July 7

Woke early this am, 5:24 and couldn't go back to sleep.  Too many things running through my head.  Going to be a long day and will probably need a nap.

My sister was scheduled to be here yesterday until the 10th but she got sick.  So sucky for her and I will miss her but she is scheduled to be here for my next session so it won't be too long till I see her again.  My wonderful sister-in-law, Dina, has graciously volunteered and is flying in today.  It will be really nice to spend time together.

To keep my energy up...ha ha...seems like I am always trying to deplete it, we will try and get out to some sites these next few days.  One gets so tired but I noticed that if I do not go out and walk about, it is just harder the next time I do.  I try and balance with a 1/2 for 3/4 day of being out and the next day is a bit of a physical rest day (I work more on these days).  I am balancing work with how I feel when I am here.  You all know me and family is always first but work is right up there too.  I just don't know how to not work.  I worked through chemo last year as well.  I am fortunate to have a job that is and can be done all online which means that I can do it from anywhere.

No nap, but did get out and went to Pacific Centre and across on the ferry to Lonsdale Quay market, we walked around there and got a pineapple slush with mango bursts in it.  Then we hit up Winners on our way back.

Dinner was haddock, rice pilaf and very overcooked zucchini with a spinach salad.  I am not normally a fish eater but this was not too bad at all.

Back at the lodge for the night now.  Will probably watch a movie on Kiarra's new projector tonight.
