Where has summer gone?

It is only late August, yet we are experiencing temperatures significantly colder than August should be!  We went from the mid 30’s (which is brutal in a suit) to just 10 degrees today. What gives Alberta?

Upon returning to work in mid-July, I have coordinated 2 concerts and 2 walk & runs.  Work has been so busy; I have barely taken a lunch break over the last month.  When it is brutally hot outside and your office is air conditioned, missing lunch doesn’t actually feel so bad.  The concerts both went very well from all perspectives, now I am spending my days trying to ensure that our CRTC commitments to the artists are fulfilled.

The boys have been very happy with our choice of day care this summer, they now bust through the door when we arrive!  Their Nana and Papa bought them a trampoline about a month ago and both of them have quickly become very competent on it for their ages. We have had a large number of visitors this summer mainly from BC, which has been very nice.  When we don’t have company and I’m not actually working at the station on the weekends, housework then demands my attention.  This weekend I will put the final touches on our deck.  I find working on the house to be very fulfilling however Amber thinks that love of home repairs is crazy!

We are off to Penticton for a RED FM staff retreat the following weekend.  This trip will be the first time that we will be able to pack all of the staff from both stations into the same room and force them to get to know each other!  Should be interesting, as only a few of us formally know everyone from both stations.  I think that I’ll just sit back and enjoy the shenanigans!

I have about 10 projects on the go for this fall at work; let’s hope the snow doesn’t make work seem any crazier than I already imagine it will be :)
