This is a good Sunday edition list. I have been contemplating some changes I need to make to my life to make living more pleasant. Some of them include:
- Waking up before 10am on weekends because it makes me very grumpy on Monday. I blame this on the dog, who cannot sleep in and must be let out to pee. I know people who have children are making fun of me because they haven’t slept since the inception of their child, but I have the luxury of sleeping in. And I feel I should take advantage of it.
- Heat — our bill has increased 766% in the past month. The good news is that our ancient looking radiators are working well. That bad news is that I got too comfortable to a warm house, and now I am going to have to wear a sweatshirt inside.
- Worktime lunches. My office is downtown, but located on a steep, steep hill, and it is a 10 minute walk downhill to all of the restaurants. I know this sounds lame, but that is why 95% of my office brings their lunch everyday. I am trying to do this, but everyday at lunch time, I dread eating my meal. I hate what I brought, whether it is leftovers or a sandwich. Must plan more exciting lunches, and a better variety.
- Figuring out the shoe/clothing situation. People in Montreal keep extra pairs of shoes in their offices. One of my co-workers even has a few different suits in his office. This is so you can wear a different pair of shoes TO work, and then change into more formal ones AT work. Or, if you ride your bike, change into your suit at work. I am struggling to figure this out — not sure how I feel about keeping my shoes in the office. What if I need them over the weekend? Plus, my pants are different lengths. This is really perplexing for me.
- Setting up skype dates. Lisa — are you there? Can we arrange to be on skype at the same time? Please?

Yes!!! We can do that! Send me a list of proposed times that you will not be walking your new dog, at your new job or blogging on your new life in Montreal!
And I will see if that corresponds to when I am not speding too many hours at the office, not chasing three children around, and not sleeping!
I actually often bring a pair of shoes with me in a bag to work…I’m the same way, I can’t stand the thought of possibly needing the shoes over the weekend, or even at night.
