Grandpa Bird, Canada day, work and the NS Tattoo

Grandpa Bird

well i have a few things to cover, so I'll start with Lee's grandpa. Last week or so he fell down and hurt his back, and few days later he fell again and broke his hip, they put him on some drugs to to the pain away, and with those drugs it put him into a coma He'd open his eyes every once and a while but it wasn't really him looking around. He never cam out of the coma, and died Tuesday night(Canada day) at 7:30. This weekend is his funeral, along with today being some family get together.
Lee adored him, he was after all like a father to him and is sisters. Even though I didn't get a chance to get to know him, I can rest a sure that i will someday meet him in Heaven and know him then.

Canada Day

It was a really hot day, and i was not prepared for the heat, i had worn jeans and brought a sweater with me. I would have taken Ryan's advice that it was warm but Anne-Mari is like me and gets cold easy and she was wearing the same stuff as me so i figured I'd be safe. We walked from the apartment building all the way to the water front (20 or so min walk) by the time we got there i was pretty much heat stroked, and I'm sure it didn't help that i hadn't eaten or drank anything yet that day, so Lee and Geoff went to subway and got something to drink for everyone, b/c i wasn't the only one who was hot. and since i wasn't the only one who was hot, we took a vote and voted we skip the days festivities and go to Geoff's house and swim in the lake. which by the way was SUPER cold. i was freezing. but at the same time kinda nice. in comparison.


Lee and Me, then the couples, Lee, me, Anne-Mari and Ryan. Geoff, Ryan and Lee being silly, we watch the fire works although we didn't get any pictures of them.



Work

So my E.I. ran out a few months ago but Lee had his so i didn't think i needed to get work just yet, I was wrong, Lee's E.I. ran out as well, so i had to get a part time job. and so i went back to the Theater, I got hired back pretty quick so that was really nice. I worked Wednesday and Thursday. I am not used to standing up all day anymore, so my legs are constantly hurting, and the balls of my feet hurt as well. I'm hoping with this brake of not working my body will heal and i wont be sore anymore.




Yesterday after work Lee drove me to visit dad at the army base here in the city, real nice looking place. We ate supper with him then went and got tickets to see the international Tattoo, I've never seen anything so awesome or amazing in my life, show and show or pure talent, Amazing work their people did, and all the practice they must have gone through to get it all right. These next few pictures aren't min i got them off the Tattoo's website, mine will be coming once dad gets home from being in the army himself. But i wanted to remember a bit of what i saw yesterday.



awesome stuff, if anyone still reads this the international tattoo is defiantly something you'd wanna see. :)
