Busy, busy, busy

It's been a busy last couple of days...

Easter weekend we headed to church for Good Friday service and headed to East Sides for lunch, I was terribly upset that their new menu does not include their super-delicious Mac N Cheese anymore. But life goes on.

Monday morning I had an exam on Drug Addictions but then came home and started spring cleaning everything in sight. I started with my car, which was full on "winter garbage" and other winter accessories (like ice skates, snow brush, ice scraper, etc...) then moved on to my apartment where I have all this junk like "Renters News" from fall 2005 and so much stupid stuff that I didn't need to hang on to. Besides, it makes it easier to clear stuff out and organize when I have to move in August.

I'm moving in with my sister Stephanie, which should keep things pretty lively, and she's bringing with her, Joey, her cat (and he was named after Joey from N'Sync). We're hoping to get into this 2-bedroom terrace in Barrhaven, newly built. Each room has their own ensuite bathroom, and gas fireplace, and A/C and it just looks amazing!

Tuesday, I took Will out on a surprise trip to the Hershey Factory! He had never been, so we even took the tour around to watch how the Reese Peanut Butter Cups, Chocolate Syrup, Oh Henry, and Hershey Almond Bars were made and packaged. It was so cool and he was very excited, that he wanted to buy one of everything in the store! Luckily we didn't buy too much, and we haven't eaten it all in one day, either, thankfully. I don't want the dentist to be yelling at me!!

We also went shopping because we got our income tax refunds and Will really needed some summer clothes and some sandals. We spent 2 hours in Bayshore visiting every store possible trying on all sorts of stuff, and came out with, for Will, 3 pairs of shorts, 5 t-shirts and a pair of sandals and for me I just got a pair of shorts to go running in.

After that we rushed home to drop off our packages and rushed to the airport to pick up my Mom from her trip to Victoria, BC. It took us 40 minutes to get to the airport and another 10-15 to find a parking spot. We get there find that her plane is only delayed 7 minutes, but got their a little early anyway, so we just chilled out on the couch watching the big giant tv on the wall.

We drove my mom home, got some presents, and saw some pictures, and we all drove over to my sister's house so that she could pick up her cat and so that Will and I could go running.

I ended up running 4.5km (my first BIG run of the season) with Will and Steph and was dying right at the end (mostly from my asthma, but some from my stomach cramps). But, waking up this morning, I'm not nearly in as much pain as I was the other times I would start running. So, I've come to a conclusion that I need to run more with Steph in order to be fit enough to run the 10km in the Marathon Weekend at the last weekend in May.

So a lot has been done, a lot more to be done. I still have 2 exams left and still have to find a job (it's really hard out there in the real world) and then find a new apartment to live in.

Busy, busy, busy...
