My First Day Of School

Well the day has really just begun but It'll be a long one. It"s really like the first day of school. I get to ride the bus for the first time, see how long it takes to get to my clinic, I get to meet all kinds of new friends, I get to wear my new uniform(pic to come). The only thing I don't get to do it bring a lunch. It will be provided for me.
Today is mostly a day of getting familiar with the entire process. Getting to my venue, going through security check(no liquids allowed), getting to know the clinic and my fellow Medical Team colleagues.
I am excited, interested and a little nervous to begin my first day.

I am in for a long one till 10 then start my first shift in the morning at 7 am. So I will let you know how its gone tomorrow afternoon.

Here we go!!!!!

Made it to Whistler Squared!

I'm Heeere!

What a trip. It was actually a great trip. Many places I'd like to go back to for a longer than a 2 minute stay. Osoyoos being one of them. Driving down Regal Ridge intot he townsite was pretty cool. Now I know why many people flock there in the summer time. And not just for the vinyards and their fruits.

I actually made great time and had great weather most of the way to Vancouver ending up at my friends Kim and Laura. To be greated with hugs and puppy kisses form Brinkley and the dreamiest sleep under their silk duvet.

Its always great when you get to stop and be with old friends, knowing I can just be. And playing with Brinkley just gave me the extra motivation to forget about my sore shoulders and hit the raod to go see my own pup, who I haven't seen in months! Whistler here I come!

And it was awesome to get here. The highway up is to say the least...FAST! Well maybe not the highway but the drivers! I'm so glad to just be here and be able to park the car. I can now walk most places or jump on the bus for free right outside Jim's house, very convenient.

There are 135 new buses in town for the events some of them brand new hydrogen buses.

We went for a walk yesterday, as it was warm and not raining to see the medals plaza. Ya a little more work to be done there before its ready!

Lots of people around right now, but minimal compared to what it'll be like in a week or so.

Today is a day of rest for me, or for play with Whislter.

Speaking or which he's telling me...IT"S TIME! For you know... W A L K

Tomorrow I get to pick up my uniform, which are really very nice, and as Kimmy put it, very slimming.

Here's to a day of rest!
