A sign that you are too tired/busy/hungy?


 
First, let me say that I survived Tornado Tuesday.  The wind was ferocious on the way home yesterday.  A guy at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club even stopped to discuss the wind with me while we were waiting for the light.  I really hope tonight’s commute is less breezy.

 
That segue was to give an idea of why I am so tired, well, that an biking 50 km a day.  Work and home are both pretty busy these days too so my brain is always busy and well… hungry…just because.  So what was the sign of all of all of this?  Forgetting all forms of undergarments today.  I had a moment of total horror as I pulled my dress out of my bike bag and realized in that instance that I had no undergarments.  Not just a lack of undies (for which I thankfully had an emergency pair in my gym bag thanks to forgetting them the last time).  What to do?  Put my bike wear back on, call in sick and go home?  Quick trip to Winners on Sparks Street?  They don’t open until 9:00.  They really need to open at 7:30 and I will start a campaign for that.   So, I could put my sweaty bike wear back on, go to Shoppers and buy pasties but that really doesn’t work for women of a certain age – right ladies?  Since none of those was an option and I brought in workout gear to go to the gym at lunch (oh yah, adds to the tiredness) so I put on my sports bra (not black) and my black dress.  Good thing that the dress covers the straps of the sports bra (mostly).  I really have to stop doing this.  I have to say that this will not be the most comfortable attire (or perky) day but it is better than the alternative.

 My morning commute was fun….and smelly.  Barrhaven smelled like skunk and then the horse farm smelled like…..well, horses.  The dead grass along the way also smells.  Along the Canal there is a spot that smells like dead body (not that I really know what that smells like) but it really smells awful and I hope that it isn’t a dead thing. 

I way biking along Grenfell and out of a laneway this guy appears.

 
Well, he was way more tanned and a little “fleshier” but all he was wearing was black shorts.  Kind of scared me.


Could have been this guy too.
 
Then I was coming down Capital Drive in Nepean and three worker bee guys were walking towards me carrying a bunch of gear, taking up most of the road, and it made me laugh because they reminded me of the original Ghostbusters.

 
To say the day has been an adventure is a bit of an understatement….and it is only 9:00.

Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree.

Oh but Charlie Brown you picked a fantastic tree and now my office looks so Christmas-y.  I could use a pair of gold sparkly shoes just like that one too. My day is going to be interesting I'm sure.  I got up late and, thinking I had an eye doctor's appointment today, drove in and was quite thrilled that I was only 15 minutes late getting in.  Turns out that the appointment is next Monday.  Now I get to pay $20 for parking for no reason.  Sigh... I got on the elevator with a woman this morning who had a Guitar Hero box and chocolates and cookies.  I told her that this looked like the best way to start a week and she agreed.  I wonder if I could convince the powers to be here that we should also have a "band day".  I could totally be a back up singer. After a fabulous wearing shorts bike-run yesterday with Jonathan, I was making dinner and went to open the oven door to check on the delicious chicken that was cooking and the door handl...

Do birds yawn?

That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pret...

Oh but I want these.

The boss is back from the UK today.  I wonder if he brought me back these gorgeous shoes?   I think I deserve them since it was my 6 month anniversary here on Monday, I'm a loyal, hardworking (most of the time), fun, friendly, engaging, reliable, fashionable....well, obviously I could go on but I'll stop...employee.  Maybe I should have put that in an email and sent it to him before he left London. Yesterday I followed a woman to the bus stop and I marvelled at how she seemed to be walking while trying to keep something between her knees.  Had to be that because why would you take such tiny little steps in life if not for that.  Is that a new inner thigh workout.  Maybe I should try it because mine could certainly use some toning.  Plus, really, it would take her a week to walk a block.  On top of that she had on a skirt that went to her ankles (so you couldn't actually see if there was something between her knees) and the pointiest...
