A lack of sleep last night (awake before 4:00 am this morning) and several hours running around looking for a bloody lightbulb had me snoozing instead of writing this afternoon. So tired and getting near bed, a quicker update this week.
Three In One
Ottawa winter
Brightly biting
Glacial days
Meant for hibernation
Turns to St. John's
Wind whipped
Slushy grey
Inhospitable outdoors
Becomes Vancouver
Mildly dripping
Damply fleeced
Mossy and muddy
Three winters in one
Beating the spirit
Fattening the body
Bringing Florida dreams to the hardest of souls
--- Lunch with Laura at work. First time meeting up for lunch since she returned to the RCMP. Good times.
WEDNESDAY...
--- Typical CPSIC day in that it isn't very busy for the morning. Mona decides to leave around 2:30. And then the work starts coming. Manage fine but it's typical.
THURSDAY...
--- Working the nights alone. It's busy. Mine is the third straight shift working alone so work is a bit backed up. I'm going at it steady until 1:30 and even held off doing some of the night duties to manage.
FRIDAY...
--- Still alone. And day shift was also alone again. So that's now five straight shifts of one person in CPSIC. To become six straight when I'm relieved Saturday morning.
--- I'm busier tonight than last night. No stop until 2:30 this time and even then there's something new coming in every half hour or so.
SATURDAY...
--- Out of bed around noon. Rainy and cool so I'm in for the day. Blue Jays are beginning to stink again. Horrible pitching and two or three batters that just can't hit at all. But wow... That pitching. You knew it wouldn't be great but these are minor leaguers. And Buck and Tabler calling games is just getting painful. Pat Tabler lives in shangrila. Everyone is a future hall of famer and every pitch is the beginning of something special in his world. And Martinez basically repeats himself a dozen times per game. Every time a batter comes up is as if it's the first time we've ever seen him. We get the same story. It's like he's a play by play man in a video game.
--- Road to Perdition is on the movie network. Even though I own it I still PVR it during the Blue Jay fiasco. Such a good movie.
SUNDAY...
--- Walk. But it's a cold wind so I'm not thrilled by it.
MONDAY...
--- Longer walk today and take the camera with me. Out more than an hour and get some shots of a snake and also the beaver. The beaver basically napping in the afternoon sun.
--- BBQ sausages from Bearbrook Farm. Lots of good food from that place.
TUESDAY...
--- Messed up today. I wake up around 3:45 and don't get back to sleep. Toss and turn until 4:30 or so. Spend some ipad time in bed before getting up around 5:45.
--- Venture out looking for a replacement bulb for the hood fan in the kitchen. Who knew it would be so hard. Finally get one at a small appliance store and then spend a good half hour trying to get the thing in again. I hope I never have to change that bulb again.
--- Nap about an hour on the sofa this afternoon. Hopefully that doesn't hurt bed before dayshift tomorrow.
