musings from afar

A few things to update, while I mind my wonderful nieces in Langley

1: I don't know if the new restaurant/GM position is going to pan out. I'm giving it a go, but so far things are grey. I have mixed reviews on the situation, as there are many rooting for me to get it, and many who do not want to see me leave where I am now.
Either way, I hope to know soon, to ease my mind.

2: It's been one week since the massive dose of immunizations, and I don't feel like a bag of potatoes. yet...two more days, and I should be out in the clear.

3: Christmas is coming fast. Take a moment, and think about why you are heading out to buy all those presents. Is it because the sheep of society all flock out to the retail stores, and say it's time to get all the "must have" items? Or are you out to celebrate the greatest gift of God, that his one and only Son should come to Earth to die for our sins? Me, I will be keeping this in mind when I shop, because that is really why I celebrate.

4: I am currently listening to "fire fall down" by Hillsong. What an amazing experience, every time I hear it. It's on the United we Stand CD, and would make an excellent way to celebrate Jesus' birthday.

immune x 3

The kids went for their annual flu shot yesterday. Amongst a mix up of scheduling, I ended up at work instead of at this appointment with them, as is usually the custom. I missed out on the usual struggle to get the needle into Eleanor. Not too sad about that. Part of the bargaining tools used yesterday to get her shot done involved the oh so funny bit about how Daddy has to get two shots tomorrow (which is now today). I heard about this last night, and all morning from the two comedians.
Not that I was too concerned about an extra shot, our family doctor is awesome at giving them so it doesn't really hurt (at least until the next day). Except that today, after the first two, awesome family doctor looks a little more closely at the immunizations that I need for the paramedic academy, and realizes that there is actually one more that I need.
She wants to wait a month, because hey, 3 in one day would just be cruel. I guess I can't really complain, because I said just go ahead and do it. I don't really want to have to come back in a month and do this all over again.
Now, I'm home, and I have a feeling that my arm is going to start to be unusable soon, and I just may possibly explode from all of the immunizations that just hit me.

harvest win

Eleanor and Thomas dressed up for the Harvest festival at our church last night. I'm sure that this costume duo has appeared about a million times before, but I don't know if anyone pulled it off quite the way that these two did last night.

Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. It was great. Eleanor won best costume for the 6-9 age range. Thomas looked good too, and was easily the most adept out of the throngs of light saber wielding characters there last night.

We didn't have our camera last night, so we will have to wait for a bit to get the pictures, otherwise you would be seeing some great shots right here.
