Vacation is over as of tomorrow. Though it now feels that it was far too short, I really enjoyed it and feel that I accomplished a lot. For example:

- Spent a weekend in Pender Harbour and Garden Bay
- Spent a day at Stanley Park and the Vancouver Aquarium
- Spent lots of time with the Dixons
- Spent even more time with my lovely Angela
- Along with Jeff, spent some money at Ikea
- Along with Jeff, spent the time to clean and totally reorganize much of our house

There have been a lot of changes. Iain moved out around the middle of the month. Jeff and I used the opportunity of our brief two-roommate duopoly to make sweeping, autocratic changes to the house (mostly in the kitchen). We were mad with power, but the changes look fantastic.

In case you didn't know, Iain had a "French going away party", where we were all encouraged to look and dress and act French. So there are some truly horrifying pictures of me as a mime. Brace yourself.

Also, it should be mentioned that David is working out just swell. He's a really nice, easygoing guy with great values (indicative of much of the population of Sweden, apparently). I have finally calmed down FULLY about the whole "roommate crisis".

Tomorrow, Automated Filing welcomes back its IT Manager. I hope there's no laundry list of problems waiting for me...
