Sat through a quite exciting day of classes yesterday: Financial Accounting and then Beginning Mandarin. The latter will actually be interesting once we move beyond pronunceations into learning actual words/phrases.

Today I'm sitting at my job (bank teller) wishing I was out riding or playing Halo 3 instead

Today I went to the doctor for a follow up assessment. I am still off work until the end of the month. That is both good and bad....The good is that I can still have all my time to myself....the bad is that it means I'm not improved enough to do anything strenuous yet and I am still on limited income from LTD.

I then got some pumpkin ice cream. Yummy.

Some car cleaning people are coming over today to clean the inside of my car. I loaned my car to a friend for a few weeks so they could get out of town in a hurry. They had a bit of a crisis....her Dad had a stroke and then passed away. They travelled with their dog in the back seat so now the car has dog slobber on the upholstery and the car smells like a dog. peeeeyewwwww. My friend is paying for the cleaning.

Everyday in my work truck I drive past a condo complex, and parked outside on the side of the street are two bikes. One is a 650 BMW Dakar, the other a Honda CBR 600 RR. Today when I went past, the CBR was on it's side in front of an empty parking space. It looks like it got clipped as a car was leaving...

Not something nice to wake up to for that rider...

I got stuck in an elevator during a power outage today. My facility has rather large generators that are supposed to kick in almost instantaneously, you normally can barely tell there's a problem. This time it took nearly a minute for things to come back up. Let me tell you, it gets DARK in an elevator shaft.

Did that minute feel like an hour?

Nah, I pulled the PDA out of my pocket, turned it on, and used it as a flashlight to find the emergency call button. By the time I told the operator that I was stuck, the lights had kicked back on. Thirty or so seconds after that the elevator started moving again, and I GTFO of there at the next floor.

Had alarm set for 9:30 today to apply for jobs and such down here... (No, I'm not lazy, just looking for night jobs, was up til 3 looking for jobs last night) Woke up at 10, knowing that thanks to the cell phone, power was out...
Looked around, and on the door to my 5th wheel was a note "Just found out power will be cut at 8 this morning, will be out for 10 hours. City didn't let us know til now (7:30)"
So yeah, I spent a decent amount of time in the car driving around, but when I came home, power wasn't still on, fridge was barely still running, and no A/C... Bleh
Coming from Colorado, it's hot down here WITH the A/C...

Now power is back, so I have A/C, music, and computer again! yay!!!

Got off work today and actually went for a short walk...

OMFG!!!! What the h3ll got into me???

I actually must do this a bit more often, I'm blimping up and if I don't curtail it now, I'll look like William “The Refrigerator” Perry...

Have to buy B'Day present for my Great Nephew's first B'Day...

Also may as well pick up a gift for the Toy Run this Sunday...

Have to have a nap before I hit the party bus tonight...

I spent the last three days taking photos....now I'll spend the next few days taking ibuprofen.

It was worth it though. The Nicola Valley in BC is cattle country. Rolling hills, fall colours, horses, lakes, history., etc.,
Now I have to process my images to decide what to keep, what to toss out, cropping, editing., etc.....

But first....a cup of coffee.

Woke up, got outta bed, dragged a rake across a ton of gravel in my driveway. That was fun!
