Yay Kali!!

Everything is going good herr. Just ready for the next 3 days of fun.

The problem with four-day weeks is that, inevitably, they're exhausting.

And I lost my umbrella. I'm pretty sure I left it at my brothers, but he says no.

Anyway, so the forecast for the return home after work was for really gnarly weather. So, over lunch, I went and bought a new one. Of course, for the return home after work, there was not a cloud in the sky... but at least now I have an umbrella.

And three new cardigans. Ooops.

reason to believe

Wow, Sunny, that seems to happen to me all the time. Wanting to buy one thing and unexpectedly leave with a lot more items I didn't pre-plan.

I have 3 more days of work, then a week off, then one Monday then I'm off til September!

No idea what I will do cause I get bored after two weeks vacation!

sunnykerr

I haven't had more than two weeks of vacation in a row since... high school, I think. I don't remember being bored. Mind you, I don't get bored easily. Or I do get bored easily, but I just move on to the next thing quickly.

I don't have buyer's remorse about those cardigans, but I really have to think about my budget a little more.

Budgets are a pain

Tell me about it.

Why are Tasmanian Devils (real ones, I mean) so darn cute?

I can't believe that June is almost over

I'm glad it's about over. Have a great Canada Day if anyone of you celebrate it. I'll probably catch a movie on Independence Day this year. Around here a big deal is being made of the ban on fireworks in Vancouver, Wa since for so long people were able to light em off & it's 1 of Washington's biggest cities. That law changed this year & now there is a $500 fine fore anyone who risks doing that within city limits. Other smaller cities in Clark County though still allow em to be let off as well of course Portland if people just can't live without lighting off fireworks. Anyway, however you celebrate this time of year have fun!

Fireworks were gonna be banned here this year too because of extreme drought conditions but our rainy season started early and it's rained so much in the last 4 weeks, they lifted the restrictions so things will carry on as normal.

Montreal is two horus away from Ottawa, right? So we're having the same weather usually. And, today, it's rainy with a side order of possible thunderstorm. Happy Canada Day!

We were evacuated at work yesterday in the middle of the afternoon. And it didn't last long at all, so you know it wasn't a drill. Some moron in the hotel that's right beside our building probably lit a cigarette inside or something. So we had to walk down the six storeys and into the rain, only to have to come back, like, twenty minutes later.

Whatever concentration/motivation I had was already out the door.

Got back yesterday.

On the first day of my vacation I slipped and fell in a restaurant. Fell on water. Filled out an accident report. Told the manager I was fine. Everything was great didn't need medical assistance, however by Thursday I could hardly put pressure on my foot. Well, there are two locations to this restaurant and we called the first location thinking it was the location we were at, found out we had to call the other location. As I was getting ready my mom was making all the calls. Manager at the location I fell was extremely apologetic. The owner of the restaurant called my mom and she told us where to go in Lake Charles letting us know that the urgent care in Lake Charles was a good one to go to. They were paying for all medical procedures meaning xrays and what not. They also said when I got home if anything needed a follow up with Orthopedic they'd pay. I'm in a walking boot until further notice. My knee went on way, my foot the other. There could be a torn ligament that didn't show up on xrays. Ssoo that was the excitement of my trip. I did win money too, came home with about 350

A sprain is, by definition, a tear in a ligament. This is what I found out the first time I sprained my ankle. It's just a matter a assessing the severity of the tear and dealing with it.

Given that there are costs to do all that where you live, Mandie, I think it's pretty cool that the restaurant helped you out with that right away. I mean, I realize it must have been 150% motivated by a desire to avoid a lawsuit, but that's still pretty nice of them to not even hesitate, you know?

Sunny of course! And they were so quick to let me know which urgent care was the best to go to, to let them know if I needed anything and what not.. Even offered to pay my meds.

That sucks it rained. Hopefully you had a decent time yesterday anyway.
