Today was Oliver’s end of year concert at school. I’d post a photo but I already packed the camera.
Today was an important meeting at work that we’d been anticipating. Lucky it happened before the evacuation in the afternoon.
Today I think I broke my toe accidentally kicking my desk, after stabbing myself in the arm with a metal shelf bracket last night.
Today there was a 5.5 earthquake centered in Quebec, greatly affecting Ottawa, and slightly affecting the Greater Toronto Area. I was driving to the concert. I missed it. As I mentioned, my office was evacuated- the building was just swaying, apparently.
Today there were tornadoes not far north of us, destroying many homes and injuring some. There may be more coming tonight.
Today it actually maybe seems like we might have this house ready to list, to put up for sale after all. Today, the house looks almost good. Just needs a clean (that’s tomorrow night).
Today I took the dog to the kennel for 3 weeks, and I keep forgetting she’s not here. Who’s going to clean up the kids’ mess from dinner? Oh. Right. Me.
Today we are still packing to go away to England. And probably will be until the last minute.
Today we are worried about getting to that flight, as the G8/G20 world leaders AND protesters descend on our area.
Today we are still worried about the Gulf and the BP oil spill. Even though I want to stick my head in the sand and just worry about my own life.
Today England and USA advanced to the next stage of the World Cup. Happy for both of them.
Today…today was a lot.
I thought I wasn’t looking forward to going away on this trip. I think, actually, any escape right now would be welcomed.
(This post is probably going to be sitting here for a while. I’ll be tweeting while I’m away, of course, but probably not blogging.)

That was so weird reading about the earthquake in Otttawa. At first I thought it was a joke on Twitter. Was this the first time this has happened, or you remembered? What did the kids think?

Somehow the kids missed it and so did I (I was driving) whereas people all around us really felt it. I do remember being woken up by an earthquake in the middle of the night while in Ottawa in about 1995. That’s the only one I’ve ever felt. Just a mini fault like. Nothing like a California quake!

Fault line, I mean. Not fault like.
