Well today is over and it is one more day until the long weekend. It started off really slow for me today. I was done all the start up by 8:30 and had no patients to collect this morning. Fortunately for me however it became a little bit more busy after lunch. It was steady and it felt good to be moving around and busy. No exciting events happened, no exciting stories from the ER.

After work I came home and found that Sonja was actually around. I was hungry and she started to make supper. We had another trial recipe which turned out good this time, it was spicy chicken spaghetti. It was good and filling. We have spent the rest of the evening relaxing and watching TV. I am trying to do some internet shopping, but unsure how the shipping aspect will work as it needs to be shipped via Canada Post. Bella Bella isn't on any UPS map or anything like that.

We are spending the rest of the night watching a movie. Hopefully tomorrow will be kinda busy so it will go by quickly for me and we can get to the weekend. Also flights on Pacific Coastal went down. Making it almost affordable to just go down this weekend, just to get out.

Ah, first day off work. It was splendid to get a day, other then the weekend, where I could just sleep until I woke up. The unfortunate part about that, was that I was wide awake at 6:30am, when Kitty was scratching at the door. Since I was awake and not getting back to sleep, I let her in. She was walking around to much and I didn't want her to wake Tyler up early, so I went into the spare room and laid down there. I heard Tyler get up and hop in the shower. I went to the kitchen and made scrambled eggs and bacon. It was pretty tasty.

Tyler went off to work and I did the dishes from last night. That didn't take too long and I soon found myself with nothing to do. I started the fun part of the day with a bit of DDR and then worked out a bit more with weights and stuff. It was a good time.

After I was done with that, I worked a bit on a cross stitching project before Tyler came home for lunch. I had some leftovers from a while ago, not sure when we had that meal but it was alright.

Tyler left for work and I read from that electronic book that I have. I also surfed the interweb and just relaxed. Nothing happened with me until my phone rang at 3:00pm. It was the RCMP and I had to go in for a shift. It's kind of sad how some people get drunk so early in the day. But, I went in and didn't even get to see Tyler which made me sad.

The shift went like it always does, with the drunk person sleeping the whole time. I came home to find Tyler laying on the couch. He said Kitty was laying with him and that he was sad that she left when I came home. He secretly loves that cat and wont admit it to any one.

Kitty was being silly all day. Sleeping on me, crawling on me, meowing and running around. She is so silly and I love her. She was just going through her "run everywhere really fast" stage of the night. She gets so loud when she does that. She also likes to rip apart the brown grocery bags we bring home. It's pretty cute but seriously, so loud.

The weather today was cloudy. At least, thats what I saw out our window. Tyler said it was sunny on the other side of the house, but I didn't see any of that.

It was a good day!!

We are going to bed shortly.

Well last night I was super tired and couldn't keep my eyes open so I went to bed just before 9 and fell asleep right away. I put some ear plugs in so the cat wouldn't disturb my sleep. It worked awesomely and I was able to sleep very well all night and not hear the cat. I woke up rested and started to get ready for work. I got to work and it was kinda busy for a few hours this morning. All of the doctors are around so it has picked up a little bit this week. After coffee however it slowed down, still not as slow as it was last week.

It rained most of the day so we were hoping for it to clear up so we could try walking down to the ferry. It cleared up after lunch for a bit, but by the time supper came around and we were ready to go it started raining. We decided to wait for a bit and let it rain itself out. It did so we left a few minutes later. We walked along the shore for about 15 minutes until it started pouring on us again. We decided to turn back and we came home. We have spent the rest of the night watching Talladega Nights and I made some popcorn. Now Minute to Win It is on while we wait for America's Got Talent. No real plans for the rest of the night. Sonja is excited to not have to go into work tomorrow.

Second last day!

So last night wasn't a treat. Kitty was bugging us from around 5-7am. And that wasn't a great way to wake up. Luckily, it didn't severely hinder how the rest of the day turned out.

We got up and showered. Tyler made some pancakes, which were really good. Then we just went to work. My day went pretty quickly even though there wasn't much for me to scan. Or do. I did laugh a bit, which was nice. I did spend almost an hour on the phone trying to fix a computer problem. It was a little annoying. I was volun-told to call the medical system's call centre to fix a problem that really didn't have anything to do with me. In all reality, not much concerns me at work these days, it being my last day tomorrow and all. But, I did my best and, after an hour on the phone, I went for lunch. The person on the other end made it easier to sit on hold and put up with him not really knowing how to help me. And then, when I went for lunch, he figured out how to fix the problem. It was pretty easy on my end.

The work day ended and I came home to the smell of dinner being cooked. Tyler made home-made mac and cheese. It was super tasty. I could eat that every day. Tomorrow is my last day of work at the clinic. I doubt much will happen, as is the trend there. I am still excited about it. I got a little nervous about it today because I know what I will be doing for the majority of the time, but then there is the time where I don't feel like reading, or dusting or what ever else I plan on doing. I know I will find stuff to do, but I just got a bit nervous. I do still have the RCMP, so that is pretty awesome.

Tonight, we were supposed to walk to the ferry, but surprise surprise, it started to rain and now we can't even see the Coast Guard. Its pretty rainy out there. So, instead, we did nothing. I did some cross-stitching while Tyler did his own thing. We are working our way through the 21st season of the Simpsons. It's kind of a waste of time, but, come on, it's raining.

We will likely go to bed early because we know Kitty will be scratching at our door at 5am. One more day of work.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

Relax

Today was a nice relaxing day, I got to sleep in which isn't something I usually get to do while I am on call, so that was nice. After we got up Sonja made us pancakes for breakfast. They were very good. Shortly after breakfast I got a call to go to work. I was there for about half an hour and came home. Today was a nice relaxing day. We watched TV and a few movies. We watched Liar Liar which I haven't seen for a long time so it was pretty funny. We made some lunch and tried to clean up some leftovers from the week. Trying to clean out the fridge. After we had lunch we did the dishes and spent the rest of the night snacking and relaxing on the couch. I spent some time in the hammock before the breeze got to be to cold. We just finished watching Shutter Island. It was alright I thought. Sonja thought it was scary, but it really wasn't. Soon it will be bedtime. Tomorrow We are going to try to go to the ferry where the salmon will hopefully be running. It should be cool if they are.

That was our day.

Tyler

Today was a great day. Because today is Saturday and because I got to sleep in.

Last night, Kitty kept us up all night, so it wasn't a great sleep, but I woke up at 10:45. It was really good. I could have even slept more, but that would be ridiculous.

Tyler had to go to work pretty early but I was still asleep, so it was alright. And then nothing. Today was a pretty boring and uneventful. We ate some breakfast, lunch, made out or menu for this week. Then we went shopping. As we were paying, I heard the sound of a tiny little puppy. I went outside to investigate and there he was. A sweet little yellow lab pup tied to the back of the delivery truck. He was oh so cute and I wanted to take him home. Tyler wouldn't let me and I think Kitty wouldn't want to have a friend. He wasn't one of the strays that run the town so the person who actually owns him probably would have missed him. I only take other peoples cats.

We came home and unpacked out groceries. Tyler went out fishing and I read my new book reading thing. There aren't many good books on there. Most of them are really tough to read because they don't make much sense. I'll try harder to read them in a few weeks when I'm super bored. Tyler caught 5 fish and he was only out there for about half an hour. When he came home, it was time to start supper. We made Classy Chicken, one of the best meals ever invented. As we were eating, Tyler yells, "WHALE!", and right close by, a humpback whale showed us his back and tale. He was super close. He was going away from us, so he only got smaller but it's still always cool to see one.

As we were out whale watching, we saw the RCMP boat and as they docked, they bought off a prisoner. I was expecting to get called into go guard, but it never happened. They always seem to call me over the weekend. I'm kind of glad they haven't called me yet because I'm a little tired and would like to spend some time on a weekend night with Tyler. It still doesn't mean I wont get called, but at least for right now, I'm still at home.

I made a great smoothie earlier today for a little snack. I threw in the usual strawberries and banana, but also added peaches and blueberries. It was so good.

Tonight looks like it will be pleasant. Just more relaxing and hanging out with my main man. I recently (yesterday) had a little discovery about myself and . Just for some lead-up, before we moved out here and before I knew I would have a summer job, I was a little afraid. I always said that I would have nothing to do out here, and that I don't think I would like it at all because I'll be bored. I thought I would be a depressed having to quit my two jobs that I worked hard to get and move out here to the middle of nowhere and do nothing. My discovery was this: I was crazy! I am, right now, looking at 2 more days of working at the clinic. I was thinking about how excited I am to be done with this job. I don't enjoy office work, looking at computers all day, doing things I didn't go to school for. This was a job that I didn't enjoy. Not enjoying it has made me really appreciate the time I'm going to have off soon. I no longer look at myself doing "nothing" out here like I use to. I no longer see it as a waste of time to sit at home, mainly because I don't plan on just sitting around all day. I have plans that I never thought I would want to do. I'm actually excited about cooking dinner for us. I'm kind of excited about cleaning the house, and doing laundry. I'm going to be a house wife and I'm actually excited to be that. The time at this current job has given me appreciation for the time I'm about to get. I have only started to realize what a blessing this is. I do know I will get bored on some days. I know I wont enjoy doing the house work all the time. I'm not disillusioned to think it will be flowers and glitter all day, every day. It will be hard for me to not have a job. Not including this last one, a job is something I've always strived to have. I went to school so I could have a good job. But, I figure if I can look at it more as a blessing rather then with the negatives, I will be able to fully enjoy this opportunity.

Well, nothing is planned for us tonight. Hope you all enjoy your Saturday night.

It's the weekend

Well today is finally Friday. It has been a long week. Probably because it was so slow all week. Until today. It was still kinda slow, but had picked up substantially. The day started out quite differently. I had an x-ray to do in the ER. It was just a shoulder that I had to do. So I did them and her shoulder was completely dislocated. So it was an interesting start to an otherwise slow day and week. After the x-rays were done the day continued to be slow. However it was still busier today than any other day this week.

After work was done we came home and I made some supper. We had burgers, Sonja had a chicken burger and I made some deer burgers. I have been trying to make them so that they don't fall apart and dry out. So this time I put mayonnaise in the mix. It worked out pretty good. It was moister and didn't fall apart. Still wasn't perfect but I'm getting the recipe down. Soon they will be delicious. After supper we went for a walk. I was told to come check out someone's smoke house so we went to see it. They had just finished smoking another batch so it was empty. I told him that I'll be back when it was full again. He also showed us all the salmon that they have canned in the last week or so. Their canning pot can apparently hold 5 cases of jars at once!! We were sent home with some smoked salmon and a jar of canned salmon. The smoked salmon was really good but the canned stuff has yet to be tried.

We are home now and are just going to relax and watch some Simpsons. Just a few interesting facts that I discovered. Since Monday we have got 106mm of rain, which for everyone who doesn't know how much that is it's 4.1 inches in the last four days. Since we have been here there has been here in may there has been 348.5mm of rain or 13.7 inches! The weekend looks to be pretty nice, not hot but nice and the sun will be out. It will counter out the week of rain we had.

Thats all for me.
