Another Fire!

It’s hard to believe but there was yet another fire within a block of my apartment.  I stood and watched this building burn earlier this week:

Actually, it was the smoke that wafted into the bedroom that clued me into what was going on outside.  The second floor is completely gutted.  Very sad considering there were three apartment units upstairs, one downstairs plus two or three businesses.  The fire marshall will be investigating on Tuesday.  Hopefully that was the last fire for a long time!

I’ve been a little behind on blogging this week as I’ve been so busy.  I’ve done overtime a few nights, had a union dinner through work and went to another hockey game.  The union dinner was really nice.   Great company and yummy noms:

A couple nights after the dinner, Jan and I went to another Maple Leafs game in Toronto.  She picked me up from work and drove to my apartment so we could have dinner before leaving for the game.  We were both shocked when we passed this Petro station and noticed how high gas went up:

Appartently gas prices are going to go up higher than ever this summer.  Ugh.

We weren’t in the same seats as the last game.  Unfortunately, Jan couldn’t see the whole rink over the hand rail in front of our seats.  I offered to let her sit on my coat, but she wouldn’t go for it.  Dork.

This is during the second period – the Leafs were doing so badly, the refs let them play with their entire team on the ice.  They still lost.

It was still a fun game.

I want to get one of these little remote control hot air balloons for the cats:

Here’s a shot of the CN Tower before we headed home:

It was a great night but we were both happy to get home and crawl into our beds.  I decided to be a rebel the next morning and take 45 minutes vacation time so I could sleep in a bit.  It made a big difference – I was tired today, but not as bad as I thought I would be.

I’m heading to the Auto Show in Toronto tomorrow.  I’ll be sure to take lots o’ pics to post on my blog.  Hopefully the weather is decent on Sunday as I really have a craving to fly.

Today’s symptoms:  Tired, but not major MS symptoms.  Just a few aches and pains.  No headache either!
