The Week Behind

This week had been a long week and a short week. Again my five-day week dissipated into four days, but for a very sad reason.

A very close friend of ours sister passed away suddenly last Thursday. She was my age, just a few weeks older than me. The frightening part is, the autopsy showed no reason for her death. Colin and I traveled to Victoria Tuesday night to be with our friend and his family, and to attend the memorial service on Wednesday.

But the rest of my week has been good. It has gone quickly, and I have been busy today which has made the day go very fast - my weekend starts in just over an hour.

I went to the SIN office this morning to finally update my SIN card. God, Canadian Government employees are the laziest bunch of sods I have ever met. I arrived at the office at 9:30 - it opened at 9:00. There were only about 5 other people there, but everyone was waiting. Finally, at 10:00, the wickets opened and the line started moving. After that it only took about 10 minutes to get to me, and only a few minutes to hand in my info. But I had to wait 30 minutes on top of that, because everyone seemed to be on a coffee break!

Tonight Thalia and I are going to hang out - it has been a few weeks, so I am sure we will have lots of gossip to catch up on.

Tomorrow night Colin and Andrew are going to Travis' stag, so Lisa and I are going to hang out. I don't think I have seen her since the wedding, so it will be fun to catch up.

Two weeks today I will be on a plane to Hawaii!
