The week that was started on a terrible note. The weather got a bit colder again but we could handle that. Monday when I got to work, we noticed that it was cold in the office and it was....there was problem with the heating. It was sooooo cold that we worked the whole day with our coats on. One younger staff had her toque on and her hood up. I decided to walk home even if it was -22 degrees!!!
I passed by Rexall drug store to get 2 boxes of tissues and a can of pineapple I needed to do square. Then on to my building. I realized then as soon as I got into the lobby that something was wrong. They had a water pipe burst and it was like small waterfall inside the elevators. To wait for it to be fixed or start going up the 23 floors was my dilemma. I has no idea how long it will take to get it repaired so I had no choice but walk up. I was wearing my long winter coat so it was a bit uncomfortable going up, I decided to take if off and carry it with my Rexall bag and my own big tote bag.
I told the office staff I was going to take the stairs and I have my cell phone and I will call her if I start getting chest pains to call me an ambulance. To my surprise, I got to my floor in 17 minutes!!!!! And I was not huffin and puffin. I guess my walking 16 or more city blocks everyday got me in better shape.
The week got better and Friday, two of my close friends and I decided we were going out and then come back to my place to talk and reminisce. We were still in the restaurant and we were already having a fun time remembering all kinds of stuff. We came back and made turon for dessert and continued with reminiscing and we were laughing so hard and loud I had to close my patio door. It was also time for serious venting and discussion. They left my place at 1:00am. Marissa and Raquel, what a really great time we had. We are going to do it again.
