I remember the days when elections were riveting conversation argument makers. We would all sit around the kitchen table, coffee in hand, cigarettes burning, out shouting each other, passionately trying to be heard. At the end of the evening we would all agree to disagree and start over the next time we were all together around that table.
That just doesn't seem to happen anymore. I see on facebook its beginning to ramp up a little, Evil Harper, Baby Trudeau, Hopeless Mulcair, Pointless May. There simply is no one to passionately stand behind in this election. Kind of sad. And now I find at the ripe old age of 62, especially provincially, I just don't give a crap. I feel bad for my kids if the province tanks again, but it won't effect me even remotely. I will still vote but it's pretty pointless for me.
Today is Wed....garbage day. Last night, full of snotty attitude, I rolled the garbage can down to the curb, a full six hours before I was 'allowed' to. I will show them, I was thinking. Go ahead, give me a frigging ticket. If you are going to come a half hour before the posted time, then I am putting my can out the night before.
This morning, around 6:45 I started to listen for the garbage truck, just waiting for it to go by too early again. No sound. Nothing. And about quarter past seven it dawned on me we had a holiday. Garbage day is tomorrow. Jeez!!!! Well I am leaving it out there til tomorrow!
Last night Emmy, Marisa, Peter and Monte were here. Spaghetti dinner and convo. Can't get any better. Living in this town is amazing. I love to cook and here there are people I can feed. Jo popped in around six thirty on her way to the hospital (work) for a quick bite and a wee visit. I love it. If I can't have all my kids here I will happily take my sister's and their awesome friends!!
So today is more clear out day. Down to that storage room and empty more boxes and fill more garbage bags. Soon I will be down to just a few cupboards of excess stuff. You hear about those old grammas that start throwing things out, much to the family's chagrin...well thats definitely going to be me!
So I am going to push off. Lots to do today. TTYL
