we woke up to our first real spring shower this morning!
this last week has been very hot & very sunny resulting in sunburned noses and bikini tan lines
(well maybe a little rosier then tan lines)
but its spring and its hot out and its so darn hard to not sit outside and just enjoy the lovelyness.
we're been busy trying to get ready for our may 5th departure. we leave on tuesday for calgary, then on to regina and finely on to winnepeg where we'll be for about a week. i'm not really sure if i've mentioned it already, but we're headed to north central manitoba to work at a fishing resort for the summer. after the summer there, we'll head to the great NS for a much needed visit and bit of fabulousness! i'm not really sure which i am more excited about.
we're keeping our place, so that's been a relief - no need to pack anything up or having to worry about, when we return, having to find a new place. we just have to pack up what we're going to take with us. we hope to bring travis' four wheeler back so we need to keep in mind that it has to fit in the back of the truck, along with everything else. we are also taking schooner and dixie so there is not much room in the back seat. that doesn't really leave that much space at all as we are finding. but that's fine really, cause we don't need take that much stuff. clothes. books. guitar. camping stuff.
just four little categories: clothes. books. guitar. camping stuff. it doesn't really look like its going to be that much stuff, but for some reason my head is still spinning slightly, so that makes me worried.
my last day of work was friday & it still feels a little weird. no more getting up at 3:15, no more driving though town in the wee hours, when it feels like a whole different place. i always thought it felt like being underground. i am totally aware that that probably makes no sense what so ever. but we used to have this book when i was little, called "the wumps" or something like that. they were these little creatures that lived underground, and they all these little systems and every once in a while would climb up and check out life above the surface.
anyway, driving through town at 4:15 just makes me think of being of being underground. especially in the winter, right after a snowfall because all of the little loaders and snowplows are all milling about in the darkness. it just has that "underground" feeling.
call me crazy. it won't be the first time.
driving away tuesday morning will feel pretty strange. but totally lovely. it will be weird to leave everything behind. but it will be really nice to come back in the fall knowing that everything is ready to go. no house finding. just job searching. but that will be interesting enough i imagine.
my packing motivation has had a hard time reaching it optimum level. its just hard to know where to begin. coffee was a good start this morning, but i suppose i should keep going.
see-ya in manitoba!
p.s. i finished my taxes!!! (a week ago, but i did nevertheless!! yay fro tax returns!!)
on a side note, i was just going over the political party's in bc. i have already voted due to my absence for the actual election as well as the advanced polling dates. but i was a little interested just now to see who was running and such. i came across the 'the sex party' and their take on global warming among other things was quite comical.
"Hot sex will cool the planet."
