Ahhh... Home again
Travel throws a bit of a kink in providing jokes...
Back from 3 days in Sudbury Ontario visiting a client. Really wiped out, and taking the weekend to relax and get ready for work on Monday again.
Meetings with client for three days. Just tiring! A three hour time difference doesn't help either.
After our first day of meetings Sue and I went for a walk. Down to Ramsey lake and part way around on the bordwalk. What a lovely time that was, very picturesque, the walkway is right on the lake and goes all the way around (over 20 km). We walked for about 1.5 hours, felt sooo good after travelling all of the previous day and working late into the night preparing for the day's meetings.
We met with Debra, a former co-worker, while in Sudbury. What fun it was, getting caught up and just having an enjoyable night. She took us on a tour of Sudbury, and of course we had to go to the big nickle... She had made recommendations of restaurants to eat at, and all were very yummy!
The wireless network connection on my laptop would not connect after we left the Toronto airport on the way to Sudbury... That was quite annoying (to put it politely), but luckily after the first night I discovered that the hotel was still wired for network connectivity, and all the meeting rooms had network connections available.
Was so very nice to return home... landing at Victoria airport and the feeling of being home. Finally got home at about midnight (after a full day of meetings), needless to say didn't do too much besides brushing teeth and going right to bed. The cat was very happy to see me home and voiced his pleasure for quite some time, then curled down on top of me and purred much of the night.
Headed off Saturday morning to pick up Casey and no answer at the dog boarder's house... Damn! Was really looking forward to seeing my pup. Went to Tim Hortons for a coffee and muffin, took them to the top of Mount Tolmie and looked over the city while eating my muffin. Checked back afterwards and still no answer, so called and left a message that I had been by, to give me a call when she was back and we would arrange a time. She called shortly after I arrived home and I headed out again to pick up my boy.
He was certainly excited to see me home!!! 10 minutes of him hugging me and giving kisses... it is so very nice to be missed! Sabrina said he had been a very well behaved pup when she had some other dogs on Friday. Seems all the hard work on adjusting his behaviour with other dogs is starting to pay off!
Casey had been scratching while with Sabrina, so most likely fleas. Fleas are pretty much a year round problem here as it doesn't get cold enough to get rid of them. Looking into more natural ways of dealing with them, all the chemicals in the solutions from the vets can not be good long term for the animals.
Continuing on my pear cooking... making a pear bread today, fresh bread sounds soooo good!
All for now, may be an afternoon nap in the works. :)
