Three and a half weeks of food

Ok I am now officially in charge of running a B&B for three and a half weeks.

Jamie's mom took ill in Singapore and he left on a flight this afternoon to go take care of her. She is still in hospital but she will be fine.

Obviously all that really matters is Jamie's Mom but the ripple effect is that the next three and a half weeks I will be running the B&B on top of doing my Real Estate job and September is always our busiest month of the year for the B&B. It is a pretty busy month for Real Estate too.

You can't get accommodation anywhere in Toronto in September because of things like the Toronto International Film Festival and Jamie likes to capitalize on it, so every September we give up our own bedroom, rent that out as well... and we sleep in the office.

So here I sit...in my office...where I will remain...because there are three guests in my bedroom right now.

If only that were as fun as it sounds :-)

So tomorrow I will be up at 6:00AM making stacked pancakes layered with fruits and almond slices and syrup...sounds yummy doesn't it? Only problem is I can't eat it.

That is the way it is going to be for the next three and half weeks...delicious food (well at least I hope it is delicious) right in front of me every morning and I can't have it.

Can you say "Challenge"?

Be healthy,

Alan
