I'm sitting here at work ... desperately bored to death. I'm working with the same people with the exception of Kathy, our Supervisor, who isn't in today. The conversation around here is mind numbing and I've been trying to tune it out ... trying so hard. I've read Blogs, etc., trying to keep my mind occupied and engaged.
I've decided to take an Adobe Photoshop Elements course in October at Mount Royal College. I haven't signed up as of yet but today after work I will. There aren't a lot of things that I look forward to but the thought of doing this makes me excited. It's something I always wanted to do and I'm glad I found the course and happy I've made the decision to attend. Penny wants to do this class with me. I don't have a problem with her doing so but if she ends up not going, that will be okay too. I enjoy her company, but for once it would be nice to do something where she isn't tyring to be the centre of attention ... it's exhausting.
Today is the last day for the Calgary Stampede. I've been working so much this past week that we haven't gone to see the fireworks once. Last night Jillian mentioned that since I'm not working tomorrow morning and we should go tonight for the finale. It's a really good idea and we will go for sure.
On Tuesday we are leaving for Vancouver Island and Cameron Lake. I am really beginning to believe I need this vacation. I need it, but I'm not ready for it. Nothing is packed, heck I don't even have a list started yet. The house isn't crazy clean like I want it to be. My mom is coming to our house to take care of Stuart and Pedro and I like to have it spotless, shining and easy for her to be there. I want her time to be there to be as relaxing as possible. So needless to say, this evening I have a few things to do. Yesterday I did manage to get some dusting, vacuuming and some spot cleaning on the carpet in the dining room. I've been doing the laundry bit by bit for the last few days. Why on earth do I feel like I have so much more to do? Maybe I'm a little crazy. But while I'm here at work, I will write out a packing list and that will be time well spent.
I'm so excited for the trip. The more I think about it, the happier and happier I get. The ferry over to the island is always a highlight for me. The smell of the air, the views, the wind and the vibration of the ferry itself ... it makes it seem like such a remote and special destination. God I hope we live there one day.
