Lost track of time...


Lost track of time doing errands today with Christine... We are late for dodgeball! Going to eat some sheppards pie and then take off...

The more observant of you noticed that my car isn't in the driveway. It's in the shop. My parents are gone for two weeks so I borrowed their car so I could take min in to be fixed. Yay.

weekly photo


It was my birthday yesterday. Christine arranged for some family and friends to joing us at The East India Company restaurant in beautiful downtown Ottawa. It was buffet style Indian food and it was great! They, for some ridiculously strange reason, didn't have samosas. So we bought some today.

Living

It's been great living in the new house! I really love living with Christine. I would venture to say that it's more... Private than living at my parents' place. It was nice being back home for a while but I'm remembering how much I enjoyed living on my own. Well, living on my own with the bonus of having Christine here with me.

The whole area is under construction but I've already gotten used to the rumble of bulldozers going back and forth down the road. After dropping Christine off at the bus station this morning I found myself watching them fill in around foundations and leveling of an area for the section of houses going in next to us. I wondered if I went and asked all the drivers if I could drive one for a bit if any would let me. I know that it is extremely unlikely due to the fear of litigation that is ever present in our society now. Too bad. I bet in the fifties they would have let me because it builds character and if anything went wrong all I would have to do is duck and cover to stay safe.

We get our living room table this Saturday so the house will be complete enough to give a photo tour. So keep your panties on. You will see the inside soon enough.



Work has been pretty busy. We have two new guys but we lost 2 staff members. So we've pretty much balanced out in terms of people working. Problem is that we lost Ian and he was the VoIP guy in the office. So we have somewhat of a hole to fill where that aspect of the Talkswitch product support is concerned. Blah. It's been really tough getting the move done and working at the same time. I feel like I've lost so much sleep that there is no hope of recovery. We have two people on vacation for the next week so I suspect we will get our asses handed to us over the next week. We'll see. I'll let you know if I'm still alive next week.

Weasel!!!

Christine and I were getting ready to watch CSI: Miami and I hear a squeaking and som scratching sounds. Christine tells me she hear something similar earlier in the morning. Suddenly something comes out from under the storage room dorr and runs right at me... It was a weasel!


There is a huge field behind us so we expected mice at first... but this? This little guy was awesome. It took us 30 minutes but we tricked him in to running up a tube that led to a box. We took some photos before letting him go.

All moved in

So...We're all moved in. Sadly I was preoccupied so it never even occurred to me to take photos during the move. I even forgot to take the weekly shot. So yeah. I suck. I will have pictures once the mess is put away.

Got the house!


It's been a busy week. We got the house on tuesday. Awesome. Christine, her sister Tania, her Mom and her Mom's friend painted the house on Wednesday and Thursday. They got the whole first floor painted and and the master bedroom. It looks great! On Friday my Dad and I painted the main stair case from eleven in the morning until about four thirty. I don't paint very well but it still looks amazing. We also installed the dishwasher and various other things over the weekend while my Mom and Christine worked on painting the basement. The painting goals we had set have been met. All we have left is the ensuite and main bathroom as well as the office and guest room. We decided that we just wanted to take care of the main parts before moving in and then other rooms could come after. I will take a bunch of photos of the house once we have moved in put all our shit away.

Thanks for all the help everybody!
