Getting there

I've slowly started to feel more comfortable with my job. Or maybe not the job, but the workplace - starting to slowly get familiar with the collegues and the company. This week work-wise has been slow, we've been waiting for developers and I've been learning to play Texas Hold'em poker. Very interesting game, and I can definetly see why people sell their houses and leave their families for the thrills.

I'm still looking how my time table turns out - trying to fit in yoga, meditation, healty eating and work takes probably more time than I have awake. I'm thinking yoga three times a week, meditation and Buddhism class on Wednesdays and cooking on other days (and I seem to count that as a hobby nowadays). It takes a lot but at the moment it would seem a bigger loss to give up any of those... we'll see how it turns out. I'd also hope that Dragon could take up some of the other housekeeping duties - but at least at the moment it's not possible, he hardly even sleeps here.

The summer has finally arrived to Vancouver - the weather is hot and I feel so incredibly lucky living in this city. I walk to work every morning through the Sunset Beach where the geese are just starting to wake up. It's usually calm and quiet, and sun is just starting to come up, just me and couple of other early birds on our way to work, or just walking the dog. I take the little ferry from the beach to Granville Island which is just starting to wake up when I walk through it.

Today after work I did my grocery shopping at the market and then walked back home too - in a sunny evening like today the beach is full of people. Vancouverites love the outdoors and use all the opportunities to get some sun: people walking, jogging, rollerblading, skating, playing volleyball, with their friends, dogs or just alone. Everyone seems to be at English Bay - I was grinning to myself like mad when the waves broke against the seawall spraying me with some refreshing water. I love my life.
