Yesterday was a busy day.  Back to work after 2 days off (you remember why!).  No sleep the night before (stop turning brain…)  Many meetings, then an appointment after work, then checking in on sick Kevin, who had slept all day but was feeling better, then off to a Victoria Heritage Foundation meeting (the first one I’ve been to where all the Heritage folks were talking to potential owners of homes about to be placed on the city’s Heritage Registry – I was invited as an owner of a home that is Designated Heritage and who has received grant funding for a lot of repair work.  VHF is a fantastic organization!!)

Anyway, long day, long story.  To get to my point, I walked to the meeting and took a few pictures of things I saw in our neighbourhood along the way…

A sidewalk with a path beside it.  Why?  Why??

Many, many flowers.  Here are a few

These are poppies (didn’t turn out great)

I also got a little artistic with them, just because

Cruise ships were in.  How did I know?  Here’s how…  Trust me, you don’t ever want to be behind a couple of these when you’re trying to get out of the neighbourhood in your car (I’ve learned a lot about how to be patient during this horse-carriage-laden-street season)!

Sights at the school where the meeting was.  These fence-fish are on every school fence in this city.  Why??  Why???

And after the meeting, I walked home to make sure Kevin got some food (he had already eaten some waffles, but I fed him real food too…)  I took a couple of pictures of some of the cute houses and fences we see every day around here.

And thus ended my long day.  Finally I was able to sit and rest and eventually get some sleep. Today is a shorter day, and wait – tomorrow is Saturday!!  Whoo hoo!!  TGIF all 🙂

…because I got, maybe, three hours (NOT uninterrupted) sleep last night.  Why?  Partly because Kevin came home sick yesterday (he hasn’t barfed yet, but essentially it seems to be what I had – and he never gets sick), and partly because I’m going back to work today after a long weekend (one with full-blown stomach flu) and 2 days off recovering from said stomach flu (which should be enough to explain why I had trouble sleeping, but it is also going to be a busy day of non-stop meetings, followed by after work activities – crazy!  I mean, when was the last time I had any after work activities???).

So…

Yes.  Getting better.  Just a bit of a fever now.  I have eaten some solid food and it’s staying put.  And this morning, I even felt like a little coffee.  Guess I’ll be back to the old salt mines tomorrow.

This was my yesterday:

The only thing I could drink – Ginger Ale

Sort of solid food for lunch (there was solid food at supper)

And kitties nearby

I was so sick yesterday I didn’t take one picture…so, here are some comforting pictures from the rest of the weekend…

Look familiar?  Let’s try this again.

We added rice with shitake mushrooms

And sauteed kale with garlic and cherry tomatoes

And waited…

Elliot and Jasper were worried…

But…Voila!!  All made it inside for our eating pleasure!!

And all was well with the world.

Last night…

Spot prawns and sablefish

Getting spicy

All spiced up and ready to BBQ

And here we go…

Elliot keeping an eye out

And me as well (Kevin is the BBQ king…)

I don’t have picture of the final product.  There was a tragic accident with the sablefish and it is too difficult to talk about.  There was, luckily, enough saved for dinner, and it was delicious.  The lesson:  be very careful when removing a large piece of sablefish from the BBQ…

Yesterday was not a good day.  I went to work for awhile, and then came home as I was feeling pretty crappy.  I slept for a few hours, ate supper, waited for Kevin to get home so we could hang for a bit, and then went to bed.  It’s a long weekend this weekend, so let’s just get through today and hopefully I will feel better by Tuesday.

As a result, it’s another Kitten extravaganza today!  Hope you enjoy.
