for lunch today I thought, why not have ice cream for lunch? I've been good all week I thought. So for lunch I had 2 scoops of Cookies n' Cream and 1 scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough, all in a waffle cone. So much for cutting back ice cream for the week. I singlehandedly put it all back in one sitting, since I usually just get a single scoop........ Plus I'm sooooo full at the moment.......

( yes my work is fun :) swings, ice cream, cats, I love it!)

Universe

The universe is trying to tell me something.

I'm ignoring the message, I don't like it one bit. There's been a few odd incidences the last couple weeks. And I'm at a place in my life that I really really like and would like to hang in it and not stir anything up. Maybe I'm interpreting the message wrong, maybe it's intentionally throwing these things out there to see how I react. I think I've reacted quite well so far, better than I have in the past, I haven't overreacted, I think. This is one message I'm not going to pursue. Maybe it's just some sort of universal foreshadowing to prepare me for something coming up so that I no longer react at all.

Let's just say it's coincidence. I probably shouldn't put so much faith in the Universe in the first place, it has led me astray before :) I like my conclusions.

25 going on 8

There's adult sized swings a block away from work. The last couple weeks I've made sure my afternoon walk included a swing. It's so much fun, and I feel a little silly as I kick off my dress shoes and make a run for the swing barefoot, but I don't care, it's fun and I will continue to do it because it makes me happy.
