Bon appetit!

Day #8

So I don't really know much about blogging, nor have I ever really read a blog.  But, since I'm going to be away for 8 months, I thought this might be kind of neat to try.  We will see how this goes, how often I update this.  I don't really have much else to do while I'm away except:

1. Go to Work
2. Go to the Gym
3. Play PS3
4. Check Facebook and Twitter
5. FaceTime Gwen
6. Sleep

Today was a somewhat typical day for me: woke up, went for breakfast, talked to Gwen, went to the gym, ate some lunch and now writing this.  

I must admit, I am getting tired of the hotel breakfasts... I'm not a "runny" scrambled eggs person so other options today were biscuits and gravy (no thanks, trying to watch my figure because Gwen said I have to come back looking like Van Wilder), oatmeal, fruit, waffles, toast/bagels and muffins.  So, I elected to go with the oatmeal, thought it has been a long time since I had "porridge".  However, this wasn't like my Mom's oatmeal, this was watered down something awful.  I tried loading it with brown sugar but it really didn't help.  Oh well, I know for tomorrow I guess.

The gym here is quite nice (Energie Cardio) and is very close (if it wasn't raining it would have been a 5 min walk from the hotel.  I wish that Good Life was like this gym as there was NO ONE there.  When I showed up, there was one guy showering and 4 people in the gym.  As time went on, more people showed up to a crowd total of (maybe) 20 people.  I hope it is this "busy" during the week because this will be the gym I will go to probably every day so that I can wait out the rush hour traffic at 5:00.

Ah, traffic - I thought Winnipeg was bad.  Well, after my stint in Montreal I'm sure that I will laugh at the 10 mins variability in the drive time, unlike the 30 min variability that I am expecting here...

Well, it should be about time to try and re-update my iPhone to iOS 6.  Let's hope this time it doesn't crash my phone again... (at least this time the phone is backed up more recently than December 2011).
