Making It Up As I Go Along #288

MONDAY...
— October 1 and it’s 24 degrees today. Nice stuff.
— Work is alright for dayshift. I’m actually alert in the morning but get sort of tired after lunch.

TUESDAY...
— Tired after a bad night’s sleep but I file at work and it’s okay.
— Hour plus walk in the evening.

WEDNESDAY...
— Work is okay... slow going in the AM but I pick up as the day goes. Hockey at Nick’s in the evening. Ottawa beats Toronto in overtime. Alright game though.

THURSDAY...
— Dead tired in the afternoon. Almost feels like I’m getting sick... but I think it’s from being tired and having eaten lunch out in the sun. It’s a warm sunny day today, so maybe, put it all together and I got run down.
— Pick up Ian from the airport and do a little visit with him. Been years since I saw him last and it’s quite good to catch up during his quick trip to Ottawa.

FRIDAY...
— Kind of tired today, even though I slept well last night. Thanks to the map Laura drew up, mom, dad and I should have a fine trip down in her neck of the woods. Apple Orchards and Upper Canada Village on the schedule.
— Out with Karl for supper and a movie. Live Free or Die Hard was pretty good.

SATURDAY...
— Get the parents at the airport in the morning. Get some groceries... and check out things downtown in the Market. Just stay home in the evening and watch the hockey game.
