Pre-trip surprise

 I was going to get ready for my trip by taking it easy the last couple of days, however chance would have it things didn't work out that way.  It started off with a freak snowstorm and they closed work early, I tried to make it up the hill with my little car but 'no way jose' so I turned around and headed back to work where I would leave the car.

Well as I was slowing to stop at a stop sign a jeep skid into my lane and CRUNCH went my new paint job..... by someone at work, but he was good about it, told me he'd pay for the damages so all will be well...... oh yeah his jeep was fine.

So that set me up for a day of running around looking for parts and a place to repair the car.  It will have to wait till I get back.

This morning however another surprise a call from my sister's phone at 7am could only mean two things, one something big happened to my parents that I needed to know OR.... BABY TIME!!!!

see my sister was due on the 28th of November so I was expecting to be away when the little bugger came, but as we speak I am waiting in the hospital and I made it just 2 minutes short of actually seeing her.

When I walked into the room there were doctors-and-nurses-and-curtains-oh-my!" So I made it all the way from Victoria to sit in a waiting lounge by myself.... but at least there is wifi!!!!

I don't think me and my sister will be able to go out for dinner as planned.
