FEBRUARY 2010

KEEP LOOKING FOR MY NEW ADVENTURES....WELL OUR NEW ADVENTURES. WE SHOULD KNOW WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS WHAT'S NEXT FOR US OR WERE WE WILL BE SPENDING THE NEXT 7-8 MONTHS.

THE END SEPT. 27th

Well 5 days left at the Resort after spending 5 month working here. It was a fabulous adventure and looking forward to come back next year but certainly not as the staff cook. Need to meet with John and Adele this fall and see what's the plan for next year and I'll then decide if I come back or not.
Leaving for Vegas with Marc and Pascal on the 30th for 6 days. We have tickets for LOVE Cirque du Soleil and ACDC. Mathieu got a house for rent on Chesterman Beach, long term rental he's apparently not coming back to the Resort next year?
Meesha will have a good time there running on the Beach.
Well till next time, love you all.

New Adventures

Well lots of stuff has happen since my last post. I was last home on Aug 3-4-5-6 and I don't think I'll be able to return before the end of the season around Aug 27th. The staff cook at the resort was fired and because we were slow in the office i offered to cook for the remaining of the season. Wow big job for only one person but I am managing. Long hours but I do get breaks during the day. The first few days was a bit panicking seeing all those people coming in a rush for dinner. Marc has spent 4 days with me and he was a great help. We wish he could stay up with me for the rest of the season but he had to go to work. By the way about work he's back diving, it was a rough return but he made it and he's happy that he was able to go back. Only the future will tell what will come out of this.
I am still doing a bit of office work here and there specially for payroll.
Friends from dragon boat Liz and Steve will come to spend a few days helping me in the kitchen. Wow this resort is lucky, free labour. Hope the treat them well.
Marc was suppose to go work in Tofino this weekend but it's red tide so he will probably come back to stay with me, I hope anyway. There was a cougar sighting yesterday around the resort and we were told no to go for walk by ourselves. I haven't done lots of updates as i write more on facebook. I am planning a trip to Vegas with Rollande on Oct 1st for a few days. It will be weird getting out of here.
See ya all soon

Long weekend

Only been one once this month for 3 days, this weekend I have a visitor. Nicole came to visit me for 4 days. We will go on the zipline this afternoon hopefully and she's having a pedicure right now. She's amazed by this place but who wouldn't.
We will be going home together on Monday and will be in town for a few days. Marc is getting back on Tuesday can't wait to see him. Pascal started his motorcycle course this morning for 4 days, lucky bugger.

JULY 25TH

Another week in paradise, nice weather 23-24 everyday. I've been up for a hike with mon amie Sophie to Penny Falls. We left at 9:30am and were back at 12:30. Had lunch, check my email and slept for the rest of the day. But off course by midnight I was still not sleeping. Friday I spent most of the day in the laundry room as Ruth is gone to town for her daughters wedding. It was kind of cool just by myself in there. I had time to relax and think a lot.... that I miss Marc and I can't wait for him to be back.
Had a great massage last night from Sophie and now I am trying to find time for a pedicure and a facial. Check my facebook for pictures.

July 20th

Well well lots of stuff has happened since my last post. Everything at the resort here is cool, still like my job but I must admit I find it a bit hard not to be in control like when I had my own business. I see so much stuff that needs improvement but can't really do anything about it.
I went home week end of July 11 and spent lots of time with my friends at the Dragon Boat Festival, was lots of fun. Pascal drove me back to Tofino with Bobine and back to work for another 2 weeks or so. John and Adele left for the Yukon for a week. They are planning another resort up there. Sue the sales director came from Nanaimo to spent the weekend with me in the office is was super fun. Lots of stories, laugh and tears. 2 more staff are gone, 4 so far. It was quite a story for one. This young guy started to act funny and I suspected he was hallucinating and by dinner time last night I said we need to do something and get him out of here. So phone calls to his parents, hospital and coast guard as he didn't want to leave the resort and was getting more and more agitated 2 RCMP showed up. It took 2 hours to finally be able to get him on the boat. He became so agitated that he got the cop by the throat and they had to taser him down and handcuffed him. Poor guy I felt so bad for him and all the other staff were shoked and couldn't understand what was happening. I was so frustrated with one of the staff as she was playing god and wouldn't take any of my advice ( afterall I did spent almost 4 years working in psychiatry ) I had almost convinced him to come to Tofino on the boat with me when she got involved and totally ignore me. Anyway his parents came to pick him up in Tofino and he's back to Nanaimo I think.
I got Marc's return ticket will be home on Aug 4th can't wait I miis him so much and find it hard not to be with him during all his crazy adventure.
Will take a day off on Wednesday, sleep late and go for a hike with Sophie.
Will stay here until Marc gets back home. Pascal is so excited he got his motorcycle license, looking for a motocycle now. Mathieu his ob his 4 days off with Meesha. Poor Meesha, she has a lump on her neck now. She seems OK not suffering or in pain but it's always one thing after the other. And my little Bobine I wish she would be here with me but she's home with Pascal and she gets to sleep in her bed.

AMEN
