I have started swimming at night instead of the morning I am thinking that I should start to go back in the mornings since I feel more a wake during the day when I swim in the morning.
I have started crocheting. I tried it several years ago and I started an afghan and I just finished it last week. Now I am trying out more stitches and my squares that I am crocheting are starting to look less lopsided. Now I am looking for more patterns to see what project I should complete next.
I am now back at work and am happy that Phil came out of retirement and is working in the office again. I also spent an entire day at an apartment trying to figure out how to turn on the elevator after the fire alarms went off and the sprinkler system failed and flooded the basement. This meant that I had to sit and wait on the elevator company to turn the elevators back on according to what the fire department informed me.

This made me laugh...
When I went to do my inspections today I went into a building and saw this sign.
Missing
2.5 foot green snake. Non verminous. If found please return to unit 102.
I hope no one is awakened when a snake crawls over them in the middle of the night because we would be the first ones to know :-)

One of my Favorite Psalms
Psalm 139
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2. You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3. You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4. For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5. You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7. Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8. If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9. If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10. Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12. Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13. For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15. My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18. If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
19. Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20. For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21. Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22. I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24. And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

23. Search me, O God, and know my heart;

24. And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Two Years...
It has been two years since I started working at Helm as a Secretary. Over these two years I worked my was up to a property manager. In some ways it seems like it has been a flash but in other ways it seems like it has been forever.
When I started here I took the job planning never to work in the evening again. I wanted a 8 to 4 job so I would have a "regular" job. I had been working at many jobs that I had to working evenings and I thought I was missing so much that I needed a normal job. Little did I know that I would have to go to meetings in the evening after just a couple of months.
When I got the call from the employment agency I almost did not take the job. I was waiting to here back for a job that I had applied for and I thought it would be the perfect job. When I go the call at 7 am in the morning I never new that this job would last for this long. Actually I was just Happy to have any job since I never worked in almost 2 months before that it was the longest time that I did not work since I was 15 and my first vacation in 5 years.

Holidays...
Starting tomorrow I am going to be on holidays for a week. I am currently not sure what I will be doing for the week but I have another week of holiday left this year and I need a break from all of this stress.
Tomorrow I will try and finish as much work as I can and then I will go home and not think of work for a week :-). It will be so nice to sleep in past 5:15 am. I cannot wait!!!!
Well I have to go to the south side for a walkabout. (My last meeting before my Holiday :-)) Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do for my holiday?

Wedding and a Baby Shower
Today we went to the wedding of Jessica and David Stolk it was a beautiful wedding and we had wonderful weather for their special day. Autumn is such a beautiful time to get married and the pictures are turn out great because of the wonderful color of the leaves as they change color.
After the wedding I went to Shannon and Ryan's baby Ryley's Baby shower. It was a lot of fun. We played the traditional baby games that I have not played before and I even won a prize. A framed picture of their adorable baby Ryley. I won a prize at her wedding shower as well which is weird because I usually never win prizes at showers.
Now Shauna and I are having a sisters night at home while the rest of the family is at the reception. It is nice to have a relaxing day off.
