Woke up at 4:00 this morning – massive thunderstorm. One of the crashes of thunder sounded like I was in a garbage can being hit by a sledgehammer – the size of a city bus. A really huge loud noise. Of course it’s not the thunder that’s the real problem – that’s just sound. The lightning must have been pretty bad too, but I put a pillow over my head so I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t raining too bad when I had to get up and go to work.<\/p>\n

A couple of days ago I remembered something that I came up with while canoeing with my uncle several years ago.<\/p>\n

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the river.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Cold things make me shiver.<\/p>\n

Not sure why I remembered that, but it struck me as funny.<\/p>\n

I’ve been helping my friend move. He’s only going from one building to the one right next door, but he only found out he had to move on Wednesday and they’d like him moved by the weekend. And the new place is filled with stuff (it used to be an office\/apartment). And the current buildings entrance is no longer structually sound due to construction. The ceiling could collapse if the posts are “bumped”. <\/p>\n

So, yesterday we tried to quickly and very very carefully move things out and pile them in the new place where we could find room. We’ve still got a lot to do and there’s just no space. I had to resist the urge to flip off the landlord every time we saw him. <\/p>\n

Going to be a busy day here so I’d better get back to it…<\/p>\n
