It's still raining here in the capital of the Great White North. Bah. I suppose I should be happy that it's not hurricaning or earthquaking and whatnot else it could be doing but I'm weary of waking to dark, cold and damp at 7 am.

After my coffee I happened to glance at my cell and read the message from Steph reminding me to wake her at 5:30 this morning. Ooops! I quickly called her -- only two hours late -- to find she was up and on the bus and headed to where she needed to be.

On the excuse side, her reminder came in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. But she had asked me earlier that day and I hadn't written it down and hadn't set my own alarm to facilitate this favour. Bad alarm clock. Very bad.

I am not to be trusted as an alarm for other people. Now you know.

Many congratulations to Michael and Tyla on their recent lifestyle changing news. I'm not going to spoil it ... Mr. Shaver will have to blog it for you. See? I'm learning after all! :-)
