Oooh, shiny

I mentioned the lovely light from my office window the other day. Tonight there’s a complete double rainbow in the sky — two complete semicircles. The sky is a deep blue outside the inner bow, but inside it’s a glowing gold. The buildings and trees of Lougheed and Burnaby Mountain are glowing as well.

Yummy.

Aaaargh

I was going to write something pleasant about the quality of the light looking out over Burnaby yesterday afternoon, but after two and a half hours sitting in traffic I’m not inclined to.

Anybody who stalls a semi on a major bridge should be forced to run across the bridge seven times in their underpants.

In other news, I made it to the gym this morning. Woohoo, 2 for 2!

50 Ways…

I have quit my Taekwondo class. My schedule in the evenings was such that I only got to one or two practices a week, so I’m losing condition and getting injured. And the last straw was when one of the teenagers complained that I pushed, shoved or otherwise abused him.

So today was the first day of my new fitness regimen. Made it to the rec center at 6:30, but my hopes for blissful solitude were not to be; by 6:35 all the cardio machines were in use, and there were at least a dozen people working out. Grr.

It’s always embarrassing starting out again, working at such a leisurely pace, while everyone beside you is racing madly away.
