What you pay, if you could pay, for a lung full of fresh air right? I would pay upto and including $10 Canadian. It's disgustingly humid outside right now. It was like that yesterday and I'm hearing, it'll be like that tomorrow. The humidex should not be 31 degrees at 6 a.m.
Tonight, immediately after work, be braved the baking temperatures and went for some groceries. We're home now, the store wasn't bad but the parking lot was brutal. I'm so glad that I have a/c at home. Remember the other week when I feeling all guilty shit? Yeah, not today, relieved and happy.
And relieved and happy to be heading off to my little splashy pool for a dip right...about...now!

patrick and spongebob
Another day, another Spongebob photo. This time starring (yes, pun intended!!) Patrick!
This beautiful piece of Bikini Bottom art is about 3 feet high and lives on the back of a filing cabinet, next to my desk. My little corner of the office is very SpongeBobby indeed.
How was your Tuesday? It was absolutely stinking hot here. Like, hey it's so humid that you almost can't get a breath of air hot. The humidity was horrible. The room I work in has some air conditioning in it so it's quite pleasant to work in. Whenever I go out in the hallway though, it takes my breath away. The building I work in is almost 200 years old so there is no central air, just portable units in offices. Because of this, everyone works with their doors closed in the summer. It feels a little anti-social but it's the only way to do it, unfortunately, when the weather is all yucky.
Tonight, we weren't home for 20 minutes before we were in the pool. Honestly, I never thought that a little $100 pool could be responsible for so much enjoyment. Again, our dinner was a little late but I like it at this time of night. By the time we eat, it's too late to actually have a craving for a night-time snack so I don't even think about it (except right now, when I did think about it).
My dad is working on a project for us (helping us to build in our dishwasher) so my folks popped by for a few minutes (for more measurements) after dinner. After they left, we took a quick run over the store to pick up some veggies and fruit for lunches tomorrow. Goodness, cooling off in the pool and then dining in the a/c really messes you up. The air is still so heavy, at almost 8 p.m. Hopefully we'll get a big rain storm tonight to clear out the air.
Weather aside, today was the first day in almost a week that my back felt like it was totally back to normal. Don't take the ability to move freely and without pain for granted kids!! I have to say too, that my first couple of days back to work have been pretty good. I mean, it's busy (because we're heading into our peak time in a few weeks) but it's managable. I also feel like I'm accomplishing something everyday, which is nice. To feel appreciated and accomplished are good things people, work is good right now. And moving is good, hey, for a Tuesday, it's pretty good to me right now!!

spongebob & squidward
how can you not have a good day when you find colourful pictures of spongebob and squidward on your desk when you go back to work? it was a great surprise!!
Things were not totally chaotic when I got back into the office today. It's a nice change from some previous jobs I had where, if I was away, nothing I looked after got done. This time, I had prepared quite well, was caught up when I left and had secured lots of help for key projects. Things seem to have gone swimmingly while I was away! I did, however, have about 300 (after junk mail deleting) emails to sift through but most of them were just fyi stuff. nice!
Speaking of swimmingly, we are still enjoying the pool. On Saturday, it was cold and rainy here so we didn't get in but tonight, after work, we did and it's so relaxing. It kind of leaves us having dinner late but that's okay, it's a small price to pay. The funny/nice thing is that once I get out of the pool, I'm not even hungry for dinner. Hopefully this will mean that I'll actually eat less. Wouldn't that be good?
Oh, yeah, Friday, we did get to see Clerks II. We really really enjoyed it. I guess when you don't have any expectations (because I really didn't - the trailers online looked funny) you can't be disappointed. It was really funny. We laughed, a lot. A big huge lot, seriously. It's funny. If you liked Clerks, you'll really like this. It's good, laugh out loud a lot good. /review Go see it, seriously. Kevin Smith rawks (again)!!

for a while
I've been up for a while now. It's really quiet in the house, the only sounds I can hear are the rumble of the recycling truck on the street and the gurgle from the fish tanks.
Mark is still sleeping. We were up sort of late, well, late for us, last night. We tried to watch 40-year-old Virgin but couldn't get into it. I was surprised too because we both like Steve Carrell a lot. It could have been one of those state of mind things too, we may take another stab at it later on, but we might not.
This morning, my back is still a little stiff. This happens to me from time to time and it's annoying. Annoying because it slows me down, and annoying because otherwise, I feel really good. Hopefully, a hot shower will sort me out for the day.
It's a little hard to believe that my vacation is winding down. Overall, it's been very relaxing, which is what I'd hoped for. I could have done without me having a sore back this week, or Mark having some heat-induced migraines last week but overall, it's been a nice break. I could very easily get used to being a lady of leisure. Unfortunately, unless we win the lotto, that's not going to happen anytime soon. I'll just have to settle for little breaks here and there...and will have to make a note to actually pick up a lotto ticket once in a while!

aah...water
all week, I've been moving a little slower than normal. ever since the lawn chair incident, my back has been sore. It's not so bad that I can't get around but I'm definitely not quick when I need to get from point a to point b.
the one place it gives me no problems is in the pool. Mark bought a little floating mattress thing the other day and when I get on that, and float on the water, in the sun, my back feels great.
I'm sure that by tomorrow it'll be much better, probably all fine. I hope so anyway. We really want to go see Clerks II tomorrow and I don't know how comfortable 98 minutes in a theatre will feel if I'm not all fine.
