revised Labour Day weekend plans

Nevermind that, I’m only going as far as Pender Harbour (see below). No good places to stay in Egmont that were available, just some motels. Shoulda booked earlier, I guess. I booked a room in a nice relaxing B&B (it’s a geodesic dome!) that has private entrance, ensuite, hot tub, etc. Not sure how we’ll [...]

Labour Day weekend plans

I’m going to bike the lower Sunshine Coast. See below. James may have to work some that weekend – they’re switching their servers around and he has to make sure they’re running smoothly all weekend. But if he can’t come I’ll go by myself and it’ll be great. woo!

Bike pictures!

Okay, bike picture. Her name’s Fiona. She weighs 22 lbs. Yay!

doh!

I took my new ride to work this morning. Got to the bike lockup. Realized I forgot my wallet and so couldn’t get in. I had to go back home and then back downtown again. I was an hour late.

I didn’t ride my bike anywhere this morning. I woke up at 7, saw that it was overcast, thought, “Do I really want to ride my bike 70 clicks today, possibly in the rain?”, answered myself in the negative, turned over, and went back to sleep.

It's the freakin' weekend!

Went to the farmer’s market and the craft fair and the Apple Store. James is pmsing because someone jacked the badges from his car. I have 45 cents left till I get paid next Wednesday. Someone hide my credit card or else I’ll spend money I don’t have! Um, Corey’s birthday tonight and tomorrow I [...]
