Just another Sunday

I spent most of last Thursday evening observing the Intake function of the Mustard Seed Foothills Shelter. Our Minister wants us to do this on a regular basis, but I don't really see this as necessary. It was worthwhile seeing how they have grown and what programs they have in place since we started funding them, but I'm not keen on working evenings and then having to catch up after I take the next morning off.
Our Assistant Deputy Minister visited our office, and met with me and my colleague on Friday and it appears to me that he is as stressed as we are. (I hope nobody from my office reads this.)

I had planned a nice relaxing drive to Banff with a friend on Saturday, but I was so tired and had one of those "Chinook" headaches that just wouldn't go away. So I just vegged at home and slept most of the day. What a waste of a weekend.

I attended my friend Kathy in the NE who was hosting an "Optionelle" clothing party. Just of curiosity I set my odometer, and it was 32 Km from my place to hers. This city covers such a big area, I don't know what we would do without Deerfoot Trail. Kathy and her daughter attended my "Weekender" party this past summer, so I owed her. I promised myself I woudn't buy anything because I just finished reorganizing my closet and thinning out my wardrobe so it could mostly fit in one closet. Yeah, right!

Tomorrow morning I have an appointment with the "hearing" specialist - probably need to get hearing aids soon. I'm not looking forward to it.

And that's all, folks.

Lucie, if you do need some aids, they are so worth the money...Joe can vouch for the fact that I'm not yelling at him as much - unless of course they are in his POCKET! lol
