Weather's a balmy 3 degrees here today. Was cloudy in the morning and the sun came out late in the afternoon.

Life's always good

How about you and everyone else here?

Cheers

Good to hear that all goes well, Mohan. Guess Spring is on the way to your area of our great country. Kudos.

Well, Deborah just sent me an email saying they were about to depart Halifax. Most of the Air Canada flights were cancelled, but Westjet is about to take off for St.John's. Lucky for her, since the bad weather they are getting now in Halifax is headed our way for tomorrow. Winds are now being forecast to hit 130km/h. We shall see.

So Deborah and Gracie are on that flight? I hope they make it ahead of that storm...
I cannot believe how much snow we have got since yesterday... and not a plow in sight! I will never get out tomorrow...
I am shocked at how much has come down since this morning, it wasn't too bad this Am...
it was snowing when I wasn't looking because the few times I peeked out it looked as if it had stopped!
Grrrr... midnight snow run I am thinking...

Well, I hope that Deborah and Gracie get back before the storm - how long a flight is it?

I signed the papers today and I start officially March 7th, Orientation for 4 days and then they can't put me on the schedule again until after my exam. The retirement section that I finished today want me back for hours as well - sort of filling in for people who are off. I gather that the Manager has plans in that area for me.

And then, when I got home, the LTC facility that I went for the group interview at, has called me for my personal interview.......I will phone them back tomorrow and let them know that I have already accepted a position and will reapply if it doesn't work out as expected.

So, thanks to you all for listening to me and my ups and downs for the past couple of years.....truthfully, it has been very very tough - but the uphill battle seems to be levelling off and smoothing out!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leslie - sorry to hear about the snow.....we are up and down with the weather here, but we didn't get the snow they talked about, nor the freezing rain, so not too bad.

Don - sorry about Tao - sometimes dogs do adjust fairly well and I hope that he is one of them. I have always tended to think that animals adjust better then people do.

Yes, they are on the plane and will hopefully arrive in half an hour. We shall see.

Good luck with your snow. This will hopefully not get too bad for you overnight.

130km/h winds will blow our 10-15cm of snow all over the place before the ice pellets and freezing rain coat it all and keep it in place.

Jeanne, "kvell" (i.e., Yiddish for "swell with pride") for this is YOUR moment. You have earned it and deserve a bit of good news .......... along with a good employment position. Excelsior, mon amie.
