The past week has been an interesting one. Lots of ups and downs and decisions that had to be made. The weekend was great, I did a lot of rock climbing and went back to Niagara Falls to see some friends. Climbing is getting good, there are more people that come out to climb with us now and some of them are already getting really good. Its interesting to see these guys who have a natural gift at climbing and are already climbing better than I am, when I have put in so much time and effort to get to the level I’m at. Its a really humbling experience, that is for sure. If you’ve ever done any sport I’m sure you know what I am talking about, that one guy who just does things and makes it look effortless. It can make some people jealous, but for me I just get motivated to try even harder.
Saw some friends for a birthday as well. It was so good, to finally see some friends and not have to think about my life and just absorb into theirs. We played poker and I won of course 😉 I really love poker, its such a fascinating game for me. From an outsiders perspective it would seem like a game of luck (those are the guys you can beat the easiest, imo) but really there is so much strategy involved. I wish I had the opportunity to play more often, perhaps in the summer I will give it a go.
Work has been great this past week. Lots of interesting stuff going on and I learned quite a bit. I convinced my coworkers to go rock climbing as a team building exercise next month, lol. It should be fun. Last month we went skiing up at Blue Mountain and that was pretty awesome, although we got lost in Coldwater, Ontario (I have no idea where that is) and ended up 2 hours late. I woke up at 6 am just to get on the road by 7 am so we could get to Blue Mountain by 9:30, but ended up getting there at 11:30. It was still a beautiful day to go skiing and I had a lot of fun. I’m sure rock climbing will be interesting, and by the end of it I will have a bunch of tired out coworkers.
Yesterday I went to see my naturopath. She is such an incredible person, and understands me so well. She has an amazing way of putting things into perspective for me, really one of the few people who actually listens and understands where I am coming from. I get the impression from her that the feeling is mutual, and its a relationship I am really happy to have. Afterwards, I went to see "I Love You, Man " with one of my best mates, and movie buddy. We are going to watch all the movies this summer, just like how we did it last summer. Definitely looking forward to it.
Been playing email tag with a friend. I was hoping to get a way for a week to recharge my batteries but we keep having scheduling conflicts. No biggy, though, I am pretty sure it will work out in the end. A battery recharge is something I could use right about now. Things are looking good. I should be able to get back to a healthy balanced schedule within the next month or two. That’s the plan anyways. Of course we all know plans never really go according to plan 😉
