Stop, collaborate and listen...

It's like the weather hates Tyler. Every time he is on-call, it is beautiful and we can't go out and do stuff because he has to be close to the hospital. Today is no exception and the rest of the week will be similar. It's kind of funny to me, because this has happened every time he has been on-call. Every time. It's almost handy because now we know that next week will be cloudy. Tyler is our own personal almanac.

Today started out as every other. The alarm clock goes off and we just want to continue steeping. Tyler kind of changed it up a bit by setting the alarm clock to a song I hate. That got me out of bed and into the shower faster then normal. Some songs are just stupid.

Breakfast was a bowl of rice krispies mixed with honey nut Cherrios. It's a nice little combination. Then off to work where I already had a bunch of stuff to do. I don't mind going when I know I will be busy. Yesterday I started copying out a patient's paper chart. It was a huge chart. I could have finished yesterday but I was tired of doing it and plus, what's the rush? I finished that today and started to do some other stuff. I was busy, but not with anything interesting enough to remember. I know my co-worker didn't seem to be in a good mood. There was also a little disagreement about the air conditioner. I sit right by it and it blows into the side of a metal shelf. The cold air doesn't go any where so I freeze while every one else boils. I turn it off, and when I go on my breaks and come back, it's always on. It's a little frustrating but I can understand that people don't like being super hot. Perhaps I will bring a sweater tomorrow.

I got home before Tyler did. As is customary for people around here, they wait until about 5:00, right when Tyler is supposed to get off work, to come get blood work done. It's nice because then Tyler gets paid more to stay, but Tyler isn't a huge fan of having to stay late.

I got home and started playing a new DDR game Tyler bought me for our Wii. I danced to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby"....that's how awesome this game is. And I'm pretty much a pro at it so it makes it all the more fun. I have a DDR mat from earlier and we had brought that out here when we moved. It looked like it was going to be fun, battling each other with awesome dance moves...but the other mat doesn't work. For some reason, nothing registers so it's pretty much garbage. I played the game for about an hour. During breaks, I also made dinner. Tyler said he wanted chicken strips so that's what I made. I also threw some crinkly fries in the oven and started slicing up some carrots for a nice balanced meal. For the carrots, I was using a food slicer, one with a very sharp blade that I was being very careful around. Not careful enough, as I sliced a good chunk of my thumb off. It's not so bad but it bled a lot and we don't have any bandages. I made one out of packing tape and some cotton pads we have for cleaning stuff.

Tyler came home and we ate. It was pretty good, not the best though. It was my turn to do the dishes but Tyler said he would do it. It hurt when I stuck my shaved thumb into the hot water. I grabbed the cloth to dry but it hurt me too. It's the kind of cloth that is made up of micro-something and it grabs at loose skin. It pulled on the loosed flab of skin and, believe it or not, it was less nice feeling it then it is for you to read about it.

Since it is gorgeous outside, we went for a quick walk. It was breezy. We are now at home. As I write this, many things are going on in our home. Tyler hammered the internet cord against the floor to make it not so crazy and every where. The cat has an attitude, so she is bugging Tyler by getting annoyingly close to his face as he hammers. She started running around and being a little turkey. Tyler just took all the pop bottles into the storage room and as he was coming in, Kitty tried escaping. He pinned her to the floor and tossed her back inside. Then they played a short game of "cat and mouse", with Kitty being the mouse and Tyler being the cat, chasing her around the house. Tyler is now trying to set up his hammock on the deck. The hammock itself is to short so he has some rope that he will now try to make it an good height.

Tonight doesn't look to thrilling. Just a relaxing night with my husband. I love it that we are home together. It's no way to live without him.

We have figured out our Christmas plans. You might think it's a little early, but we have to plan ahead for flights and time off. We are looking into flying into Edmonton on December 18th and staying until January 2, 2011. Since Christmas falls on a weekend, Tyler doesn't have to take that much time off.

As said before, the weather is beautiful and the sky has only wisps of cloud in it.

We are looking forward to our second set of guests to visit this rock. Tyler's parents are coming out here on Sunday for the week and we hope the weather holds up.

Excited to spend some time with them!!
