Moving offices anyways. I have just found out that I get to move to an empty office across the hall, so I will have my very own office! It’s one of the kinds with the L-shaped desk coming out from the wall and a few chairs for guests. I will also have my own filing cabinets and my own window! And I will have a door I can close if I need to. I am SUPER excited! WOOOOHOOOO! I will be one of only 4 people here who has my own office like this, and the other 3 are managers. I am moving up in the hierarchy. Yay!
Other than that, it’s been a crazy-busy week with work. I’ve been working a lot of extra hours, but that’s alright. Extra money of time off, so it all works out.
I had a great time at Ozzfest with nej. Both Disturbed and SOAD were amazing! I am so glad I went. Great show.

Whirlwind week!
Well, I got through my really long week at work. I ended up working from home on Friday, which was really nice. I think I will have to do that more often.
Saturday, I had to work during the day and then I went to a party in Orangeville with CT to visit his friends. I had a really fun time, up until the point I started doing shots of rye. So, of course, I spend the next couple of hours in the bathroom. Not pretty. But, oh well, I guess I just can’t drink like I used to. Lesson learned ;)
This is going to be another busy week at work. I have so much work to do and not enough hours in the day to do it in! Tomorrow, I am going to Ozzfest with the nej, so that should be a nice little break from working. I think I will spend most of the rest of the week working, so I am looking forward to the outing tomorrow with nej.
I totally can’t wait until things calm down at work. But, at least I am getting lots of overtime hours, which I can either bank for time off or get paid for. Yay for paid overtime!

This is going to be a killer week!
I am so incredibly busy at work this week. We are doing some public meetings this week, which means, I need to work Thursday evening as well as on Saturday. I will probably end up working 52 – 55 hours this week :S The good news is that I will have some overtime to bank so I can take the time off later without using my vacation days (I am saving those for the trip CT and I are taking in October).
So, needless to say, I can’t wait until Saturday evening rolls around. Then this crazy week will be over.
I had a really good weekend. Went to see “An Inconvenient Truth” with my mom. It was really good! Very similar to the book, but definitely worth seeing. Very eye-opening.
Saturday, I went to watch CT in a baseball tournament and I was quite impressed! He’s quite good. And he had the best-looking fan section ;) On Sunday, it was so bloody hot that we just stayed in for most of the day trying to stay cool.
I have my second physio appointment tomorrow. Should be good. He gave me some exercises to do this past week, and I can see improvements already. When I first started, I could only do maybe half of the reps. Now I can do them all, although it is difficult. I will keep working hard and see if he notices a difference tomorrow!
Man, is it time to go home yet?!? Nope, 4 hours of work still to go… darn.
Edit: My ears bleed! The Leafs just acquired Mike Peca, whom I absolutely dispise. Sheesh!

Physio went well
So, I had my first physiotherapy appointment last night. I went to someone who was recommended to me by a friend. I went for an assessment and it went pretty well. He was very knowledgeable and really seemed to know what he was doing. He said that the problem is that my hip flexor and gluteus medius are really weak. He said that this is an easy problem to fix, should take a couple months and I’ll be back to normal. I am still hoping to be able to do a tri of 2 this summer, they will just have to be little ones, the Cobourg give-it-a-tri and the Wasaga Sprint are the two I am aiming for. I’ll have to wait and see how I am doing in a couple of weeks with the physio.
So glad tomorrow is Friday. It’s been a long week. This weekend, I will be pretty busy. Tomorrow evening, my mom and I are going to Scarborough Town Centre for a little shopping (I am broke, but am in desperate need of some summer clothes, so I want to go to H&M and Old Navy). Then, we are going to watch “An Inconvenient Truth”. I have read the book and I am so excited to see this movie. The closest to me it is playing is in Toronto, so we are making the trek there to watch it.
Then on Saturday, I am taking Smokey to the vet to get his Rabies shot and then I am going to watch CT in a baseball tournament. Should be good. We are then having dinner with his parents on Saturday evening.
On Sunday, CT and I were planning on going to the Toronto Zoo, but it sounds like it may be too hot for that. We will wait and see how we feel then. May have to postpone that trip until it’s not so hot out. All in all, it will be a busy weekend!

Why is it that the workweek always drags on by and then the weekend goes by like a flash?
I had a great weekend. I had Lj, AF, and the nej up on Saturday and they stayed until Sunday. It was so nice to see you girls again; I really missed you! My first overnight guests in my new house (except for CT, but he doesn’t really count as a guest anymore since he stays there 80% of the time and will be living there full-time come September). We went for dinner and to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It was pretty good, except for the ending. One of those endings where nothing really gets resolved. They left it totally open-ended for the next movie. Then on Sunday, we went to cheer lj on in the triathlon. I think she had the best cheering section of all the participants ;)
I have my first physio appointment on Wednesday for my hip flexor injury. I am curious to find out what he recommends for treatment. Should be interesting.
It’s shaping up to be another busy week. Have lots of things to do in the evenings (appointments, laundry, gym trips, etc.) and then this weekend, I am going to watch CT’s baseball tournament on Saturday and then on Sunday, if the weather is nice, CT and I are planning to go to the Toronto Zoo for the day. I have all these air miles, so I was looking on the website last week to see what I could use some of them for, and I decided to cash some in for admission for us for the Toronto Zoo. It’s actually pretty neat all the stuff you can get. I am thinking of cashing some of my RBC rewards points in for a SportsCheck gift card so I can get a new bathing suit or two for when CT and I go to the Caribbean in October.

No tris for c-dub :(
Well, I just got back from my appointment with the sports physician regarding my hip flexor. She stretched me this way and that and got me to do a bunch of stuff, and her diagnosis was that yes, my left hip flexor is much weaker than my right and it is inflamed/damaged. So, she said if I were to run while it is so weak, that it would flare up and cause me pain. So, she advised to stop running completely for now and do low impact exercise only. She also recommended that I get orthodics and that I get physio therapy to strengthen my hip flexor. So, I guess I have to figure out how much medical coverage I have here at work for those 2 things and make appointments.
I am really disappointed. She said that I will likely not be able to compete in any tris this summer. I will have to wait and see how the physio goes. Sheesh. This sucks.
The good news is I can still go to the tri on Sunday and cheer lj on like mad! She will have her own cheering section since nej and AF are coming too! Yay! Can’t wait to see my girls again!

Wonderful long weekend
I had a most excellent long weekend. I don’t think it could have been any better. CT and I spent from Thursday evening until this morning together, the longest in one chunk so far. On Thursday evening, we painted the trim in the guest room, so it’s all ready to have the furnature moved in now. It looks amazing! I had to have it all ready for my guests this coming weekend.
On Friday morning, CT and I left for my cottage. It was soooo nice! The weather was gorgeous. We stopped on the way to pick some strawberries; it was so much fun! We got to the cottage and I was so excited to be there, and we discovered that we were locked out! For some reason, my grandmother (who was the most recent person out there before we showed up) locked the door handle as well as the deadbolt when she left. We only have a key for the deadbolt. So, CT had to make use of our MacGuyver skills and found a window that we could slide open and got a ladder from the shed so I could climb through it. I was relieved; I didn’t want to have to leave!
CT and I had a fabulous weekend at the cottage. The weather was unbelievable. It was so nice to be away from all the housework to a paradise with no tv, no computer, just us. It was great; I had the best time. CT even casually mentioned that he would like to know what I like in terms of engagement rings, so that means he has started thinking about that! Yay! It’s so nice to know that we are on the same page in terms of our future. My predictioin that we will be engaged before the end of 2006 just may come true ;)
