Really ... that is it?

Up and down she goes.

Seriously even I can not keep up with what kind of mood I am in this week such has been the frequency of my heart going up and down. I can't really figure it out ... no apparent reasons for the increased variance only totally valid reasons for each shift. Does that even make sense ... clear as pie to me (he he he).

So thrilled because I got my new flooring in. The day I moved in I noticed a small bump in the lino ... this small bump soon spidered into a fully developed spiderweb spread out over the entirety of my kitchen floor. I was sure that it was not there when I did my walk through but really had no way to prove that ... so I just figured that I was screwed and I would just have to avoid looking down (on the positive side that would mean I could not clean my floor very often). I did decide to mention it though when I had my one month inspection ... and the service man gave me the news that made me feel like I had won a small lottery. My unit was one of four in which the gyptite (I don't really know what it was called ... I was calling it crypite until my neighbor sweetly corrected me after laughing of course) had cracked and for some reason the cracks make the lino bubble. He nicely went on to tell me that unfortunately they would have to redo my floor with laminate. Yes, how unfortunate ; )
So there it is in all its glory ... making my place feel even warmer and more beautiful.
I do have to confess that I was a little ticked when I say white caulking along the seams where the floor meets the cabinets ... with a few choice grumblings about how ridiculous this looked I nicely bent down and stuck my finger in it to find that it stuck to my finger ... which quickly lead to the realization that it had not dried yet ... and would likely dry clear ... with a hole where my finger visited. Ohhh Heather.

When I realized that I could barely see one of the lines on my tummy this morning I gave into the inevitable fact that I was indeed going to have to drive my tired little but across town to the hospital to be drawn on. Getting there, parked, and to the right place took a good hour and a half ... the "procedure" took half a minute. This is pure silliness! Fortunately they decided to not try the silver markings again as apparently my skin is tres sensitive and I had little red wounds where they put it last time ... yes, I will probably scar. I really do believe that by the time I leave this earth I will just be one huge scar.
Speaking of wounds ... dragon boating is starting up again in the middle of May. I have signed up and hope to be able to survive again this year. I forgot how much I loved it and just how many fabulously wonderful people on the team are. I can't wait to get out on the water. It is truly such a treat to be able to be on the water each week ... you don't even feel like you are in Calgary. You were all so generous last year ... I still can't believe that you guys pledged over a grand ... INCREDIBLE. What should we go for this year? Five grand? Yeah, that might be pushing it a little ... but the sky is the limit kids.
I know a lot of you had expressed interest in paddling this year but I can't remember who you all are ... soooo let me know and I will get you the information.

This is really not that big of a deal but it is really quite amazing. I went for a run last night. I have been running my 5 km on the treadmill but really had no concept of how that would translate outside. So I set off, picked a random route and hoped that it was close to my normal distance. Because I am a nerd ... I got in my car and drove my route to see what I had run ... 5 Km on the freaking dot ... I am serious ... I know ... I could not believe it either! Craziness!
