The end of this week finds us cooling our heels on the shore of Lake Superior. We enjoyed a final Sunday with family in Regina and bade farewell to Rich & Sue as they head off for six months in Zambia, starting on Tuesday.
As planned, we drove from Regina to Kenora on Monday. This segment was punctuated by an enjoyable visit with Dave & Heather at the Tim Horton's in Brandon. We stayed overnight with Eric/A and the boys. Then, on Tuesday we completed the 5000 km tour with a 500 click drive back into TBay.
My leg is swollen and aching. I head to see the doctor on Wednesday. Perhaps these doctors who actually had to go to school to get a degree will know how to treat a fracture! Hmmm, well at least they are also surprised by the lack of a cast! They set me up for more x-rays (to be read by an expert, they assure me), and then they'll determine whether all is progressing well, or if they will need to operate and put in a pin. (Now there's an unpleasant thought!) And with the long weekend, I am delighted to hear that I can wait until next week for that announcement. Privately I have decided that no news is good news, and that the lack of a phone call indicates that all is well.
I get back to work, and am pleased to get my final two schools signed off on Thursday—a whole day to spare! I'll give them the weekend off as well, and then drop the hammer on them for the June reports! I've also been given a small project for Tangible Capital Asset management, so that's another fifteen days of work.
Wendy spends a few days getting the house and our books back in order. She's back in pretty good health, so that's a relief. She has decided to get back on the job hunt. Our garden is thriving—thanks, Trav, for keeping it watered. We have tomatoes, lettuce, radishes and beans. The corn is promising some cobs; the rhubarb is showing good growth. Even the peas are trying to produce although they have never really recovered from the frequent depredations at the teeth of the squirrels.
Erin got back just in time for a job interview. She landed the job, managing accounts at a car dealership, and is scheduled to begin next Tuesday. Kristian is thriving, and keeping us all entertained with his developmental growth and sense of humour.
And that's the kind of week it's been.
