Winter Blahs

As I was reading my blogs this morning, noticing that a lot of people have updated recently, I realized I hadn't written anything in 2009 yet!

This is due to the fact that 1) Nothing terribly exciting has happened so far in 2009, and 2) I have serious case of the winter blahs and didn't want to depress anyone with a mopey post.

I have, however, managed to go skiing in 2009, so here are some pictures. We were at Blue Mountain on Jan 10th. I bought a new ski outfit (no more purple and green for me!) and had a blast!

I no longer look like a purple plum while skiing

Spring now, please?

The past two weeks have been horrible and stressful. I had hoped the worst was over, but no.

Monday I whacked my head pretty hard on something and ended up with a huge headache (duh). Yesterday, I also managed to burn my arm with the iron (see why I don't iron?) while enjoying day two of the headache. I was on desk all day at work, and while nothing horrible happened (unlike last week) being on desk all day with a major headache was not fun. I wanted to go home so badly I could cry.

So then, the end of the day came. Hooray! But it was another snowstorm. I drove my colleague to the subway station as I always do when we work the same shift, but was unable to get out of the station in the direction I wanted to go. So instead of left, I had to to turn right.

(captions: at subway "stuck for 20 minutes";
along Finch "no longer thinking straight";
at Bathurst/Finch "if I was thinking straight, I would have turned right")

To make a long and painful story short, it took me 2 hours to get home last night. I left work at 5:00, and walked in my door at 7:00. I live 20 minutes from work, and about 5 minutes from the subway where I dropped off my colleague.

I wanted to go home so badly I did cry. And if I didn't have such a busy day at work ahead of me, I'd call in sick.

And yes, I still have a headache.
