I’m exhausted!
That’s basically my full feelings right now 🙂 I’m so glad Chantale and I enjoyed our time up north this past weekend because work has been back in the grind since I got back. The weekend spent at Lac. St. Jean in Metabetchouan was heavenly. We stayed with her grandparents and basically lounged around for 4 days, visiting with relatives and just taking it easy. We could have easily stayed there another week. One day, we will…
I had brought my laptop along and set up the digital pictures she had taken into a slideshow for easier viewing for everyone. 200 digital pictures. Plus another 200 actual photographs. I can’t tell you how many times I saw them, but they always continued to fascinate me. I can’t wait to go and visit NZ with her. Got something else to look forward to now 🙂
When we got back home late Monday night, I mailed out the latest newsletter for church and after unpacking we hit the sack (preceeded, of course, by a couple of episodes of Mad About You 🙂 ). At work, it’s been GO-GO-GO the entire time. Even as I manage to get 2 or 3 piles of paper removed from my desk, another 4 or 5 arrives. Ouch.
Chantale’s taking this week to continue relaxing at home, recovering from a bug she picked up at the Lac, and continuing with our Wedding Preparations. Can you believe that in 6 months we’re getting married?!! Wow! 🙂 She starts working at Scotia Bank in Westmount on Monday (the 17th) and it being RRSP season she’ll be quite busy. So it’s good that she takes it easy this week.
Personally, I’m still working on my LOMA 290 course and have Comicopia deadline to deal with next weekend. Chantale’s birthday is at the end of the month and Melyssa’s is a couple of days later. Then comes March break and I’m taking 3 days off that week to spend with the kids. I’ve finished updating my latest project with the church (a Member directory database) and now just have to install it and teach it to the volunteer secretaries. Speaking of church, the first weekend of March, I’ll actually be helping with communion! I’ll be the one who’ll be handing out the wine and reading the prayer of the day. Chantale and I have ushered at church before, but this is the first time I’ll be doing something this “special” / “religious”. Kinda cool 🙂
Well, I just got off the phone with Chantale. I’m hoping to be able to leave within the hour. It’s really cold and windy out there today but we do have an appointment to keep tonight – going back to The Bay to finish up our Registry there 🙂
You know, what with the state of the world and things around us, we’ve realized something truly important. We are very fortunate to have the relationship we do. That’s a very heart-warming realization 🙂
