Greetings from O'Hare! I meant to post before we left, but yesterday was a bit hectic.
Yay Blackhawks! That was an amazing season, and the playoffs were *so* much fun. I almost feel bad for the Bruins. Almost. If they'd been playing anyone else I would have been cheering for them, but not this time. I'm kind of glad it's all over, though, so I don't have to schedule around watching hockey games any more. It's not like the Cubs are worth paying attention to.
We're leaving for Canada today. Our flight to Toronto is delayed by an hour, and I hope that'll be it, because we've got a late afternoon flight to Moncton. And we need to be in Souris, PEI, at 1pm tomorrow to catch a ferry, so if we get into Toronto too late things could get interesting. *crosses fingers*
June has been kind of boring, really. Work is really, really slow, and one of my vacation projects is to get started on a job-hunting workshop I signed up for. I have got to figure out what it is I want to do and how to find it, because I'm bored out of my skull right now. The other excitement was getting our furnace and A/C replaced... the furnace died in February, and the repair guy managed to get it running but told us it wouldn't last very long, then our next-door neighbor told us she was putting up a 6-foot fence because our A/C was so loud, so we figured we might as well bite the bullet and replace the whole thing. The new ones are tons more efficient than the old--it'll be interesting to see what our electric bills look like this summer.
What TV shows should I be watching? I'll keep on with Doctor Who, although I didn't find the last half of series 7 interesting at all, and I'm looking forward to White Collar starting up again, but there's nothing else grabbing me right now. I must be missing something, right? (And, please, don't say Game of Thrones. Not my thing. Although it sure is fun reading everyone else's reactions.)
(This bluetooth keyboard doesn't appear to have an end key. Weird.)
And that's it for now. Will try to be more interesting next time. I'm looking forward to seeing the Magdalen Islands--it's supposed to be kind of chilly, but it'll be nice to be so close to the ocean. Have a good week, y'all!
....
It's now an hour after I typed that. Our flight to Toronto was cancelled, so we're now flying to Halifax via Montreal, and still driving to Moncton tonight. Getting everything sorted out has been really complicated, and we're still trying to figure out the rental car, but the Air Canada gate agent was amazingly helpful. I got lucky and noticed the cancelled status on the website before they announced it, so we were right at the front of the rebooking line, thank heavens.
So here we sit we board in two hours, theoretically. Cross your fingers.
