Wow, I took quite the intermission here! Let's see, first up would be the blackout, in which I spent approximately 4 hours sitting in a chair at work in utter blackness doing nothing. When I left at night with the last counsellor in the office, guided by candlelight, I ran into my mother who was running up and down the dark stairwells (no emergency lights here folks! Emergency lights are for the weak!), screaming my name. Oh, mother. As if things couldn't get better, I came in the next morning as well but as the electronic doors were broken so I had to climb through a series of windows. Good grief! I was fine with the power outage until the phones stopped working in Newmarket. We didn't get power back until Saturday night at 10pm.
Not that I was around, since Jon picked me up (I complained that I didn't have gas) and took me out to a little Italian restaurant downtown named Fieramosca. Really fancy and the food was delicious. Unfortunately we couldn't go for drinks at the Hyatt, or do much else downtown for that matter since everything was closed due to the blackout.
Saturday we came to my place for a while and then he had about 15 people over for a BBQ and out to mod night at Lee's Palace afterwards. Talk about sketchy! It's bad when there's a man in a wheelchair and a man with a biker's hat and spandex short shorts standing outside. It did pick up, and thankfully I had had enough to drink that I was dancing to this undanceable music. Spent my time with Adam (Jon's brother) and Adam's friends mainly. Good times.
Headed home on Sunday since Jon was heading up to Algonquin. Proabbly going down there tonight for dinner, since he leaves on Wednesday. Sort of weird. Don't know what it's going to be like to say goodbye to him. Carol isn't leaving me much time for moping around though, we're going out everyday that weekend.
And I move up to Ottawa on Monday! Excited!!!

"We can't. We're afraid!"
"Come to the edge."
"We can't. We'll fall!"
"Come to the edge."
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.
