A vacation from our vacation
We're back briefly in TO after being in Nanookville since the evening of 3 August.
Tomorrow we are attending and presenting to an Ontario Municipal Board hearing regarding a condo development that is going up very near our house. Now, I know that we're not going to change the board's mind by our impact statements (there are six of us speaking on individual topics), but we have to let our voices be heard before the developer puts the damn thing up. Call it a final act of defiance.
While in Nanookville, I have been hiding out and socializing as little as possible. The only people I've seen on a regular basis are the folks at the barn where I keep my horse, Jordan. I've been seeing those folks every day!
When I get as exhausted as I was prior to this vacation, I feel too fragile and fatigued to interact with other people; even those that I love dearly. I need to take a break from the human race to get my strength back. Oh, we had three people over one afternoon, and I did go to Tanya and Brian's Jack and Jill on Saturday night at her parents' place, but other than that it's just been DP and I.
I've been away from reading LJ too because we've only got dial-up in Nanookville, and the phone line we use to "dial-up" is also our phone line. So no time to linger over other people's posts. I've been making do with Facebook. Alas.
But enough of my rambling. I've got to rework my impact statement for tomorrow's hearing, as well as work on a document that I've put off until the very last moment (which is due tomorrow).
