Stepping Away for a minute.... or a week.

As I have taken the week off from work, it is has been just a week since I was at the office.  It was nice to get some time away.  We have gained a bunch of ground on the renos.  Tile is going down faster than the titanic.  I am happy to say we are conserving water by removing an old shower (saving the bucks on the reno of the shower) it is now a closet which will free up room in our master bedroom closet as we can put our winter blankets in this one.  We have painted ordered baseboards done new lights drywall work and on and on.  As this is renos there is no surprise.

We sent the kids to Kelowna for track, they had a great time out there, we stayed home and relaxed in the evening had a drink and watched a movie.  What a very relaxing time.  I managed to get out and take some photos at the car show on Canada Day.  I am so happy with the shots, some are great and some are so so.  I even got a chance to photograph an old building I was eyeing all winter.  I will see what I can do in the digital dark room.  I have moved to PS CC which has opened up a new can of learning for me.  Youtube and Adobe tv are my evening viewing.

Sinclaire started her job, working at the dental office as a helper really great opportunity that found her. So happy for her, we have heard nothing but moans about how we are on vacation and she has to work.....oh how the world has changes.

Looking back a week the floods.  These are still a major impact to the work world and to the people in Calgary.  I do not discount the people that are just getting a chance to see their homes for the first time.  I think it would be truly terrible to be sitting and waiting almost a week just to see your home, not to get to fix it or begin to take in the effort to fix it.

For me the bike path is destroyed out of the SE I have an alternate route ready and I can definitely bike to work starting next week.  Little more effort to get it all done but I am willing to do this as biking for me is a release and relaxing time.  I am thankful it is still an option.

That is all not much but an update today.  Not in the mood for much more than that.  Enjoy the warmth and maybe try a random act of kindness.  Make that choice.

cheers.
