rainy friday

dear family and friends, i am sitting at my desk in my room on metcalfe street, facing the window, listening to pachelbel's canon in d, constant rain is falling outside. i am drinking rooibus chai tea and nibbling on a 'lebkuchen' that my sister brought from germany. i feel lazy today and comfortable cozy. i don't really feel like leaving the house. but i am working at 1pm. my sister has left to see toronto for the day so i brought her to the bus on the corner this morning and then went straight back to bed.
it is nice to have her here. i showed her the cornerstone and the people i work with and who become my family away from my family in germany. she met rowan yesterday and we went to a transition town meeting together. transition guelph is a project that is happening in different towns all over the world i believe. the idea is to prepare for the peak-oil and post-oil times. it was quite interesting.
i think i will hop back in bed for a little bit. i will work later and cause it is friday and we'll have life music i expect it to be a stressful shift..:)
hope everyone will at on point treat themselves with a long and lazy morning..
love, jewels

Hi Jewels,
Sounds like you are having a good visit with your sister in your new found home. Who is Rowan? Send us your reg. mail address - there is something i want to send you. And think about whether you would like to come visit around Christmas, too.
We are having a very sweet teacher here this weekend, Komal. He lives in texas but grew up in India; lived as a hermit in the Himalayas when he was younger. Small group of people; talking friend to friend about how a flower cannot be pushed into blossoming and that nature is the greatest teacher. You would like it!
love S~
