Dear Ben Cross (Letter 53)
Dear Ben,
Hope you are well and enjoying relaxing at home.
Things here have been hectic. So hectic in fact that I've been going a little crazy and have missed a couple of things because I was just too tired to do them. Such is life.
This morning I was late to get to my volunteer commitment for the Calgary Corporate Challenge 10 km Race. I set my alarm to go off twice. Both times I evidently turned it off and went back to sleep. Oh well...at 6:30 am I ran out of bed, rushed around and got to where I was supposed to go by 7:15 am. Missed the briefing and the group photo. Oh well.
I had a great time at the registration table being a gopher and then handing out water bottles and bananas to runners after the race. It was actually a blast.
I also got paid $50 to eat a hamburger. Actually 2. I did it as it was part of a forum group but felt queasy on my way home. Oh well. $50 is $50.
On Monday I sent a handwritten letter to a real penpal. I hope she responds. Writing you is great but it's rather one sided.
I also started a Ham Radio course. This is actually the second time round as I failed it the first time. I WILL NOT be defeated!!
The course is actually held by the airport. As I drove near it I started feeling a lot of anxiety. Plane ride soon!
Well, it's now Tuesday. Work has been hellish.
And Wednesday. See how things are going these days? 8 days before game.
It's been an exhausting two weeks. I'm suffering from game burn out and I haven't even been to it yet. Totally my fault of course. I am still SUPER EXCITED obviously! Just taking it easy right now.
Everyone is telling me to relax :) What is this relax people speak of?
Anyway, I'm finally going to post this. Sorry it's been so long.
Gail
