Handle With Care: It's Alive!

I was going to write a summary blog on how I was doing, but suddenly the motivation was sucked out of me. So, now I'm going to list to you 5 things that I'm looking forward to.

1) Each and every weekend at the Sikkema's
2) Gardening at Brian's
3) Having the parent's come out east.
4) Cottage time up north in August
5) Cooking with good recipes and ingredients.

I'm in good spirits, and you should be to. I'm not really sure what else there is to say.

Instructions on Hatching and Maintain

These past three weeks have gone quick. I must say, to think that I was about to depart for England a month ago sounds weird. But, alas, three weeks into work and spirits are good. One thing that is not so hot is the pets in my house. This past week I've been taking care of a dog and a cat. They're generally well natured animals, but they are very annoying. Whether it be the dog wanting to sneak under my covers at 2 in the morning, or the cat wanting to scratch my feet at 4, an uninterrupted nights sleep is hard to come by. I can only imagine what new parents must feel like. Granted, their kid probably isn't hairy with claws. Mange.

I really look forward to the weekends. They're nice. Not to say I don't enjoy work, but let my specify further to what I mean. I sit in a chair for most of my day. Quite often I'm behind a computer looking up an article or analyzing data. But that stops temporarily on Friday afternoons. I get to see Rebecca (a highlight in itself) and then spend the evening with friends and family. On Saturday mornings, I have the opportunity and privilege to work on the Sikkema's farm. I used to do a fair amount of physical labour. This included working at the greenhouses helping ladies pick out pretty flowers. Once in a while I crave physical work, and it's thrown at me on Saturday morning. It's nice change. Then, the rest of the weekend is spent relaxing or exploring, or whatever tickles your kidney. Church on Sunday is always good, and going home on Sunday night is often like pulling off a bandaid slowly. Then my week starts over again.

I would say I'm in good spirits. I hope you are as well. Happy day, everyone.
