Bad Blogger - July update

Ok here are some pictures of our July thus far:

Camping on the Canada Day long weekend with friends


Visiting J's parents for his dad's 50th


Crazy thunderstorms and dust storms (this pic was taken during what was said to have been the worst thunderstorm in a decade. It doesn't do the storm any justice, that cloud was a huge black ball of dust, and I saw 4 lightning strikes at the same time. The wind was crazy too.)

There have also been a couple digital scavenger hunts through the young adults groups we've been going to, as well as a few bbq's and pool parties... It's been warm, but last week was much cooler (the coast was rainy I heard...) we were sitting around 25ish usually. It was a nice, comfortable time, and even when it was cloudy I didn't mind. I felt more at home maybe?

Had a couple down days this week, I've been missing home a bit and worrying about financial stuff. I was hoping to come down next week for a concert, but decided against it as it would cost too much, especially since I'd have to take time off work.

Speaking of work, I love it! It's a blast! Ok, well most of the time I love it, but last Thursday I was beat up by a 5 year old (kicked in the face, scratched on the hands, etc) ... He's normally a sweet boy but has an... interesting side to him when he doesn't get his way.

I'm also not loving the nasty virus going around work. We actually shut down the centre last Friday to disinfect EVERYTHING. We spent our shifts Viroxing every inch of our room, as well as mopping the gym floor and cleaning the walls. It's a particularly nasty virus. To make matters worse we've now been informed of a case of hand, foot, & mouth disease. Splendid. Let's just say my best friend has been my hand lotion to help with the increased amount of handwashing I've been doing!!

Anyways, off to bed I go to get lots of sleep to help my body resist nasty germs. I'll try to be a more faithful blogger. But it's summer so I'm allowed to slack off I guess.

Discovery!

Today was a mere 41 degrees.

I was hot.

I was cranky.

I was sweaty.

And then I discovered (after two months of living here and dealing with a hot dwelling place) that we have central air conditioning.

Felt like a tool for not knowing that, but at least I'm not boiling anymore. BEST DAY EVER!

It's Hot...

... and I'm tired. And although I have things I'd love to blog about, like the long weekend camping trip, and my week's happenings, I just don't have the energy. Today was only 34 degrees, but tomorrow's supposed to be 38 or higher. And it's so DRY here. It's time for sleep in front of our tiny fan...
