Wednesday = Hump Day. Half way thru the work week already! Well,am actually taking Friday following Canada Day off . Plan is to be very productive and get tonnes of errands done that I’ve been putting off. Ha…I laugh at myself. This is not a good sign. Delirium is setting in.

Right, so yesterday was Unofficial Bake Day at work for our team of 14 women and 2 men. As you can imagine (or maybe you can’t), I was putting major pressure on myself to bake something that would take the cake (yes..lame pun was intended..apologies). Given my affinity for baking/cooking, need to gain acceptance/approval of peers, slightly competitive tendencies and highly developed taste/affection for sweets..you can understand I was slightly stressed about the whole baking ordeal, but also v. much looking forward to finished product. Alas, was not meant to be..lack of bakeware and incompetency of grocery shopper (me) forced me to buy baked goods ..sigh. A sad, sad day. In any case, I spent half of yesterday sampling all the baked goods ..purely for comparative purposes. In ironic twist, I also chose to join the gym yesterday and am now scheduled for health and fitness test later this afternoon. CAN only imagine how much I’ve gained since the weekend between the carrot cake, cookies, brownies and candy.

We may have found a flat…more accurately, Keri may have found us a flat…complete with private terrace and back garden. Plus a bit of a rent hike. Hopefully we can continue to evade Council taxes and bills. So..for all of you that were intending ot mail me cash/cheques/money orders/candy/cards/etc. . . . just put a hold on that thought, will post new address asap..then you can send by Air Mail. Hmmm..wonder how long it would take for CDs from Ireland to reach Edinburgh J
