A long day at the office

Today was a long day. Just one big long day that I am glad to be mostly over with. It wasn't a horrible day. I laughed a few times at work, got to eat fresh cherries that were picked from the tree yesterday. That is one giant perk about living out here - the fruit is usually only about a day old, the fruit that people buy from Bella Coola, not the stuff you get in the store. It's so tasty. I have eaten a large number of cherries over the past few days, and man, am I feeling it.

I woke up half an hour before the alarm was supposed to, with a full bladder. Not the kind of "full" that you can wait till morning to get rid of, but the "full" where you can hardly move and laying on your stomach hurts. It wasn't a great way to start a morning, but I guess it has to do. After a hot shower, I ate some toast with jam and when Tyler was ready, we played MarioKart. Tyler bought the game when he was back home and now that's almost all we do. I am expecting some cross-stitching from people from back home when Mom and Dad Jarrett come out here, so finally I will be able to do that again. I can't wait.

Any way, I went off to work in kind of a bad mood because Tyler had beaten me at every game we played. I'm just a little competitive and I hate loosing. But work was alright. I got to photocopy another patients chart. It's not so bad once you get the rhythm down. Plus it gave me something to do for about 2 hours. As usual, the morning went pretty fast but the afternoon took forever to end. I had been texting with Amy all day again. We were discussing baby names pretty much the whole day. Some good ones the were suggested, but I wont tell any one...I don't know if they will use some of the ones suggested.

I eventually came home and started on supper. I put together a noodle and chicken dish. It wasn't bad for being my brainchild (not sure if I used that term properly). I just played DDR for about an hour and now Tyler is playing his MarioKart. He can't get enough of it.

No plans for the night, I bet you are surprised to hear that. Might watch a movie later, or just continue to play this game. Does any one have any suggestions as to some movies we could watch. They have to be on DVD already, but any suggestions will be fine.

The weather was a little on the cool side today. Blue skies but not super warm. It's getting a little cloudy now, but it's still a nice little day out there.

Kitty was playing mouse with my ponytail. She would bat at it and get her paws all tangle up. It was pretty cute. She likes to play DDR with me. What I mean by that is, she runs under my feet as I am dancing...it could get ugly one of these days.

Only a few more days till the Jarrett's come. I talked with my boss and asked about them possibly being able to go to Klemtu, like my parents were able to. She said that it really shouldn't be a problem, so that is exciting that they have something to do on at least one day. I have also been trying to come up with a menu for next week...it's a little more difficult to feed 5 people then it is to just feed 2. I'm sure we will manage.

One more day till the weekend. I'm pretty excited for not having to go into work. I'm also excited that I will be coming home in a few weeks for a wedding. I'm super excited about seeing Penny get married and hanging out with friends and family the week before. It's going to be a really fun time!!! I can't wait.
