Finishing up a long weekend, after several weeks of waiting, with the only consolation being the air conditioning in the office. D is trying to work on her thesis, but if she runs the air conditioner we might blow a fuse. Today I don't know how hot is was, maybe 34 C, though it felt like more because of the humidity.

So it's been hard to do any writing at all, and I may take a longer break still. We're off to Toronto on Wednesday, a work/vacation of sorts. Scraping moments together is the order of things these days. I'll be in training for a couple of days, and I hope to see old friends after that, and then back to Ottawa. And time ticks away.
