hectic days
I haven't blogged in about three weeks and it seems like so much has happened already. We had a bit of a scare amidst our family recently. My mosom was taken into the hospital via ambulance and was in the Intensive Care unit for awhile. He is now doing a lot better and has been moved out of the Intensive Care and moved up to a regular ward. The doctor says he should be out in about a weeks time. That is great news. It was the first time in a long time that I had seen my whole family. It was like a family reunion at the Emergency room that night.
I had taken a week holiday so far. During my holidays, I had lost myself for awhile! I was able to find myself a couple days later, with a bit of help of course. That was a bit hectic and crazy, but was fun and it gave me yet another interesting story.
I had started writing this entry earlier on this week or maybe it was last week. I can't really remember. I was just reading Tash's blogger the other day and I am so excited for her. Here she is going on a trip down to the states and then moving to France. How exciting is that! I am starting to feel real bad here. She had gotten her Canadian Visa awhile back and has been in my country for what a year now? And I haven't been able to make my way over to Quebec to go and meet her. How great of a friend am I! Maybe her moving to France will get me motivated to start saving money so I can go on a grand trip sometime. Or maybe, I am secretly waiting for her to go back to Australia because for as long as I can remember, I had always wanted to go to Australia. I remember when I was a little kid, a teacher once asked me where I wanted to go and I had said "Australia!" I didn't even know where that was at that time, but I had my heart set on going there.
Some memories came rushing back to me this past weekend. But, I was able to handle it. I have grown. This past Saturday, I had received a call from back home saying that three boys had capsized their canoe out on the lake and only one of them had made it back to shore. They had started a search party that day. Just the words "search party" had brought back memories of when we had to start one for my brother. I will always remember the heartache that I went through while walking though those bushes and shrubs, hoping against hope that I wouldn't find him, but rather that he would magically show up alive and well. I can talk about him without crying. I can laugh and joke about him. Thus, I have grown. It wasn't those memories that had came rushing back to me though, but rather the memory of people putting aside their differences and coming together as a community to help and support the family. I didn't know the two boys very well. I had just known to see them as they were from the same community. It was the support and help from friends and family that had helped me and I knew that I had to be there to help out.
I feel like I have written a novel already.

holidays
I am actually on my holidays! I have this whole week off and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I have been off from work as of Wednesday, June 15th, 2005 at 5:00 p.m. Here I was afraid that I would go absolutely crazy with so much time on my hand, but I have actually been busy everyday so far. We had our golf tournament this weekend at the Dakota Dunes which is around 20 kilometeres out of Saskatoon. It was our poorest turnout for golfers, but it was because there was another golf tournament going on at the same time. Other than that, it turned out pretty good. I had fun.
Not exactly sure what all I want to accomplish during my holidays. My only goal so far, is to clean out my storage room. Thats a reasonable goal, I figure. Something I know I could probably achieve. My goal for tonight is too sleep. Sleep sounds like heaven. I slept for 3 hours lastnight. Yeah, am really enjoying my holidays :)

my mosom...
This picture was taken this past winter. My mosom was out ice fishing. Fishing "old-school" style! Nowadays, there are some fancy fishing huts around. Fishing huts are like little houses that people use while out ice-fishing. Their major job would be to block out the wind so it will more comfortable while fishing. There are a few of them that have little stoves built right inside them so people can use that to keep their huts warm or to do a bit of cooking. That would be most ideal for me! But my mosom, on the other hand, still ice fishes like he did back in his day.
