Am back from the Cottage. Was V. fun. Although very very crowded. Me, Beej, Mum, Dad, Drw, Kat, Owen AND Mon all under one roof. Plus the dog and my two monsters. Yeah, crowded.
It was good though, we haven't had the whole family (including Kat and Mon) together for any good amount of time in quite a while. It was really really funny to see how we all kinda compare with how we live. All of us brought notebook computers up with us, Mum, Dad and Kat for doing work and school stuff, Drew for watching things, Owen just got his as a present and I brought mine to clean it up while I had a bit of free time. We also all brought a bunch of comics, which all got swapped and traded and passed about a bit as all good books should.
Went down to the lake as well, it currently has a species of fish in it that's... really not supposed to be there. It's a type of mudskipper, butt ugly and I have a feeling really bad for the lake...
Saw Dana (one of my dads good friends from the Emirates.) Mocked alot and had a bit too much to drink (as always). Spent 3 hours driving home on monday, wasn't too bad, damn hot though, especially with 3 people, lots of luggage as well as 2 unfortunate cats.
Got home, was unpacking the car and immediately got invited to Jenn and Bills' thanksgiving dinner. Mmmmmm, roast lamb.... As it stands now I've had 3 thanksgiving dinners and have enough leftovers to choke a horse. And there is Pie, oh gods is there Pie.
I love the fall, pumpkin flavoured everything and halloween and carving pumpkins and good food. Driving through the country when the whole world looks like it's on fire, and just enough cold for it to nip and for me to wear coats without it being too bad. Being able to wander toronto in full ren-gear and demon contacts and not have the mundies give me a second glance... I love the fall...
Am going crazy at work recently, Brandi, the data-entry person, has been off sick for 5 days in a row noe. Not good. And one of the people in the office has spent most of today in a massive shouting match with a driver, amusing, but also not terribly fun.
Have had alot of time to think recently, and am seriously considering a few options with the whole housing.... thing. If Jenn moves out in December and Tiff can't move in, and I can't find a roomate I think I'll move in with Drew and Kat, they have the room and it's a good distance from work, and rent would go down. If Tiff does move in I think I'll quit, try and pick up a job in the city, and look into taking some evening and summer courses over the next little while.
Either of these are pretty temorary though, still thinking I want to move out to Vancouver after the 2010 Olympics and try to go to UBC out there. I dunno, thoughts anyone?
This weekend looks to be rather mad, parties and the Zombie walk and shopping, sweet! Have also decided that Meredith WILL get in shape even if it kills her (which it might really). I am so sick of being tubby it's not funny and now thanksgiving is over so I REALLY have no damn excuse in the world.
So tonight, it's back to the weights and the cycling, at least now that I have my I-phone I can watch TV and stuff while I'm doing it.
Ah, all the line just lit up on the phone, time to get back to work.
