I'm home in Vancouver for a whole 4 days. Normally our time off is longer than this, but I have to get back to cover for other people going away. I suppose working more is better for the most obvious of reasons: more work = more money. I'll just keep telling myself that.
I have to say, I'm glad to be back on the west coast. It's just so beautiful here, that it's hard not to miss. I went for a jog outdoors which is something I haven't done since I left. We aren't really allowed to run (or even walk) on the roads on site because there are simply too many trucks going by. I don't think I'd want to run there anyway because there are also mosquitos the size of the trucks, bears, moose, coyotes, and probably a whole host of other animals that would enjoy having Marlaina for dinner. It felt pretty good to enjoy the views from the seawall, but I have to say: I'm so out of shape! I ran a few times on the treadmill at camp, but I just can't run on a treadmill for more than about 20 minutes. It's just so boring. I'd like to run the Fall half marathon, but I don't really see when I'll be able to train for it. I might have to wait for the Spring half.
What else do I have to say about home? Well, it was great to see Brandon and Molly again, and I hope to see lots more people (Willow, Chelsea, Mom etc.) over the next few days. I have a bunch of little things to do while I'm here (pay rent, get my car window fixed, donate yard sale leftovers to charity, catch up on sleep) but I should have lots of free time to enjoy the sunshine and fresh coastal air.
