So, I have to start this blog with something that I did Sunday. I was really ambitious with my lunch and I decided to make a fried egg on a bagel. I have seen my Dad do it so many times, that I thought it would be easy. Wrong! It turns out that watching someone fry an egg and then trying to copy what he does is the worst idea ever. I kind of ruined my lunch. I'm not really sure what went wrong. I cracked an egg into the fry pan and put some cheese on it. And some how, in a pretty short amount of time, I ruined my lunch. The egg didn't fry like my Dad's always did. It made me sad. But it also made me remember those mornings when I would walk into the kitchen and my loving Dad would ask if I wanted a fried egg with gouda melted in it. Maybe that was the difference - I used cheddar, not gouda.
As for today, it was another day of beautiful scenery and a full day of work. I don't think I will ever get use to the view. It's just so beautiful here. After another regular morning, we were off to work. My day started normal enough. The last few days, I had been moving around all the files to make more room in the file room. I made about 2 and a half drawers empty and that was pretty fun. So, today I had to relabel all the drawers.
For lunch, I had a bowl of cereal. I was extremely unmotivated to make any thing real so it was the best I could do.
I got back to work with the promise that I didn't have to answer the phones or really do much else all day. I got to take an online course to better prepare myself for working in the job I have. I really thought I would get a good chunk of it done today, but then something came up.
We were notified of a dog that didn't look so good. It looked like it was hit by a car. And we had to decide wether or not it was fit enough to be sent down to Vancouver or if it had to be put down. And I guess when the guys went to go load it into the truck for the one way trip up Mountain Road, the dog walked to the food dish and didn't look too bad after all. But after talking with it's owners, it was determined that it was too injured to send out. He was brought to the detachment and was given a shower. For the rest of the afternoon, we were getting sad faced family members coming and saying their last good byes. It was awful. I didn't go near that room of tears because I didn't want to get too attached to this dog. It's too sad. And, since there was lots of conversations and people all around, it was soon time to go home.
I didn't get to work out today because I thought it would be rude to be running right beside a grieving family. I came home to find Tyler working on the dishes. I joined him, thinking how lucky I was that I didn't have to wash. We both hate washing because it turns our hands into prune hands. And Tyler hates it when I get prune hands because I sing the Prune song for a long time afterwards. I happen to love the Prune song. And I will now let everyone in on the Prune song lyrics:
No matter how young a prune may be, he's always full of wrinkles. A baby prune is like his dad, but he's not wrinkled half so bad. We've got wrinkles on our face, a prune has wrinkles every place.
My parents use to sing that to us when we would get out of the bath because we had stayed in there for so long that we were all wrinkly. I love that song!
We had BLT's for supper. Actually, there was more then just the BLT on our bagels. It was a really good.
And then I called one of my dear friends. I got to talk with Joni for about 2 hours tonight and it was a really good talk. We talked about pretty much everything and it was awesome to talk to a good friend again.
And now we are kind of settling down for the night. Dancing with the Stars is on and even though I kind of think the results show is a big waste of time, we will watch it. I would cross-stitch but I'm getting tired and Tyler is sitting by our lamp, so it would be tough to see what I'm doing.
I still don't know what is going on with my job. And I don't think any one knows, which is super annoying but at least I've been blessed enough to have a job up until this point. May is coming pretty quickly and someone is going to have to make a decision soon or later so it's nice to finally be getting some sort of answer.
Kitten was really good last night and didn't wake us up but I know we are both still tired. Tyler has a final exam tomorrow, so send up prayers for him to get a restful sleep and enough time to study tomorrow at work.
I don't think I left anything out... but I'm sure I will think of something later.
