Back to work from a long weekend

I’m all TV’d out here. It’s a new word I just made up.

Anne made us these sirloin burger’s in toast with bacon. She saw this while watching Rachel Rae. It was good but way to much meat. After that as she went to go get diet pop I had about an hour to myself before the Oiler game. Time for some Xbox 360 fun. I played that for awhile "Oblivion" and had a good time. Then I watched the Oiler game. They won 3-1 but barely.

So that was Family Day weekend. Not every Province has it. In Manitoba they celebrate “Louis Riel Day” on this day and they don’t have Family day in BC. In Manitoba their Louis Riel Day almost sounds like it should be their exhibition 10 days like when we had Klondike days here. Louis Riel was a great man in Canadian history. But the Family day weekend is all but over and I go back to work today.

Anne let Boots out of here Sunday night and hasn’t been able to find him out back here since. She’s been leaving him with dry cat food by the tree that Boots and “Carl” (our local wild rabbit) have been competing for. Most likely Boots is hiding under the utility shed out of the wind by Edmonton Housing here just to keep warm. If he’s out of the wind he’s ok.

Once my hockey game was done with I switched over to Monday night Raw just in progress. What a great show. On a scale from 1-10 Id rate it a 9/10.

Occasionally, as it so hot on this floor Anne opens the balcony doors pokes her head out and cries out for “Boots!” If he meows by way of reply means he’s ready to come in. She’s been doing this about every half hour……………2:10pm> I went to bed about 2:30am feeling exhausted and I listened to a bit of Coast but passed out. I think I woke up about 8am but not feeling tired. I decided to go back to bed and I woke up at about 12:30pm. Yikes. No closed office door means no Boots. I did a bit more reading and working on how to set up my RSS feed to take a few lines of my Blog and have it sent to my Facebook wall automatically. I’m pretty sure my Google newsreader has something to do with this.

I took my bsl reading earlier and I’m sitting at 7.6, which is where I usually like to be. Like I said, I’m going to do my mile walk when I’m feeling better and over this cold but tonight I'm on my on my way into the job and I’m going to check on a pedometer at the pharmacy on the way in. I’m sure that with all the walking I do like from out the door to the bus and from the bus to the train and into the office and back again is about a mile. If not and I walk back from Clairview station to my place will make up the difference. That and taking the stairs at the LRT.

I had a nice “long weekend.” Well 2 days isn’t really long but I’m not complaining. I could get used to having 2 days off back to back once a month, say like a Saturday Sunday type thing. But tonight it’s into the office get my 4 hours in and then home. Not much going on for now. I hope I can get to the half way mark of “Logos run” I’m trying to finish it this month.

Anyway, gang that’s all for now.
