The mountains have been lacking in snow, which means also that Tofino is unseasonably busy. I am pulling long days at work, and coming home with sore ankles and bruised feet. Just found out that Al doesn't want to open the shop front at ALL this coming summer, which bums me out a little. The regulars that were unswervingly loyal to us won't come by anymore, and I really enjoyed them! having a lazy boss has it's ups and downs. The only good thing about this is that we won't have to make juices for people. That was the bane of the job. Anyway. Today I worked for 9 hours. The first 9 hour shift since summer. I made two batches of muffins, a pan of monkey bars, power cookies, oatmeal cookies, roasted veg and artichoke tapinade, and 40 sandwiches. I sliced, I wrapped, and did a ton of dishes. I placed an order. I delivered food. I listened to Vinyl Cafe on CBC. I love Sundays because of Vinyl Cafe. I look forward to it all week. And THIS time, it just happened to be the recording of when Stew Mclean was in Tofino. Special.
Yesterday, which was gorgeously warm and sunny, I met up with Emily after work and we hiked through a little island set off the beach and watched the sunset with her two little dogs. It was fun. I never, and I mean NEVER, have one-on-one time with a girl just for fun. I don't even know how to do it anymore. Please don't say anything of how it's simple and easy. it's a skill and you can lose it just like anything else! However it was fun and I enjoyed myself.
Now I am sitting at home with my sore feet and thinking about new shoes. Because obviously I need them.
