Turkey's coming!

I just thought of that title now, in relation to Dave and Thanksgiving....

After the last weekend I didn't think I'd see Regina for a while. I was totally wrong. I ended up in Regina for work on Monday for some training, which means I got my expenses paid, which means I got a free weekend visit to Regina.

I ended up seeing alot of movies, it wasn't very nice at the lake. Then Dave and I went to the movie theater, I know I know. Monday was training and all of Monday was a gong show. I woke up nice and early and got ready and left for my training 50 mins early. I had to stop at the bank on the way to get money for parking (archaic Regina and not having electronic Impark stations). So I get to the end of the street leading out of Wascana View only to see that it's closed and that I have to go all the way back around the circle. Would have been nice to know 10 blocks ago! So I do that and get my CIBC on University Park Drive, only to find out that the bank machines are down for exactly that morning! Then I stop at the nearest 7-11 to also find their ATMs not working. So by this time I'm a little worried I'm not going to make it downtown on time so I thought I'll take my chances that one of the parking lots around the Regina Inn take credit or debit. I drive around the 3 ground Impark lots behind Regina Inn. No luck, cash only. So I take my chances on the Impark Parkade in the Regina Inn. I drive up to the booth, ask if they take anything besides cash. The attendant, Leonard, says no they don't but I can go park as long as I promise to come back with some cash, and if not, it's not a big a deal he's out $5. So I take advantage of this and park. Go into the Regina Inn go to find the ATM. Of course, it is out of order.

By this time it's time for my course to start, I go take it, go have lunch, find a bank machine and come back to pay Leonard, only he's left for the day and you need to pay at the machine. So I take the parking money plus some extra, write Leonard an I'm sorry note and stuff it int he parkade booth between the windows. Hopefully he got it. I would feel terrible if he didn't.

I've kinda had a cold for most of this week, it's not very fun. I've been doing alot of sprinting on the treadmills at the gym and I'm in pretty good running shape for the most part when I'm not full of outdoor allergies. Had DQ with the gals yesterday. And I'm going to the Keg tonight on work's tab, horray, so that will be fun.

This weekend Ryan and I will be spending thanksgiving in PA. Ryan's Grandma is making a turkey (yum). It should be good times.

Bunnyrat is shedding to no end, I'm worried she's ingesting alot of hair, rabbits can't puke up hairballs. Hopefully it slows down soon and she's eating a tonne of hay, helps work all the hair through the system.

I get my wisdom teeth out next week. I'm a little worried but I think it'll be fine. No gas or anasthesia for me, I will be awake, with just a local anasthetic at a regular dentist's office. They haven't broke through yet, they seem to be just under my gums, but they hurt like hell right now, I'll be glad to have them out soon. Short term pain is way better then long term pain.

Yeah so that's my life, not too too interesting :) But just the way I like it.

My house is a mess. I haven't been around to clean too much and when I have been home I haven't been too well, allergies and sinus troubles have been knocking me down. Ryan's done alot of cleaning lately, which is awesome. But I still need to get around to doing laundry and tidying up the Den. I tidyed up the top and inside of the giant desk in there. One day Ryan was looking for an empty drawer in my room to store more of his stuff in and stumbled upon some ex boyfriend momentos of mine. So as I was cleaning out the desk and stumbled upon some more of those, I thought I may as well find the hidden ones in the bedroom as well. I don't really know why I was saving them, but they're all trashed now. Some people think I should of saved them but, meh, what am I going to do with them? Plus I need that room for new momentos. Out with old, in with the new and improved?? hmmmm....I should stop now...

Happy thanksgiving y'all!
