End of the day...

Finally! Ok so its early (8pm) but really and truly enough already. My day did not go as planned.

Because the clinic keeps me pretty busy I usually have my supper meals cooked ahead of time. Lunches are usually eaten on the run, a quick peice of fruit or something like that. Suppers are a different story.

I keep my freezer full of single servings so that all I have to do in the morning is take out what I want for supper that night. By the time I close the clinic (after 7) its just a quick reheat and ready to go. If not I would just be starting to cook, and it would be eating too late. I still like to have homemade foods though, much healthier than heavily processed stuff.

For this plan to work I have to do some major cooking every now and again, and today was one of those days. I cooked and cooked and cooked, and now everything is neatly packaged in the freezer.

Another thing that was accomplished today was getting out for a good walk with the dogs. My neighbors a few houses down have added a new member to their family. They are calling it a dog, currently it is just over 1lb, and it isn't suposed to get bigger than 2.5lbs. Really and truly I thought it was a guinipig on a leash (very tired). Its cute I guess if you like that kind of thing. Personally I prefer my dogs (a very healthy 60lbs each) but each to their own.

The latest on the house is another 7 to 9 days of work. Tomorrow the last of the supplies will arrive. There was a mistake made when the measurments were taken last spring. Two windows hadn't been installed yet, and the gentleman doing the measurments forgot to add them into his assessment. So we were short J's (the peices for around the windows and doors). It was an honest mistake, and it really wouldn't have been a problem except that I chose a colour that isn't that common so no one had the extra peices in stock, they had to be ordered in from a larger supplier. This mistake was discovered on a thursday shortly after noon, and all orders for this supplier have to be in before noon on thursday in order to be delivered that afternoon. They only deliver on thursdays... have I mentioned that you shouldn't tempt fate....

Someday soon I will sit down and hash out the whole ordeal of the house, but for now its in bits and peices. However I will say this, the whole thing has been like this. Small mistakes that have caused weeks and months of backups.
