Woot
It's almost Thanksgiving, mmm turkey and cranberry sauce. I'm definitely looking forward to a dinner at my mom's this weekend, and maybe we'll try to cook something up at home one of the other nights, depending on how stuffed we are.
In other news, I've got another trip up to Fort McMurray tomorrow. I'm presenting a talk on SAGD at an internal conference. Should be exciting... I'm not the biggest fan of public speaking, but this is what I've done for the last couple years and I know it, I just don't like having to talk in front of crowds.
Last of all, our furnace decided to stop working a couple nights ago. Well, it probably started not working long before that, but we only noticed when it got freezing in the house. The bed was like an icebox! It turns out that not only was the filter disgusting (which I knew, but had been too lazy to fix until today - trips to Home Depot are always fun), but something had overheated and caused a wire to burn and short out, bringing the entire furnace down. I took the afternoon off today, and a furnace repair guy came, and we now have heat! Now we can look forward to at least some parts of the house being above 60oF.
