Give me boats, fruit and angels and call it a day.

I do absolutely love how when I drive home from work I see something new everyday. There always seems to be a new boat in the harbor or some odd house I missed every other time before I went that path. Due to all the winding, narrow streets, every day can be a new adventure. If I only had a way to take photos from all the bridges in town…but alas! Come tourist season, there will be harbor cruses. How amazing! It may very well be something I do on a weekly basis. I may trade it off with other boat tours. It might akso be fun to go out a ways in the ocean and spend an afternoon watching whales.

I also have discovered the best grocery store ever! I think it may even be better than the Merc back home. Food there is expensive, but what’s new in my life? Seriously, the story of my life, where’s the money? I’m finding it hard to remain positive when I make so little money doing a job that is really quite stressful. There is by far nothing more depressing than working several hours a week, only to find by the time a pay check comes around, not having enough for life’s simple pleasures.

Regardless, I find myself sneaking over there and spending a dollar now and again just to sample the sweet luxury that is high quality food. There is just something about gourmet chips and fresh fruit that gets me going with excitement.

That reminds me of another point. If it does become the case that this country has a national health care system, is someone going to address the fact that healthy food is so expensive? I was just wondering.

Alas, life continues. Thankfully, I’ll be working fewer hours this week and in the upcoming weeks so maybe I will regain my sense of self long enough to read a good book or make some snow angels.
