A couple days ago, we had a meeting at work. It was actually very interesting, as it was about a new project which I am a part of. Despite it being a good meeting, at the one hour and fifteen minute mark, I was starting to crave a coffee. I nudged the girl next to me, pouted and whispered “coffeeeeeee” in her ear. Her response – this amazing, life-like drawing of a dancing Tim Hortons coffee:
I know, you’re thinking the same thing I did when I first saw it: “There’s no way that isn’t a photograph!” Well, it’s not! It’s actually a pen drawing. 
The same day at work, I finished a book by one of my favourite authors, Anita Shreve. My friend suggested I read this book:
It’s 973 pages and weighs about 27 pounds, so it’s quite a work out to lug it back and forth to work. I’m only on page 129 but am quite enjoying it thus far.
It was my day off today and I took up someone I had recently taken up for an aerobatic flight. He often rides his motorcycle to Port Dover during the Friday 13th motorcycle extravaganzas. He thought it would be neat to see it from a new perspective. Mike and I just drove through the town when we went to Long Point for camping a couple weeks ago. I couldn’t believe how many more wind turbines there were compared to just a year ago:
Quite a few were under construction:
We flew over the Tim Hortons that Mike and I stopped in on the way to Long Point:
A shot of the town:
You can see some of the trees have already changed colour.
Flying back, we passed this Pepto Bismol looking body of water:
Back in St. Catharines:
It was a great flight. Looks like this weekend isn’t going to be too accommodating for any other flights. Bummer.
Had a doctor appointment on Wednesday and found out there was a surgical cancellation right when I walked in the door, so they were able to book my surgery. Going to the nice, new St. Catharines hospital a week today. At least I’ll have the long Thanksgiving weekend to recover!
Speaking of recovering, Boo is a monkey and was frantically running around the apartment for over an hour. Looks like she wore herself out:
Pinky, on the other paw, seems ready to rock:
Not too sure where the other two goobers are at the moment.
Today’s symptoms: Felt quite good all day. Been having crushing pains worse than normal in my forearms and hands for the last few days. It’s not to the point where it prevents me from doing anything. They hurt just as bad when I’m not doing anything to when I’m typing or driving. Just gotz to deal with the pain – suck it up and carry on!
