For lack of anything major going on, here are some of the minor things.

- I’m putting in 14-hours days at the job on this final week, while at the same time reading up on things I should know for the new job next week.

- This weekend I’m planning on making a bonfire with my corp threads.

- I’m anxiously following the news for updates on the Air Canada situation. If everything goes well, I should start my new job on Tuesday, work there for four days, and go on two weeks vacation. I really need it.

- I’m suffering from a summer cold.

- Comet has a bad eye infection. I never thought a Boston Terrier could look even more pathetic, but then I saw her with her red eyes and one of those sick dog collars. I’d be heartbroken for her, if she didn’t look so damn funny.

- Finally got around to doing my taxes. When they owe you 1,50$, do they even bother to send a check?

The plumber showed up 24 hours after we realized the pipes were frozen. He said that after 6 hours of freezing, they were usually cracked, so ours surely were. But they somehow weren’t. Relief.

The whole “ordeal” ended up being a blessing. It brought our landlord to our place for most of the afternoon, and at the end he declared to T how much he appreciated us as tenants, and to tell him if there’s anything he can do. This is perfect timing as I had gotten permission for a chihuahua and now need to upgrade to a Boston. Plus, we now have decent water pressure.

Matt called around 8 pm and said there might be one puppy left, but they weren’t sure. We should know today. In any case, I spent part of the evening making a list of nearby Boston breeders (7 in Quebec, 17 in Ontario), so I think we’re going to find one anyway.

Nothing’s changed at the job, but like I said everything feels less intense now that I’ve started the process of transferring to a more exciting workscape.

And how’ve you been?
