Haggling makes me tired, but it must be done. The retirement party is only a few days away and I am back and forthing with the hotel. Called Lynn for some advice, and she’s helping me out tomorrow once I fax her the stuff.
Went to pick up the car this morning and missed the ferry [...]

The day went pretty smoothly. Got the report out a bit earlier today than usual. With less harriedness, too. Got back my Sociology mid-term paper through the mail, and was more than a little bit shocked with the very high mark on the front, along with words of “Excellent job”… was this the very same [...]

After a much-needed lie-in, I set about continuing the PowerPoint presentation that I started last night and worked on until the wee hours. I’m making a slideshow of all the photos I’ve collected of Ross and Lee from all different sources and basically digitizing a chronology of their lives. I’d rather be playing with the [...]

Picked up Cheryl from BC Women’s Hospital (an unexpected overnight stay) and took her to Surrey, where my dad, Allan, and Alvin were with the kids. We fed them lunch and packed them up to take them to what has become my favourite place to take the kids: Science World. They have something for everyone, [...]

Stong’s sent along a bunch of flowers with their first delivery! Lovely! Now let’s see how Green Earth Organics goes…
I bought loads of Lindt chocolate last night to take to the office tomorrow. After finally handing in that Psychology paper I went and bought a card for Kevin’s family and enough chocolate to sink a [...]

The next few days are going to be brutal. Things have happened recently (not to me) that throw a big wrench in what is already a mad schedule for the next week and a half.
I am so dreading going to the office on Friday.

… I just phoned to give them my credit card information for online delivery, and it turns out their delivery drivers have a POS machine, so I can just do that when they get to the door. Purrr-fect! Because that’s the one problem with preauthorized credit card transactions — if you want to change your [...]

… but working from home. Finished the creature called The Global Outlook Presentation that will be given in New York next week and finally e-mailed it off to Brussels this afternoon. The conference co-ordinator based there thinks I don’t ever sleep. I think she’s not the only one.
Made great strides into Psychology paper, which I’m [...]
