YYZ Pics

Just a few pics from the trip. It went very well. We packed a lot into a few days, so it was a bit exhausting, but a blast.

Road Trip

One would think that I've been a slogger (slacker-blogger, a new term that I believe originates with Mark Brewer...?), but I've attempted to post a few times and found myself with nothing substantial to say. Not that I've got much tonite, but anyways.

So I'm off tomorrow for Maine/Toronto. Quite excited. The plan is as follows:
Sunday - travel day
Monday - whitewater rafting in Maine
Tuesday - travel day
Wednesday - Niagara Falls etc.
Thursday - Canada's Wonderland
Friday - other Toronto stuff
Saturday - travel day

So yeah. Catch you on the flip side.

Tonsilitis & Toronto

So...I was starting to feel almost normal. My cold symptoms were almost gone, eleven days after it started. Then, Wednesday night, it happened. A tickle in the throat. What the...? I felt progressively worse Thursday and Friday so last night I heeded motherly advice and went to the doctor. Tonsilitis. Are you kidding me? I haven't had that since I was nine. So now I'm on drugs that thankfully were quite cheap. I have to miss a family BBQ in Fredericton celebrating my grandparents' 65th anniversary, so that stinks.

On a more positive note, I'm now done work (except for an extended staff meeting on Tuesday) for the next seven weeks. As tough as it can be to make ends meet over the summer, it's awesome to have the flexibility to do things on short notice. The principal of the academy approached me because he was needing another driver/leader for their grad trip next week. Whitewater rafting in Maine, then to Toronto for Canada's Wonderland, a play, Niagara Falls...Hmmm...let me think...shyah! I am so excited! And I'm glad that I'm getting all this sickness done and over before we hit the road.
