Tuesday

Well, it is 16 degrees above zero outside right now, and yes the calendar does say November 22. It is suppose to remain this mild for the rest of the week, and then cool down on the weekend. Whether the weather says so or not, it is definately fall. I can tell by my general lack of enthusiasm getting out of bed in the morning. Everything is dark, and you just feel like you should be hibernating. The sun goes down on your way home from work, and it does not come back until you are almost at the office. Things are still slow in the shop, and adjusters seem hard to find. I think that maybe because of the busy summer, many are taking extra days off to make up for extra hours worked during the floods. Other than wawanesa I have been unable to reach anyone on the phone, which for the most part has made my week extremely boring at work. On the home front the writing is going well. Finally made some headway with Natalie. I have challenged myself to write a scene from her graduating year at high school. I have included a journal entry written by her, which has allowed me to share some of her inner dialogue and thoughts with the reader, without breaking the fourth wall. It is going well, and has allowed me to show the fundamental differences between her world and Benjamins. I do not know where the chapter will lead, but I will try to finish it this week. It may also result in some story changes to previous chapters in order make her world line up better with Bens. I am very proud of the work so far. Not much else is going on. I will be heading to Wawanesa today to drop off some Opera tickets to Suzy. I got them free from Simone, but am unable to go because of the Oilers game on Friday, which I also have tickets for. Luckily, as I suspected, Suzy enjoys the Opera, as I guess all classically trained pianist would, so she will enjoy them in my stead. And I will watch the Oilers kick the shit of the Flames. Pls God Pls. lol NMZ out
