I have a feeling I had best get this post done. I do not feel well and getting worse as the day goes by. My head hurts, my eyes are burning, hacking and coughing and I am hot. Whine! I found out there is a flu going around Vancouver right now and I was at very close quarters with about three hundred Vancouverites the other night. Dang it!!! One of our boys wasn't feeling too well either.
At four thirty Tuesday afternoon Monte, Graham, Anton and Eithne came by April's and picked me up. We then picked up April at her work and over the bridge to Emily's and picked her up. The two boys had to sit on the floor and we just hoped for the best. This is what we used to do back in the sixties in old VW buses...but smoking the good stuff at the same time. The trip downtown was a hoot! Turns out Emily and Graham went to school here in Kamloops together.
For those that are not in the know....there are two restaurants downtown and one in Whistler called The Warehouse and one is called the Factory. Their menu is extensive, their food is delicious and every dish is 4.95. Pirogies, hamburgers, fries, enchiladas, shepherd's pie, macaroni, spaghetti, salads, ribs and on and on. Portions are a good size. We went to the Factory and had a delicious dinner. We then went to the concert which was even better than we hoped. Love that band!!! Thank you Emily!!!!
Afterwards Monte dropped Em and I off at her awesome little apartment before driving the others all home. Em and I sat up into the wee hours visiting...good visiting.
The next day the boys picked me up and we went somewhere in Vancouver to another super cheap place for breakfast called Bond or Bonds. Their breakfast....pan fries, a meat, two eggs any way and toast for 4.95 and endless coffee. Now, I wouldn't say this if any of those kids were reading this blog, they aren't, but....I would rather pay an extra five bucks and get a smaller, but better made breakfast with better coffee. Oh, there was nothing wrong the breakfast, just not quite right. I am picky about breakfasts. But it was fast and cheap and something they could afford. After a stop at Red Cat, a vinyl store, we headed home. We left Van around two thirty and drove into our driveway at six thirty. Made good time through the Coq.
You know, its dribbling snow outside. Barely a skiff on the ground. And its like twenty below. Yet, those old dudes in the cul de sac across from me are all out shovelling their driveways. THERE'S NOTHING TO SHOVEL!!!! They are like that in the summer only with the lawn mowers. I hope they freeze their knackers off!
Well I am going to go back to bed with a hot tea. Oh, one more thing. NO MOLLY!!!! She is at Aryn's and the little cow has peed only twice on Aryn's floor. Jeez, she pees twice an hour on mine. Its soooooo nice having a break from her. Apparently Bradley took her to work with him (he paints) and when Aryn went there she said it was so funny to see him busy with this little dog in a foofoo winter jacket under his arm! She will be loving it! TTYL
