Down Time

I have been on a rather steady pace for about a year. I'm 3 days into a four day long weekend for Easter. It has been a very low key week-end which is what I need. I, like many people, seem to keep myself busy. For the most part I like to be busy but from time to time I just like to chill out and not keep any sort of schedule. This feeling only lasts a few days most of the time but when I am enjoying it.

It's important to be you. We seem to gravitate toward who we are. I took my current job in Ottawa because I figured it would have less work travel. It seems to have a very similar amount. That may be because it just how I know how to work. I'm a be out there and see how it's going kind of guy. I like to try it myself and I like to know as much as possible. It may not seem relevant today but the knowledge can bear fruit many years down the road.

As much as I like to stay busy, or at least I tell myself that, I do like the occasional bit of down time. I like the days where dozing off in the afternoon is ok. I eat when I want and I don't have to keep a schedule. It can't last too long. I can't handle two weeks of living like that but four days sure seems to be doing me well.

I'm enjoying some down time and it will help reinvigorate me for the workweek ahead.

Warp Speed

My relocation to Canada's National Capital is picking up steam. All that is really left is I need to find a place to live. I will be in Ottawa next week to accomplish this very task. Everything else is in place. I have the moving truck booked. I have spoke to my current landlord and they know I will be vacating at some point in the near future. The dishes are done. I am pretty much ready to go.

The entire activity has sure pick up speed in a hurry.

The entire thing feels very real now. I am starting to notice all the things in Winnipeg that I will miss. I know there are new adventures waiting for me in my new city, but its hard not to look back.

Looking forward I think the pace of life is going to pick up. I have never lived in Ontario before but from what I can tell, it moves at a different speed than Manitoba. I don't know if this will be good or not but I will find out. I like to be going all the time or at least have the option to be going all the time. I grew up in a small town. I know what its like. If I wanted to live in a small town, I would.

If everything goes as planned, about 3 weeks from now I will be resident of Ottawa. If it doesn't go well, I will get there when I get there.
