Packing, Rain, Running and Seagulls

Chris enjoyed her first week at CHEO. Last week was pretty much all classroom sessions to indoctrinate all the new staff coming into CHEO. Chris was the only person in the room born before 1960! Had to chuckle at that one!

I am keeping myself busy packing up the things we need. Basically, there are three piles....things we need for the RV, things going into storage and things to get rid of. Guess which pile is bigger? We are selling off most of our furniture and have managed to get rid of some things on Craigslist and also kijiji.com. We are planning a garage sale or two in July as well. Whatever doesn't sell, we will give to local charities and second hand shops. If any of you are in the Ottawa area and need some good furniture, please let me know via email or comment.

July will definitely be a very busy month.

Time to run Chris into work........

We have received lots of rain over the past 7-10 days in Ottawa. Not cold, just wet! Today was no different either. I managed to get Buddy out to the park for his morning stroll before running Chris into work and before any rain started. It has been raining steadily since about 7 am this morning. After dropping off Chris, I went down to the Ottawa River in Orleans and managed a nice 3 mile run along the gravel bike path despite the rain. Running in the rain is not that bad actually. A cap and vest kept me quite dry. Not many people around this morning, just have to side step some of the puddles is all.

Stopped at MacDonalds for a coffee, egg mcmuffin and free newspaper. While sitting in the parking lot reading my paper and munching on my sandwich, Gertrude or perhaps it was Heathcliffe, alit on the hood of my Vue waiting for a handout. It never materialized........ Although he/she was quite entranced looking at my breakfast sandwich through the windshield.
