Thought

"Gosh, I wonder how they managed to manufacture the capsule in one piece..."

I don't think I should be allowed to watch Contact any more.

Home again, home again

I did very little knitting in Pearson, surprisingly enough. Instead I found a random person who was in the same situation as me to talk to.

Flew home, went for coffee, collapsed into bed. Doctor's appointment the next morning for ear issues. Now cannot hear out of right ear at all. This is making for some interesting conversations with my parents. Was sad that I could not hear properly and thus could not indulge in the vast and varied collection of classical music (including a lot of Christmas music) that my mother owns.

I consoled myself with rum. Lots of rum.

Now trying to finish up an assignment, but it's getting dark and colder so I should head home soon since I don't want to walk across the park in the dark. I brought my iPod, but since I use my earbuds, and only in my left ear to allow me to hear... That renders me completely deaf for the walk home.

Time to bundle up and make the trek before there's another train.

Going Home

Due to an unfortunate turn of events, I am about to embark on what is possibly the dumbest idea I have ever had.

I'm spending most of tomorrow in Pearson's T3. Come say hi if you're on your way through.

I'll be the one knitting.

Counting the hours

I have one more day left of work here in Sudbury. In January I'll be back in school for another four months.

It's been a good term, despite the dental fiasco in the middle and the ongoing insistence of my landlord and his wife to treat me like their child.

Tomorrow I will go to work, compile the references for my work report and finish off the spec I have been working on for the past month. When I get back to the house I will pack what little there remains to be packed, write a note to my housemate, let my landlord know I am leaving, and wait until 2230, when I can leave for the bus station.

In less than 48 hours I will be home, assuming all goes well. Home.

To all who may be reading - Best wishes to you over the holidays. Stay safe. Have fun. Enjoy the snow.

Well that was different

For a change, I finished my Giftmas shopping today. Normally I leave it until the last possible minute, but not this year.

I still have some small stuff to get, some knitting to finish up, but the big stuff is out of the way. Now all I have to do is pack and write my work report.
