Weekend Cometh

Friday started as any other.  Tired and just ready for tomorrow morning, when I don't need to get up and not on call, so I don't need to worry about the phone ringing.  The sun actually rose today.  There weren't any clouds this morning, so I was actually able to see it come over the mountains.  It turned the sky pink and it was pretty cool.  Something we don't get to see everyday.  On the walk over to work I noticed that there was a pretty solid layer of ice on the car.  Winter is here.  I was told that its going to be a cold winter out here.  There is also flurries already in the forecast for next week.

The day was pretty slow.  Our new analyzer was already giving us some problems, so we had to call the service guys so they can come and fix it.  That was as exciting as my day got.  It was alot of little things that needed to be done.  It seemed to drag by today, compared to the rest of the week.

I came home and Sonja and I both forgot to take some meat out of the freezer for supper.  So since it was too late to take meat out then, we decided to go to the store and buy some food we could just throw in the oven and cook.  We settled on poutine and chicken burgers.  Nice and simple and delicious, just the way a Friday night meal should be.  After supper we saw a train barge float on by.  It's just a barge carrying a train instead of the usual cargo.  It was pretty cool.  Only the second one that we have seen go past here.  Also I tormented the cat and made her hiss at me.  Usually she just gives up when I play rough with her but today I laid her on her side and she was immediately upset with me.  She let out a big long meow and then things just got worse from there.  I started just even petting her and thats when she hissed at me.  I don't even remember the last time a cat hissed at me.

I called home and talk to mom and dad for a half hour.  They are leaving for 2 weeks in Hawaii tomorrow, so I thought I should say my good byes.  I hung up the phone and came back to the living room with Sonja.  We heard meowing outside again.  We hadn't seen the baby kitten for a long time and heard it meowing out there.  I took the flashlight out there and looked for it.  It was left on the beach for some reason.  I think it probably fell.  I climbed down there and tried to catch it to bring it back to where its mom has been hanging out, our deck.  It was easier to catch than I thought it would be.  I brought it back up to the deck and we fed it.

We are now watching Crazy, Stupid, Love and relaxing for the rest of the night.
