My feet are killing me tonight! So is my hip. Monte and I took off this morning and crossed the river..(Oooooooo....we crossed to the other side, a big move for us!!!) to go to North Hills shopping centre. And what a sad sad mall that was! OMG!!! Back back way back in the day I used to skip school occasionally and hit that mall. It was way better back then. Half the stores are closed up and in the twelve bay food court, only two places still existed. And the stores, oh Lordy!
One of them was full of what looked like really tacky home made clothes, you know the kind....a frill around the bottom of the skirt, frilly lace edging everything.... Another store was full to the rafters with memorabilia, native stuff, lamps that went out of style twenty years ago, cheap chinese made touristy stuff. They did have an Ardene's. We were able to get the little girl on our hamper list some fun things and a gift card. We got out of there.
We went up to Costco and I picked up the stuff for the little boy on our list. The place was almost empty! Creepy!!! From there we went to Best Buy.
After reading Shannon's comments about her car and the hell she is going through, I feel kind of bad about my dinted fridge story. Right from the get go Best Buy has been so accommodating. They have responded quickly and made the decision to replace my fridge next Tuesday! But let me tell ya....today was an ordeal and a half.
When I arrived at the counter they started the process. It was not easy...It took four of them over an hour to figure out how to do it!! OVER AN HOUR!! They finally got me a chair to sit on! But in the end, I signed things and a new fridge is winging its way to me. And the guys that installed the old fridge are doing the delivery again. And the movers phoned me today to tell me that after the fridge is installed, they will mud, sand and paint my doorway! So I foresee a good end to all of this.
This will be the fourth time in a year and a half I have emptied and restocked a fridge. Maui, Langford and twice here. Hopefully this will be it!!
Now I am sitting back in my purple room chair. The poor tree is still not decorated. The kitchen is clean though! And I didn't hear from April today which means she must have been well enough to go on their excursion to the pyramids. They only get two one hour times to use the wifi for free. So I probably won't hear from her until tomorrow. I hope she hasn't acquired a desperate turlett story...like Spod, Brian and I have. Poor kid. It would kill her!
Tomorrow is more shopping and Monte is taking Molly to the vet. She has developed tons of weird bumps on her back. When you pull the sticky fur off the bump (it doesn't hurt and it comes off easy) there is a gaping wound underneath. Ewwww!!!! And they are really really itchy. If they say its an allergy I shall go down and smack the vet myself. She only eats one type of dog food and has done so forever. Theres nowhere to go with the allergy theory. TTYL
