Been off the Blog a while with the parents visiting, landscaping work at the house, and a cold that won't go away. So 24 days worth of updates with pictures instead of a story.

WEDNESDAY...
--- Fairly busy work day.
THURSDAY...
--- Not as busy as yesterday. Do lunch with Shannon at the caffeteria.
--- After work get a new camera lens cap and return a previous one I got at Future Shop a few days before. They were basically useless. Future Shop is becoming a store run by teenagers who are only kind of interested in the equipment they're selling.
FRIDAY...
--- Thai night. Several of us go in on it. Yummy food.
--- Work is pretty straight forward but still it's past midnight before the worst of it is through.
SATURDAY...
--- Quiet Saturday night at work with left over Thai to get me through.
SUNDAY...
--- Star Wars Day at Nick and Melissa's. Lots of food and the three original movies get us through the day.
MONDAY...
--- Catch up some on my PVR and do a walk for forty minutes.
TUESDAY...
--- Clean the house as the landscapers show to do my patio work.
WEDNESDAY...
--- I'm in front of the tv much of the day. Want to be around in case anything is up with patio workers. They are done by the end of the day and I run from dealing with them to picking up the parents at the airport. Chinese food ends the day.
THURSDAY...
--- Long day running around. Groceries, patio furniture shopping, a trip to Bearbrook Farm for some food and a view of a baby buffalo.
--- Hockey on tv for me and dad at the end of it all.
FRIDAY...
--- Bert and Paula visit for lunch. Prior to that dad and I go back to Lowe's to get my patio furniture.
--- A movie in the evening at home. Once... First time I've watched it in several years. And first ever for mom and dad. Good movie.
SATURDAY...
--- Busy day. Run out with mom in the morning so she can do some shopping. I go to Canadian Tire and Future Shop while I wait.
--- Mountain Equipment Co-Op after that with dad joining us. Get a few things there and then off to Dicks for lunch. Museum of Nature comes next. The frog exhibit was neat and the dinosaurs are always good to see. Hard to believe it's the first time I've been at this museum and I've lived in Ottawa eleven years now.
--- Home from there. A bit of a break then struggle putting together furniture in the garage. Some talk time with mom and dad after and a little tv.
SUNDAY...
--- Mothers Day at home. Get my patio furniture all in order and we BBQ for supper.
MONDAY...
--- Off to Saint Sauveur. Staying at Fiddlers Lake resort. Go into town for lunch and be lazy around the chalet afterwards.
TUESDAY...
--- I'm getting sick. Catching what dad has. Scratchy throat and feeling fairly drained much of today. Still we have sauna and hot tub times and a fine meal in town for the evening.
--- Driving back to Fiddlers Lake we see an oncoming pickup hit a deer. Pull over to check on the driver. His airbag went off and the front was pretty crumpled. The deer had a few jerks and moves on the side of the road before dying. Poor thing.
WEDNESDAY...
--- Really not feeling too well today. But do the drive back to Ottawa and we get a few groceries before getting back to the house.
THURSDAY...
--- A home day. Go nowhere trying to get back to healthy. Soup and chicken pot pie and tv with the parents.
FRIDAY...
--- Alone in CPSIC on dayshift... Sick. It's the worst I've felt while working in CPSIC. If the partner was in I'd have been home. Oh well. Get through it and home to a cooked meal. That was nice.
SATURDAY...
--- Back to work while mom and dad stick around the house. I'm still not great but better than yesterday. And mom and dad saw the beaver while out for a walk. I think they win.
SUNDAY...
--- Nights alone and still sick. Prior to that we go downtown to check out some of the tulip festival stuff at Majors Hill Park followed by a stroll along the canal. A few groceries and lunch of Lebanese food before my nap.
MONDAY...
--- Lay pretty low in the morning and I'm back to work at night. Still hacking quite a bit and zero energy. But lucky that it isn't a busy night.
TUESDAY...
--- Up after four hours or so and bring mom and dad to the airport. Despite the sickness, it was a nice visit with the parents. Got to stop on the drive home thanks to the typical duck and ducklings crossing the road. Then lay low for the day.
WEDNESDAY...
--- Starting to feel better but not enough for RCMP softball. A half hour stroll and mow the lawns is more than enough on the energy front. Get some fruit and drinks at Farm Boy too.
THURSDAY...
--- Walk with the camera getting shots of birds and frogs. Do some more seeding of the lawn's dead patches. Today I'm in spurts. For a bit feeling close to normal again. Then later my throat is scratchy with a tickle again causing lots of coughs.
