As I have written, I now get 3 and 4 day weekends with my new job and this is day 3 off of 4, I’m back on Sunday morning. Today is also my third anniversary at IBM. The 3 years has zoomed by for sure.

This week has gone by pretty quickly. On Monday, it was St. Patrick’s Day. I forgot to wear anything green. I don’t own a lot of green either, but that’s ok. I went to Denny’s for dinner and also, officially, started a relationship.

Tuesday and Wednesday are a blue to be honest. I did take a trip over to the Calgary Humane Society on Wednesday. They had 5 or 6 Lab puppies and I brought my dogs with me with the intention of possibly adding a puppy to my pack. Well, Fate intervened and the Humane Society was closed for a function. I take Fate fairly seriously and we haven’t been back to the Humane Society and likely won’t. It was yelling me that it wasn’t time to add to my pack.

I did some running around on Thursday. I toured the local YMCA which is right around the corner from my house and I decided to give it a try. I’d like to get my cardio back up and tone up some as well as lose some weight. Wish me luck, please.

I’m heading down to Crowsnest Pass with a stop in Pincher Creek. I’ll be having coffee with an old friend that I haven’t seen in a number of years and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll be bringing my significant other with me as well, along with Hera and Twix. We’ll then get West to Coleman and hopefully have an early dinner with two friends there. Hopefully there won’t be a lot of snow down in the Pass. It’ll be gorgeous in Calgary but snowy in the South of the province.

I hope to be back in Calgary before it’s dark. Nothing really planned for tomorrow at all. I do plan on starting up at the Y, get into some sort of routine.  Back to work Sunday morning.

I’m really enjoying this current work cycle.  It’s a great work/life balance. I’m enjoying the work as well. Being happy with what you do is so important.

Enjoy your weekend when it arrives.
