Feeling better....

The day didn't start so well (dark, gloomy and rainy), but then I spent time in the library working on my ms AND the sun came out :) I realized while running errands after leaving the library that my mood had lightened considerably.

I pondered this for a while and it occurred to me that my doldrums (while somewhat hormonal) also must be connected to the lack of time I've taken recently to work on the final changes to my manuscript. Hopefully I'll get the rest of the changes made next week so I can submit it.

In other news, my desktop computer has been resurrected, thanks to Sean. Much of my week has been spent loading software back on and reconnecting various peripherals. My job search also continues, slowly but surely. After so many years working for the family company, it's certainly been interesting getting back into the regular job market.

We don't have any exciting plans for the long weekend, especially as Sean actually has to work on Monday.

Next week I'm going to blog about friendship - something that has been on my mind for various reasons over the last three weeks or so.

How about you? Anything exciting going on?

Blogging apathy...

As you might have noticed, I don't feel much like blogging these days. Lots going on here.

Here's a pic of a recent wild visitor to our garden:



I'll be back when I feel more like sharing my thoughts.

Where I've been and what I've been doing...

As some of you may have noticed, I've been AWOL for just over a week. Sean and I went camping at the northern tip of Vancouver Island for a few days, then entertained guests upon our return followed by a visit with family.

This has been my first chance to post and I spent much of my day adding photos to the blog posts I typed on Alphie while we were on the road. You can read the results over at my Windshield Chronicles blog:

Day 1
Day 2
Days 3&4


If you'd rather just look at the photos without my running commentary, have a look at my Best of North Island Trip album on Picasaweb.

I still have much to catch up on, so it may be a couple of days before I post again.
