Too bad I am back at work and there is no AC in the building. We may blow out the electrical if everyone turns on the individual fans we have running. Had a meeting yesterday and the heat was on in the room by the break we all had rosey red cheeks. I am doing OK in the heat but I do have a headache by the end of the day.
Students have arrived for orientation the past 2 days so the halls have been crazy busy. Our nice quite campus has once again erupted into a mass of humanity. Classes start up tomorrow. Professors all showed up today asking a gazzillion questions about copywrite and PPR for videos. One woman asked Pam at Info then Peter and then myself the same question. She had already been in a week ago and I talked to her then. She thinks if she keeps asking we will tell her something different and God help us if they all react this way. She was even asking othe faculty standing at the desk. One told her to ask us the other one told her wrong information. It's going to be a very steep learning curve for them.
i have had a couple of productive weeks and managed to things I wanted to do at the beginning of summer done. I spray painted Lily's bed, bought her a funky new 70's purple bedspread. Got my new washer and dryer delivered. They couldn't set it up for me because the hose attachment had fused itself to the cold water tap. My brilliant girl Laura suggested that I use CLR and it worked. Just like in the late night commerials that she watches. It took me a week to get someone in to help me fix the levels so I could use the machines. Deni and I figured it out and we can not understand why guys like to do that kind of stuff. I did at least 10 loads of laundry. sheets and blankets mostly.
Labour Day was very quiet in my neighbourhood. Most people went away because the weather was so beautiful. It was nice to have the time and energy to get stuff done. i invited my Mom and Daryl over to watch the Labour Day Classic and to have BBQ dinner. The game was terrible for the Stamps they lost big time. The best part before the game a CF15 jet fighter roared through the stadium. Then he roared directly over my house. I was outside and looked straight up and he was banking a turn and I could see the pilot he was so low. I have never seen one that close. What a thrill!
i am planning my trip to Toronto to see Laura and her new baby in January. I am having a tough time even thinking about how cold it will be then. I want Mom to come with me because those 2 brothers of mine are not making an effort to come out and see her. I hope the trip won't be to difficult for her. I don't understand how she can sit and watch baseball for hours but finds it difficult to sit on a plane for a 4 hour flight. I only want to stay a week in winter. I will try to drive back in the summer for an extended visit.
This weekend is the Spruce Meadows Masters I will go for one day. Last year was also beautiful weather. I wasn't going to go this year but I know I will miss it if I don't attend. I took some fantastic pictures last year with my then brand new camera. I also want to get to the Glenbow museum to see and exhibit of costumes from movies such Johnny Depps Pirates costume.
It is now 8:30 and I am sitting in deep twilight my favorite time of day. The moon has risen over the top of my lilac hedge and the light in the west is a soft orange pinkish glow with a clear blue sky above. the temperature has now dropped down 10 degrees in an hour. time to head in as my bare feet are telling me that 18 C is not as comfortable as 28 C was!
