Not for long, but yeah, it IS still Monday! It's been an extra busy one for me.
Unloaded the stuff at storage and rearranged the locker so there is now floor visible between boxes and shelves and whatnot. Which means you (I) can move around in there without having to move and re-move boxes. I AM the Storage Queen.
Back to the building here to uncouple the trailer so I could run more errands. Then to the bank. There's an insane situation there with my CAD and USD accounts (at the same Canadian financial institution) but if I get into that, it will be Tuesday before I finish. Later on that one.
Down to MBE where there was a much anticipated package from my sister: Christmas in April - so much fun!. Down to get stuck by the lab tech (again). Up to my doc's office in the same building to ask about a referral to the gastro specialist. The office was closed for lunch hour and I was too tired to wait, so I walked the two blocks to the hospital (Hotel Dieu) to see what I could find out about the availability of the specialist. No sense asking for a referral if it would take too long anyway. Right?
The hospital was closed for outpatient business. The security guard said: "It's a holiday." And I said: "Hard to tell some days." He did tell me what floor I should head to on my next try, though. (Holiday oddness: the schools were closed today, but everything else seemed open. At least this hospital was the only thing I ran into that wasn't.)
I did a few more errands and ended up walking a LOT more than I had anticipated. When I realized that I hadn't eaten since the morning and it was almost 3 pm (how'd that happen?), I decided sushi was the solution. I picked the slow side of the street though and had trouble pretending I was awake while I waited for my liver friendly lunch. Fish is an acceptable source of protein, too - I don't think I mentioned that yesterday (or was it earlier today? whatever).
Got home figuring I'd have the rest I deserved. Opened my package. A veritable cornucopia of surprises. I returned a call to Stephanie and caught up with her and then called my sister to thank her for the goodies. Oh and my brother, too, who sent along a fun response to the mud flap girls he's likely been staring at on long hauls through the States.
Remembered to eat a bit and now, it's about time to relax my whining muscles and get some sleep. I hope it's more than the four hours I got last night. Double that would be good... that's when the school across the street starts getting active.
