From the “Easy like Sunday Morning” Dept.

Woke up at little bit before noon today. Cooked some breakfast/lunch for Kev and I (and my family) and said our good byes.

Thanks for the Chinese buns and egg tarts Kev. You’re too generous.

Bloody hot today. I started removing what’s left of the weeds on my drive way. After manually removing many of the weeds about 2 weeks ago, and having sprayed the driveway last week with herbacide, it was time to move on to Stage 3 of my assault against the weeds: Touch up.

So with a trowel, and a little elbow grease….

However, it was too hot, and stopped shortly after that.

Tomorrow morning, perhaps.

From the “Back in the Long Distance” Dept.

Went out to dinner with Jen’s family. It was a pretty decent meal.

Helped Jen pack for her stint in Vancouver.

Okay, to clarify: Jen gets weekend fly-backs from Vancouver to Toronto. Another option that she has is that she can choose to fly any one person [I hope that it will be me, more often than not] to BC and back to ON again. Finally, Accenture will also pay for an airplane ticket anywhere that is equivalent to the cost of a flight between Vancouver and Toronto.

Cool?

Yes, very cool indeed.

It’s not ideal for our relationship, but it’s better than nothing.

The only thing I worry about is whether Jen’s Circadian Rythm will be able to take the 3-hour shift in time-zones.

That’s going to play havoc on her system….

Given that fact, I honestly don’t think that she’ll be able to do the weekend fly-back as often as she would like. Fortunately she won’t have any shortage of friends (co-workers, actually) there, and I will definitely fly to her side of the country if necessary.

I’m sad that I won’t be able to spend more time with Jen (weekends are never long enough). I’m also fearful of her safety too. I don’t know how safe Burnaby and Vancouver, BC is, but you can never be too vigilant.

Am I worried that Jen and I will drift apart? Yes I am. I would be lying if I didn’t think that that’s a possibility. However, it definitely isn’t in the top of my lists. I trust Jen, she trusts me; we love each other. I do realise that this type of situation can breed bad things (which I won’t name)…but I know nothing is going to happen.

And who knows? Maybe it’s time I got out of Toronto.

Hell, all my guy friends are leaving here, and there’s a real cool Masters program at UBC that has perked my interests recently.

Am I a west-coast person? I don’t think so. I’m probably a little uptight for that lifestyle, but who knows?

Maybe I’ll find myself back in Waterloo.
