Last post of this year??

So, Tyler just got me on the interweb...  We are pretty bored here at the airport.  We should be boarding now but our flight got delayed 45 minutes, so it's been a long wait.  There has been a few things to keep us occupied for shorts periods, but I will get to those later.  First, I must tell you about the long and boring day we have had so far.

Right on cue, I woke up at 6:30am, no alarm, no kitty, just from the training of getting up every day at that time.  I wasn't impressed at all.  Tyler said that if I just tried to go back to sleep, I could, but I know that wouldn't happen.  I was already out of that sleepy haze and ready to get going.

Tyler showered and I tried to look for some food to eat for breakfast.  It seems like we did a pretty good job at cleaning out the fridge as we only have butter, mayo, potatoes and a few other non breakfast items.  It was kind of sad.  I had toast with nutella.  It made me very excited for the week to come as there is almost always nutella on Boxing Day.  I'm very excited for the Christmas days ahead.  But first, we have to get home.

Tyler went off to work and I just kind of sat there, thinking of all the things we might have missed in the packing process, what we could possibly leave behind... all sorts of things were running through my mind. I was also trying to spend lots of time with Kitty as she is now at our friends place for Christmas.  I gathered all her belongings and put them by the front door so we could transfer her as quickly as possible when Tyler came home for lunch.

When Tyler did come home, we shoved poor Kitty in her taxi and brought her over.  She didn't so much like that walk.  And then she was stuck in the taxi.  It was all very sad.  I'm hoping she is doing alright now in her home away from home.

We waited around the house for a bit before heading off to the airport.  After seeing the wonderful weather that was outside, we knew we would be getting home tonight.  Tyler had a hot dog for lunch and I had some more toast.  Our home is old mother hubbard right now.

After getting checked into the airport, we sat there for about an hour before boarding.  It was very rough sailing and for the first time in my life, I my heart almost stopped due to turbulence.  It felt like we were literally falling from the sky.  And then we got to Port Hardy.

Once getting to Hardy, we were informed that the key to the fuel truck broke off in the ignition and therefore the plane couldn't refuel.  It seems like there will always be problems when I try to come home.    I don't like that trend.

We finally arrived in Vancouver.  We tried to check in but were told it was too early.  Apparently it's not safe to carry around luggage that's already tagged.  We didn't really understand that logic as we think it would be safer to have it tagged.  Any way, it doesn't matter.  We enjoyed a dinner at White Spot with our giraffe bags and it was all fine.

We past through security following a few people who probably have never flown before.  The girl ahead of me kept on her big coat and a bag around her shoulders.  And she had to fish for her laptop at the bottom of a different bag.  It was ridiculous.

And now we are sitting here, waiting for our delayed flight to come in.  Looks like we will be boarding at 10:30, getting us to Edmonton around 1am.  And then we have to make the drive down to Tyler's parents place.  But, once we get there, there is a very nice soft comfy bed waiting for us.  That's what driving me to not abandon this trip.  Actually, there is much to look forward to, but tonight, right now, that bed is something of an 8th wonder of the world to us.  We are super tired.

A few interesting things have happened to keep our minds stimulated.  There was a guy sleeping next to us that had a snore that would rival a bulldozer.  It was just amazing.  Tyler walked the halls to see how far away it could be heard.  In a noisy terminal, Tyler could hear it about 150 feet away.  And then a cat came around the corner.  It was a sweet cat who was slinking around, acting like it couldn't be seen because it was so close to the floor.  Pretty cute.

And now there is no snoring man as he woke himself up (or maybe it was because I was laughing at him), and no kitty to watch.  Just waiting for time to go faster so we can come home to the land where snow flies.  It's not Christmas out here.  Things are still green.

I played some pac man and solitaire while Tyler reads a new deer magazine.  I'm sure it's more of a hunting, shoot the cute deer type of magazine, but I always try to find the cute pictures of the alive deers.

I don't know what these next 2 weeks have in store, but I wont be blogging about it.

Merry Christmas!!

Sonja

Tomorrow

Well today I woke up tired again.  I don't know why I haven't been able to sleep good.  I was tired when we went to bed last night and didn't get to sleep until after midnight.  So that was kinda irritating.

I got up at 7:30 and started getting ready for work.  It was the last full day of work.  I got to work and had a few things to do but it didn't last long.  It was a long and slow day.  I did a few x-rays and took blood from 1 person.  It was my longest day this week.  The week started out pretty good because it seemed to go by pretty quick, but the last two days have been pretty slow.  I have four more hours of work until I am off for 17 days.  It is pretty exciting.

I came home after a long day and we went to go see some wolf/husky puppies.  They were really cute and I want one, but they will grow up to be too big for our place right now.  We came home from the puppies and made supper, trying to clean up the last of our food, so it won't go bad while we are gone.  After supper we started packing for our trip.  We are just finishing up some laundry to finish up.

The Oilers are playing tonight so I have been keeping tabs on the game score, they are winning 6-2 5 minutes into the third period.

But we are off tomorrow.  The weather forecast is pretty good.  Sunny with cloudy periods.  So it is looking like we will make it to Vancouver and then we are home free.  Maybe we will be able to get onto the earlier flight to Edmonton.  We will see.

Tyler

Longest day EVER

I don't think a day has ever lasted as long as this one did.  I'm not usually the type of person who wishes time away, but today dragged on and on.  It never ended.  I'm surprised I made it to the end.

It started out alright.  I had a decent sleep with only one Kitty interruption.  I showered, ate some fruit for breakfast and headed out to work.

I wasn't sure what my day had in store but I was pretty sure it would be dull and boring.  And I was dead on the money.  I had a bit of work to do but quickly got that done and was sitting around waiting for the phone to ring once again.  It was a long day.  I can't even explain how badly I wanted to just be home.

Not much else to say about the work day.  I finally got to come home and started dinner while doing the dishes.  It really showed off my multi tasking ability.  Kitty got a good show.  Tyler came home and we ate real chicken burgers.  We had to eat quickly as we had plans for the evening.

We headed over to our friends house for a game of phase 10.  We had to keep it short as I was tired and need to get some sleep.

We got home a little while and now I'm blogging.  I'm going to bed super soon and can't really focus any more.  I'm still super excited about coming home in 2 days.

Sonja

3 days

Today the wind was vicious.  It was super windy all night and all of today.  And it poured buckets.  I woke up an hour later than Sonja again and then started to get ready for work.  I got to work and it started out pretty slow.  It picked up later in the day which was nice because it made the day go by quicker since we are waiting for Friday.

Some surprising news though, the plane came in and it was absolutely miserable, so if it can come today when most people thought it wouldn't, I'm pretty sure we will be getting out of here on Friday.  Especially since the weather report is looking up for us today.  It went from 15cm of snow that was being forecasted yesterday, to cloudy with sunny breaks.  So good news for us.

I came home from work at 5 and settled in and Sonja got supper started, when I got a phone call from work calling me back in.  I went back in for a half hour or so to do an x-ray and then came back home.  We were invited over to some of Sonja's co-workers place to play games.  So we went over there at 7.  It was nice because we got to drive.  They lived across town and it was still miserable out.  We played a couple games.  One called Apples to Apples and the other one called Rummolli.  I didn't win any of them.  We came home and drove around looking at all the Christmas lights that people have put up.  Surprisingly there are a lot of lights up here, considering there isn't a Canadian Tire you can just go to to pick up anything you need.

Tyler

Long monday

Today was a gong show.  It didn't start out that way and it actually was looking like a pretty nice day, until I got to work.

First of all, I got up without Tyler.  I hate it when he is on-call because he gets to sleep an extra hour and it makes for a lonely morning.  I feel like we spend less time together when he sleeps that one extra hour.  It's ridiculous.

So I get to work to find that my co-worker is out sick and I'm the only office worker.  Okay, I can deal with that.  Then when I started to set up the transcribing system, it wouldn't work.  Again, I can deal with that by calling the RCMP help desk.  So I call them up and after being on hold for a few minutes, I get yelled at.  Apparently I called the wrong number and the grumpy guy on the other line kind of told me I shouldn't be calling this number and all this.  It put me in a bad mood.  So I called the other number and ended up talking to a pretty nice guy.  And while I was talking with him, a cup of tea was poured all over the desk.  That part was actually a little funny but the system still wasn't fixed.

Any way, the rest of the day was pretty boring.  Besides a few phone calls, nothing really happened.  A few people came to the detachment to have meetings which meant that the person telling me what to do all day, was locked behind a door all day... meaning I kind of did less then normal.  I was pretty bored so I was texting with Amy and counting down the days.  I also made my list of what to pack for the 2 week trip.

I am just so excited to come home.

Sonja

Tired day

Today was a tiring day.  I slept a little bit better last night.  I was able to sleep in until 9:30 which is always nice.  I got out of bed and got a call from work so I went in.  I was there for over an hour and then was able to come home.  I came home and we watched some of Dodgeball.  About an hour later I got called back into work.  Again I was there for about an hour before being able to come back home.  I came home and we went off to the store to pick up a few things we didn't get yesterday.  We heard there was another flea market, so we went.  It was the same as yesterday, but a little bit more tables of stuff.  We didn't buy anything today.

After the flea market we came home and I made some chicken balls for lunch.  I ate to many and have spent the rest of the day too full and tired.  Eventually I went and took a nap.  I was pretty tired and still am.  I woke up from my nap and we started to watch the Oilers play Vancouver.  It was a pretty boring game for us to watch, they were losing so after the second period we turned it off hoping that they would turn the game around.  They didn't and lost 2-1.

We are watching The Simpsons and I will make some popcorn as soon as I am done this.

We are excited to come home.  5 days left.  The weather is calling for scattered flurries right now.  As long as they aren't scattering at 12 when the plane comes in.

Tyler

Card night!

I woke up at about 5 and didn't go back to sleep.  I thought that if I went to the bathroom instead of just ignoring it, I would be able to get back to sleep and have a great morning.  I couldn't have been more wrong.  I just laid there, eyes not wanting to shut, wishing Tyler would stop tossing and turning.  Turns out, he had been awake since 3 for some reason and was a little restless.  It's annoying being awake when you just want to sleep.

Other then waking up too early, our morning was great.  We had made the grocery list Friday night so it was a nice relaxing morning.  Tyler had to go into work at 10, so we planned on going to the store once he got home again.  

And that's what we did.  We went to store and surprisingly found most items on our list.  We have to go back tomorrow because apparently, real chicken breast is not good enough for chicken burgers.  Tyler needs to have the mashed up chicken bits burgers that we always buy.  I would rather have real chicken but if that's what he wants, who am I to stop him.  

We came home, unpacked the food, and ate some breakfast.  There was a flea market at the hall today so we went to the hall to see if there were any possible Christmas gifts there.  There wasn't.  It was mostly just a used clothes sale with a few pretty cool things.  We entered a draw to win etched glass made by someone local.  It's this huge mirror with a really cool etching on it that I really really want.  We would buy one straight up, but they are pretty pricy for us right now, what with coming home and stuff.  So we will see if we win it a few days before Christmas.  

We didn't buy anything so we came home and cleaned the house.  We were having friends over tonight and one of them is allergic to cats, so we dusted, vacuumed and got rid of all the stuff that just seems to collect every where.  Our house is now ready for us to go on holidays too, so thats nice.

The day went pretty quickly.  We went to a craft sale at around 4 and bought a few really cool ornaments.   We will be bringing them home at Christmas to show off because they are just so awesome.  We just had to have them.  We also bought a pretty cool locally made tree skirt.  I'm looking forward to showing off these cool things.  I hope there is room in the suitcase for them.

After looking around, we came back home to eat some din din.  We had chicken burgers and they were so so good.  I love real chicken burgers.  They are so filling.

Our friends were coming over shortly after dinner was made so we got ready for them to arrive.  They showed up and we played another game of Phase 10.  Tyler won, the little Turkey.  I almost caught up to him but he pulled out all the stops.  Then we played Dutch Blitz.  It's a new favorite.  It was well received.  Another game with lots of laughs and the most ridiculous comments.  They just left and now it's probably off to bed.

Less then one week until we get to be home.  I can't wait.  Keep praying the weather holds out and lets us out of here.  There is nothing worse then when plans get messed up and the whole day turns into a gong show.  Trust me, I know.  At least this time, if things turn to crap, I will have Tyler's shoulder to cry on instead of no ones.  

The weather today was pretty decent.  Tyler went to the grocery store in his flip flops so I guess it was warm enough to do that, even though he said they were turning purple on the way home.  It rained a little and didn't for a while.  Kind of a blah day, weather-wise.    

 

Kitty is still coned.  Not much news on that front.  She still loves to sleep on my stomach at night, and I like it too.  She still loves to run around like a crazy person.  I'm going to miss her when we are home, but its a good thing we will be with family and friends.  I can't wait.

Sonja

1 week

Today I got to sleep in an hour because I am on call for the next week.  Unfortunately I was unable to fall back to sleep and take advantage of it after Sonja got up.  So I got up around 7:30 and got ready for work.

At work I managed to keep myself busy for the majority of the day which is always nice.  It makes the days go by quicker.  Especially since we are waiting and excited to come home.  At this time next week we will be waiting in the airport in Vancouver.  We are excited.

After work I came home and found that supper was ready.  We had a spicy chicken pasta kinda of a dish.  It was really good.  After supper we played some Mario Kart and I totally won.  I left Sonja in the dust.  It was fun mainly because she has been beating me the last few times we have played.  Sonja is now watching HGTV because house hunters is on.  I am trying to watch the Oilers game on a pretty terrible internet feed.  I don't know what the plan is for the rest of the night.  Sonja wants to watch Dateline and 20/20.  So we probably will.

Bedtime might come early.  I have to go into work tomorrow morning but not until 10.  So hopefully I can sleep in a bit and take advantage of the late start time.

One week until we come home.  The plane came in today which is a good sign, because it was kinda miserable and cloudy and rainy, so hopefully that pilot is flying our plane next week.

Tyler

8

8 more days till we get to come home.  So far, the weather network isn't being nice to us.  We've been watching it for the past little while, and it went from sunny to rainy/snowy on that day.  We keep hoping and praying that its nice enough to fly out of here.  Keep praying for us please.

Once again I woke up super super early.  Kitty was racing around and that's not a nice way to wake up.  I woke up around 4 and didn't go back to a full sleep.  The alarm sang its song yet again and we officially started the day.

After breakfast, hockey highlights and a good teeth brushing, we were both off to work.  My day started pretty boring.  I was filling out paper work basically to show that we did paper work.  It seemed like a waste of time but I got paid for it so I'm not complaining.  I was also texting with Amy the whole day, so that was nice.

Lunch came and went and we were back at work again.  My afternoon consisted of shredding, fixing the shredder, putting files away.  It was a long day.

This whole week has seemed to go pretty quickly, as it is already Friday tomorrow.  But today was very slow.  Painfully slow.  I'm just looking forward to going home.  I'm looking forward to each day we get to see family, friends and everything.  It's not coming quick enough.  I want to meet little Madison for the first time.  I think that might be the first thing I'm looking forward to.  And then everything else to follow...

We are both so tired again so it's probably early to bed.  Not sure why we have such bad sleeps... maybe it's the anticipation.

Just to warn you all, we probably wont be blogging every day over our vacation.  Don't be too surprised.

8 more days... and counting.

Sonja

9

I woke up kinda tired and didn't sleep well most of the night.  The time to get up came to soon.  We had cereal as usual.

Today work started out kinda busy which is nice, but as to be expected, it slowed down again.  So the rest of the day went by kinda slow.  It is finally over and is nice.  I came home and made supper.  I made cheese burger soup.  It was good, except by the time I was done cooking, and washing dishes, and eating it I was too hot to be comfortable.

After supper Sonja played some DDR and I called home.  Nothing seems to be new there.

We are now watching Shrek 4 and it is pretty funny so far.

9 days until we come home.  We are getting really excited.

Tyler

10!!!

So, right off the bat, I'm going to talk about how there is only 10 more days till we are on our way home.  I'm getting so impatient and it's putting me in a bad mood.  I just want to come home.  I just want to see our family and friends.  I want to meet little Madison.  Even though I want to come home, I also know that those 2 weeks are going to be crazy busy and go by super fast.  In a way, the anticipation is half the fun.  Probably not half the fun because I'm hoping our trip home will be the best time ever.

My day started out crappy.  Only 2 things happened that made that so, but still, it wasn't a nice way to start a Tuesday.  The first thing was that sweet Kitty decided to use my back as a scratching post, which woke me up.  She also decided to sit on my stomach and sleep right in the wrong spot.  Once the alarm was turned off, we hoped in the shower, ate some breakfast.  That brings me to the second thing that made my morning unpleasant.  After I finished brushing my teeth, I went to turn the tap off.  It was wet and my finger slipped, and my knuckle started bleeding pretty good.  It hurt a lot as there was already a wound there.

I got over that with the help of a hug from Tyler and soon I was at work.  My back was still hurting pretty bad so I asked Tyler to make me an appointment at the doctors office.  And then I went back to work.  Everyone at the office was dragging their feet today.  We all didn't sleep well last night.  I kept waking up every time I moved.  It was a tough long day.

After lunch, I went to my appointment and the doctor said that it was just tight muscles and gave me some muscle relaxing medication.  As usual, the doctor didn't really say much except it could be caused by the cold weather, the fact that I haven't worked out since I got this new job.  That made me really want to start working out again.  I shouldn't be in pain so I'm going to start doing more stuff.  Not sure what that looks like but it will happen.  I just have to make time for it.

I went back to work and soon the day was over.  I walked out of work and Tyler was waiting for me.  We were going to go to the cafe to see if there were any Christmas gift ideas.  After no success, we went to the band store to pick up tiny oranges.  Instead we ran into many other shoppers doing last minute shopping.

We didn't really feel like making a real dinner so we ate some leftover lasagna and sat down to watch the oiler game.  And we've been sitting ever since.  I stretched out my back and stitched, while Tyler played some games.

I'm going to bed pretty quickly as I'm super tired.

The weather was on and off today.  Raining and then not raining.  Not that exciting.

Kitty also is a turkey.  She has this new habit of running and jumping on the coffee table.  She usually slides on all the paper that builds up and it's pretty cute.  She also likes to sit on a little table we have beside our little couch, and usually in the morning, we heard the key bowl hitting the floor along with a bunch of other stuff we have there.  I love that Kitty.

Keep praying for the grand parental unit and the weather.

Monday seemed to come too soon and went by to slow.  It started early.  We got up and started to get ready for work.  We just had regular cereal for breakfast and then it was off to work.  It started pretty good.  The morning went by pretty quick and then it was lunch time.  I had left over tacos for lunch.  Sonja came home and joined me at 12.  She had hurt the muscles in her back somehow so I tried to rub them better.

I had to go back to work at 12:30 and then the afternoon drug on.  It didn't seem too busy.  I had a few things to do, but not to much.

I came home at 4 and started to make supper.  But first I had to wash the dishes that would be needed.  So I did that.  Then I started the lasagna.  It was delicious.  Extra meat, extra sauce and extra cheese.  It was really good.  After supper we watched Dexter.  It was so good.  Sonja was hyper-ventilating again.  One more episode for them tie up all the loose ends.

After Dexter we played a marathon game of Mario Kart.  We played all 32 tracks on it and Sonja ended up winning by 2 points.  We are now just relaxing and Sonja is looking for gift ideas for people to get her.  Mythbusters is on so I have been watching that.

Sorry the post is so late and short.  Only 11 days until we come home.  The 14 day trend forecast has sun and cloud for the 17th which is good.

Tyler

Cat nap

Today was a very nice Sunday.  I didn't sleep well as Mrs. Magoo Kitty decided to climc and fall off the dresser several times.

Tyler got out of bed around 8 and I follow at 8:30.  It was much earlier then I expected to get out of bed because we didn't go to bed until 1 last night.

And the day was great.  I cross-stitched and Tyler played a hunting game on his phone.  We watched a few movies on tv while we took it easy.  I became super tired from not doing anything all day, and I fell asleep around 3.  When I woke up, there was a kitty snuggled up to me and Tyler was taking a picture of us.

Then we ate a dinner of tacos prepared special by Tyler.  He makes a good meal.  I decided to blog early as I'm likely going to bed early tonight.  I'm still tired and I'm hoping Kitty doesn't  wake me up to often tonight.

12 more days till we are home.  I'm getting so excited that it's driving me crazy how badly I want to be home.  I want to meet Madison, hang out with friends and family, and enjoy a white Christmas.  There is no snow on the ground out here, just on the mountain tops on the mainland.  It doesn't even feel like December to me.  I miss december at my home.  All the decorations in their spot, the advent calendar missing only a few boxes.  Out here, we only have 2 decorations up.  One string of Santa clothing, and one string of Mrs. Clause clothing.  I guess since out walls are green our entire place is Christmas themed.  But I miss the regular decorations I grew up with.  Only a few more weeks till we get to come home.  Keep praying for good weather.

And for Opa and Oma.  I love you guys and think of you every day.

Sonja

Today was a relaxing day.  Unfortunately it started too early, and not because of work.  The cat was kinda annoying and thats what woke me up at 6.  I didn't really get back to sleep even though I tried.  I finally got tired of trying and got out of bed around 8:30.  Sonja joined me shortly after.  She worked on her cross-stitch and I started the shopping list.  We have to cut back a bit the next weeks so we don't have a ton of stuff in the fridge when we come home.  

We went to the store at 12 because thats what time the flea market was supposed to start.  So we went to where it was supposed to be and found that nothing had been set up yet.  This didn't surprise me as thats the way it goes around here.  So dejected we went to the store to buy our goods.  We found everything we needed.  We found out that there was a loonie auction/flea market at the church.  So we went home to drop of our stuff.  We had something to eat and then off to the auction at the church.  I don't really understand how it worked as there wasn't much organization.  It looked like a big garage sale with door prizes.  So we walked the ring and then came home.

We watched some TV and relaxed.  Sonja was tired so she went to take a nap at three.  She got up at 4 and came and laid with me on the couch.  We both fell asleep until 5.  We woke up and decided to make supper.  I took out some chicken and cooked it up.  We had chicken and bacon burgers.  They were super good.

Tonight since supper we have played a little bit of Mario Kart and are now watching the Oilers play St. Louis.  Still 0-0 near the end of the 2nd.  No plans for when the game is over.

Tyler

Oh 13 days until we come home.  It was sunny and gorgeous today, so hoping that it will be the same in 2 weeks.

Finally Friday!

It's finally the best day of the week.  Oh how I love Fridays.

Last night was the office Christmas party.  I wasn't going to go because Tyler couldn't, and who wants to go to a party without their husband.  I was convinced to go and the person who did the convincing didn't even show up.  But that's okay.  I walked down to the docks in the rain and waited for everyone else to show up under a roof.  Soon, one of the cop car pulled up and I jumped in.  Most of the people were going to the party on the seabus, as it was on another island, but I like to travel in style.  I went to the party on the police boat.

I was a little nervous of the ride for one reason.  This past week I have been reading all the old missing person files that have happened around this area.  Most of the people who went missing are presumed drowned as their bodies have never been recovered from the water.  So with that in mind, I climbed on the boat and was the only one to wear a life jacket.

We pulled up to the house where the party was, and I want to move in there.  It was the nicest, coziest palace I've been in for a while.  It had the feel of a small cabin but it was pretty much a giant house.

The party was pretty fun.  I was the only person who didn't have their spouse there, so it was a little sad for me.  The others made it fun though.  We played a bunch of games, ate good food and drank some good drinks.  There were a lot of laughs and I'm glad I went.

I came home at 1am in the morning.  I wasn't so tired but I cuddled into bed beside Tyler.  I woke him up by accident.  We talked for a little bit and went straight to sleep.  Or so I thought.  Apparently, I turned on the light in the middle of the night, and then a little while later, I started screaming at someone. I only found out about that this afternoon.

I was told last night that I didn't have to be at work till 1pm.  That was nice.  I got to sleep in and it was a nice change from waking up at 6:45am.  I woke up when Tyler got out of bed.  I got out of bed, played DDR, showered, ate something, looked at stuff on the internet and didn't do much else.  Tyler came home for lunch and I went off to work.

I typed a few statements and then didn't do much else there either.  It was nice to only work a few hours as there wasn't anything happening around that place.

I came home and started doing the pile of dishes.  It's always a hassle doing those by yourself, but soon Tyler came and helped finish them with me.  We also made a dinner of chicken burgers.  It was an alright meal.  I'm getting a little sick of those fake chicken burgers.  Real chicken is always best, but we didn't thaw any.

And then we did nothing.  I have started a new cross-stitch and it's turning out pretty nice.  Tyler is still studying for his FAC so we keep pretty busy at night.

I'm excited for the weekend.  There is a flea market tomorrow, so who knows what we will find.  I'm excited.  It should be a fun time.

Sonja

Also, Opa and Oma still need prayer from as many people who can give it.  Thanks every one :)

Cats gone

Well today the kitten left.  She ended up stinking up the bathroom in her short time staying here.  But now the bathroom is now cleaned up and de-stunk.  We are now down to one cat again, which is all I can handle.

Today I woke up around 6 and didn't really sleep to much afterwards.  Which is too bad because I get the extra hour and haven't been able to capitalize on it this week.  I got up and said good morning to Sonja and got ready for work.  I watched the highlights from the Oilers game last night.  They won last night which is always nice.  I wasn't able to see any of the goals they scored because it was in Montreal so it started when I was still at work and all the other goals they scored we were eating supper.  But it looked like it was a good game.

I went to work and found that it was actually busy.  I had some x-rays to do and there was lots of blood work to be done.  The morning went by pretty quickly because of that.  Soon it was lunch and I came home.  I had leftover turkey noodle soup for supper.  It was alright, but more of a gelatin.  It didn't re-liquify no matter how long I microwaved it for.  It might work if I add water to it.

The afternoon was the complete opposite as the morning.  It was pretty slow but seemed to go by faster than yesterday did.  Again the Oilers were playing, this time in Toronto so it was another 4 o'clock start. It wasn't on TV that we get, so I had to keep tabs on the internet.

I came home at 5 and made some popcorn chicken for supper.  Sonja is off at her Christmas party, so I am home watching TV.  I watched the Oilers highlights from the game.  They won 5-0, giving them 3 straight wins for the first time this season.

No plans for me tonight.  I will be watching the Office but that is about it.

Good day!

Today was an excellent day.  Well, the end of it was the best part, but I'll get to that accordingly.

Kitty came for a morning snuggle again this morning.  It's almost like she knows we are leaving in 2 weeks and wants all the time she can get with us.  I appreciate it because I love her so much.  Tyler hates it because he she isn't his favorite thing to wake up to.

I got out of bed a little before my alarm went off, which never happens.  I showered and ate my tastylicious breakfast, Multigrain cheerios.  They are just what I need in the mornings.

Once at work, I was looking forward to burning the rest of the purged files.  But it was raining.  And then it rained some more and a little bit more after that.  The only time it didn't rain was when we were all on lunch.

Since there are now 3 office workers, there isn't a ton of work for me to do.  The woman I replaced is kind of coming back to work, sort of, but she is still having issues to deal with, so I'm working on all those tasks that no one else wants to do.  But, today was pretty boring.  I wasn't given a lot of direction so when the other two were off talking, I was reading some police magazines.

And then a little sweetie pie came into the detachment.  Two people came into work holding a little kitten.  She needed a home just for the night and is getting shipped away tomorrow.  She is so cute.  Her name is Brand New Kitty.  She has the littlest voice and I don't think she normally gets a lot of attention because she already loves me.  She lives in the bathroom because regular Kitty doesn't appreciate cute things like I do.  Tyler and I gave her a bath so she is all clean but I'm worried about ear mites and other cat problems she might have.  So she is spending the evening and night in the bathroom.  We turned the heat up and gave her some blankets.  I have to change clothes and wash  every time I leave the cuddle room.  I don't want Kitty to catch anything.  Our kitty knows something is up.  She is acting like she is neglected but she really isn't.  We are giving her extra love to make sure she knows we still love her.

It's been a good day.  I have a little kitten in the bathroom who I'm only kind of in love with.  I don't think it will be too tough to give her away tomorrow.  I have a great husband who let Brand New Kitty have a comfortable sleep tonight.

Keep praying for the weather and for Opa.  More so for Opa because its more important that he gets healthier.

I'm the author of todays blog because I've been convinced to attend the detachments Christmas party.  I wasn't going to go originally because I don't like going to things without Tyler.  He is on call so he can't leave the island.  But, I'm going with my co-workers and they are pretty fun.

Any way, I have a kitten to attend to.  Kitten orphanage has it's first guest and I want her to have a nice visit.
