Anatomy of a good Week

Currently feeling sabbatical.
Nothing spectacular has happened this week just several small things have all come together.
First and biggest is that I got a raise at work. I don't actually know how much because I was talking to my boss over the phone and he didn't say. All I know is that it will be appearing in my next paycheck. Also on the work theme is that all this week I have been doing gravy work. Very easy, mindless stuff that is totally boring but can be done with your eyes closed.
Next the weather has been good. Not spectacular(to wet to be spectacular) but a huge improvement over the last couple of weeks. Sunny and hot, it makes for great biking weather in the evening when it cools off a little bit.
That leads into the next good thing, riding my bike. I've gone out four different times this week, none of the trips over five miles but they have all been good exercise and I've seen a lot of interesting things. Several incredible houses, slash manors, lot look like they would fit right into an English lord's estate. I also discovered a park right next to me, watched parts of two different baseball games (highschool), laughed at ten minutes of peewee girls playing lacross (think between the ages of 6 and 9), and found a running track within easy biking distance.
I also got a new camel pack that totally rocks. Two liters of water plus plenty of space for my camera, a little food, and a shirt or two.
Next up is that I have finally beaten the game halo. I had played it like crazy when I first bought it but then took a hiatus. I finally came back to it and after a weekend of intense playing beat it. Very cool game, I would recommend it to anyone who can run it.
And finally things are coming together for a long weekend up in Nova Scotia. Primarily to go to my cousin Grahams wedding, but I am also planning on seeing lots of friends and relatives who I haven't seen in years. I've gotten time off from work, have places to stay all lined up, all I have left to do is get my car checked out, which is going to happen this coming Tuesday. It is a great feeling knowing that everything is taken care of (DV).
So I'm currently feeling very good, and the only reason I'm not blaring music and dancing wildy around is because I'm at the library. They don't look kindly on that kind of thing.

Do you realize, Wes, that if you had waited one more minute to post you would have posted at 11:11?! Ah well. 11:10 is pretty good too:) Anyway, happy for you over the "little things" that end up factoring pretty big-ly over all. I love finding out of the way beauties (like English Lords' estates) - they make me feel better about not having made it to Europe yet. There's a lot of beauty to be found right here! And YAY for baseball games! How much more summer-y can you get?!

Sojourning, you don't know the librarians at that library! Some of them are the "sternest"[to be nice] old ladies I've ever met. Disapproval would roll off of them in clouds and make one collapse to the ground in despair.

And Wes, good job on getting in at 2:10pm. It would seem that SOMEONES clock thingy isn't set for UTC-5. Youth these days. Least you don't need to be able to tell time to teach, ne? hehehehehehe....

Hmmm?! I am so mystified! It definitely said 11:10 before. Oh, but I guess that was on a different computer. Oh Well. Do you realize, Wes, that if you had waited nine hours and one minute more you would have posted at 11:11?! Ah well. 2:10 is pretty good too...

W.C., you would have felt so much better if you HAD danced and sang loudly in the library to your blaring music. I've found getting kicked out of somewhere to be one of the joys in life. Something to tell your grandkids. Maybe even your great-grandkinds... people may even write a song about you...
