Pulling Dragons From The Gound

This past week off has been both a blessing and a bit unfortunate. Instead of heading back to work last Wednesday night, my start date was pushed back to this Saturday night due to a long rig move. It was great that I had the extra time off, and I tried to make the most of it by relaxing (both the mind and the body), tackling some unfinished chores around the house, scheduling more than a few dates with Nicole, and taking Maizey to the off-leash park whenever possible. For the most part, I couldn't be happier with the past ten days.

However, the downside is that I've lost 3-shifts worth of income, which is fairly substantial.

I'll be heading out east to Lloydminster, which means I'll be stopping by Vegreville this afternoon to visit my parents and visit my Baba at the hospital. She drove into a moose just outside of Two Hills, and aside from some cuts and bruises from glass and the airbag, she's in remarkably good shape! I'm sure she'll appreciate the visit, and I'm thankful she's doing so well.
