walk walk walk and walk ... with a wait in there somewhere

I now sympathise with people who have to take the bus all the time, and have always had too. I guess not so much if you have a bus stop in front of your house, but if you have a walk ... Not that I really mind walking, but it feels like I'm back and forth to the stop so often that I could do it with my eyes closed ... Hey, actually, there's an idea that would save me time, or at least allow me to sleep in a bit longer.
Anyway, on an unnocturnal note or two I had a good weekend, as I believe I would. Never got to church, but walked about 10 kilometres looking for it, and finally found it y the time church was almost over. I'm telling you, there wa a discrepancy in the maps we looked at. We had a nice Bible study-type time on our own when we got back. Sunday was a beautiful day weather wise, and in this case by beautiful I mean slightly warm with a clear blue sky, leaning to a hint of crispness!
I've been getting some contact from people at home, which has been really nice, and makes me feel more comfortable being away for the time being. I figure out that I can come home for my niece's birthday, and won't have to go back until just before mine!! That was exciting to realize... :)
The Leafs have been doing well, as I'm sure you are all aware, and I'm looking forward to actually being able to watch more than just highlights, when the regular season starts next Thursday.

The most awesome thing I saw this week: Was walking out to wait to get picked up for hockey, and there was a doe (a deer, a female deer) on the driveway. She sort of eyed me, then slowly walked off to the neighbour's yard. I watched her for a moment, then went and sat at the end of the driveway. A minute or so later I hear a rustling in the shrubs along the lane, look back and see her baby fawn walking through the garden. It was something. It had something wrong with one of its back legs, so as the doe came back to get him, and he followed her off, he kept having to flop down and take breaks from what was the obviously strenuous task of walking. It was cute but a little sad, but maybe it'll get better as the fawn gets older. Later on in the evening, while in the car heading to hockey, we came across 3 grown deer meandering acros the street. Yay for wildlife in the city!! (I don't know whether that's sarcastic or not ... sort of like if I said "Thanks for getting me into Inkheart, Luke; I can't put it down, even when I have work to do!" ;))

The most unusual thing I saw this week: A guy with calves that were as disproportionately large as Popeye's forearms are ... honestly, they were CRAAAAAZY huge.
