Monday, March 26, 2007 - Visit to work

Dear Bloggy,

I'm a day late, I think! I didn't get to put an entry in the blog yesterday, but then there wasn't much to report. I spent the day trying to finish a scrapbook project I had started and I actually managed to get it finished!! Yayayaya! But more time was spent at the kitchen table with my scrapbook supplies than was spent on the computer... hence, no Sunday entry :)

Today was one of those picture perfect Vancouver spring days!! After weeks, it seems, of monsoon rains and wind, we had gorgeous sun... and it was warm! Ha! I got spring fever.. there was no keeping me inside today. So first things first... Bridget and I went for a 1 mile walkie before breakfast. Then we had breakfast. I left soon after and started wandering, heading towards the downtown area. I had my trusty camera with me and I was feeling great! I will share some of the pictures I took at the bottom of this blog entry.

I ended up at Staples downtown at Burrard, across from the SkyStation. What the heck... I splurged and bought a set of ink cartridges for my printer. I've been working on scanning old photos to use in a scrapping project and have enhanced them to bring out a better quality.. then printing them. I could just see, in the middle of a project, running out of ink ;) Since one doesn't know which colour ink one would run out of first, I bought the set of 4 (3 colours and one black). I also picked up some neat acid free stickers and whatnot for my scrapping supplies :)

I was now only about 3 blocks from work, so I decided to walk over and pay them a visit. It was good to see everyone again... although there were some who weren't in today!! Dave??? Where the heck were you and why weren't you there when I decided to grace you with my presence???? :) Luckily, Charmaine, Mala, Shirley, Dan, Ken, Kerry, Janice, Rob and Donna were there! So we had a good visit and lots of laughs :)

I then took the bus back up Burrard St. to Davie... then walked home from Davie and Burrard, stopping in at Cobbs Bakery and London Drugs on the way home. Once I got home, I turned around and went out again... this time with the little four-legged diva. We ran into a fair amount of people out walking their dogs, so joined up with Lynn and Tkoh (gorgeous Golden Retriever) and went for another block with them.

By the time I got home again, I was TIRED. I don't think it has anything to do with the chemo, I was just tired from all the walking and fresh air today :)

Tonight, I did some more scanning of pictures while watching "Dancing With the Stars", as well, called back a bunch of voicemail messages that were starting to stack up.

The following pictures are a taste of Vancouver on a pretty spring day. I have to admit... I'm very partial to Vancouver in the Spring, WHEN it's not raining ;) But alas, my eyes are drooping and I can't concentrate on the local news, so I'm going to head off to bed, where my little four-legged diva is already hunkered down for the night. Next time I make a blog entry, I think I better be more awake! (grin)

Ciao for now!

Cheryl
