Finally Friday.  I woke up kind of rested this morning, which was weird because I didn't get to sleep until after midnight.  It must have been my floor nap last night.  I went into work and was cold by the time I got there.  It was below zero and the wind was ripping down the channel from the north.  So it went through my hoody pretty quickly.  I don't usually wear a coat to work because it is only a 30 second walk until I am there, so there isn't much point.  Plus the winter is pretty balmy to what we are used to.

Today was slow, as I could have predicted when I woke up.  People here are pretty soft when it comes to cold weather.  As soon as the temps dip below +5 the down winter jackets, toques and mitts come out.  So with the wind howling and temps below zero, people just seem to shut themselves in.  So with the lull in activity, I was able to get some studying done, on top of the other daily tasks and make work projects that I found.  The down side to being able to get some studying done is that the day seems to drag by a bit and I find myself growing increasingly more tired.  The good news is that I only work until 4.

4 o'clock rolled around and I came home to Sonja.  We went out to make sure that car starts and rock it off where it is parked so we will be able to leave this rock in 32 days.  It fired right up and nothing was seized up or frozen except for the wipers, which are easy enough to unstick.  We came back in and had supper.  It was leftover night.  Nothing new and exciting to eat.  Just cleaning out the fridge so we can start all over again next week.

After supper we played a few rounds of yahtzee.  They were the last rounds that I will play.  I am sick of losing that game to Sonja.  She has won the last 9+ games so it really is no fun.  But while we were playing we had some candles burning.  Kitty decided she wanted to jump up onto the table and play yahtzee with us.  However with her forcefield on 'the cone' she knocked over one of our candles, sending hot wax all over our coffee table and almost the floor and us.  At lunch I was saying we should change her name to Dozer because she never looks where she is walking and will just walk through whatever happens to be in front of her.  After tonight, I think that is officially her new name.

I am glad its finally the weekend.  I have been pretty exhausted this whole week for really no reason.  And now I can sleep in.  Plus we have a pretty sweet breakfast planned.  Sausage mcmuffins.  So I have no plans for tomorrow.  I don't need to wake up for anything, I can study a bit in the afternoon and just relax.  I am pretty excited.
