I don’t know how this is going to work.  There are so many things that are not working at the moment.

Firstly, I have a crack in my screen.  Consequently one third of the screen has coloured lines and black blocks on it…making it seriously difficult to see parts of the screen.

Secondly, when I changed to the newest operating system, I lost ‘bean’, my go to, only go to actually, word processor.  I have no place now to write letters, lists and such.  You wouldn’t believe what I stole from my files, deleted off this page and am now using it to write my next blog post.

Thirdly, why am I writing my blog post here and not on blogspot like usual?  BECAUSE F##KING TELUS HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!  I came home from the trip, settled in, switched on my tv and nope!!!Not working.  And not only that, neither is my internet.  Grrrrrrr!!!!!  (quadruple shovel list).  So I phoned telus.  And I was on hold for one and a half hours.  NINETY minutes!  I had no choice if I wanted things fixed.  But when I saw it hit an hour and a half I hung up.  And phoned Shaw.  They answered on first ring.  I ordered everything up, they come on Friday and install.  Telus can go eff themselves.  And I am NOT paying them one dime to pay out the contract.  They broke that contract repeatedly so I am not paying.  And I am not telling them.  They will have to phone me eventually when they get no money.  Ha!

Its nice to be home again.  I missed my bed and Wrangler.  I haven’t picked him up yet…I get him back tomorrow.  I love going and getting him.  He is always sooooo happy to see me.  Makes me feel wanted, said like a needy person!

  The house is spotless….actually not quite.  Alice came while I was gone.  Then after she left Kathy was here to let the plumbers in to replace the hot water tank.  She sat down at the piano to play and noticed a whole lot of dust all over the piano.  I pay Alice 65 bucks to clean and she hardly ever takes more than an hour.  Originally it was going to be three hours.  So instead of cutting the money back I cut the weekly cleaning to every two weeks.  But come on!  For sixty five bucks she could at least dust the piano.  I never noticed.  Typical.  sigh

So I will be texting her before Wednesday when she comes to tell her the piano needs a thorough dusting.  It will take a while.  I have a lot of stuff on that piano.  She won’t be happy so I think I will trot up to Kathy’s and use her internet for an hour or two while Alice is here.  I don’t want to get yelled at.  There, I just texted her.  I will see if she answers.

Well I have read a complete book since last night.  Its going to be a pretty quiet week.  Reminds me of when Monte and I moved up here from Langford.  We spent some weeks in a empty house before our stuff got moved up.  All we had was a chair for me to sleep in and a mattress on the floor in the other bedroom for Monte.  And a coffee pot in the kitchen.  That was it.  We went out every night to eat.  He and I both never ate through the day unless it was leftovers brought home the night before. We didn’t have a tv but we did have internet.  I sat in my chair and read hundreds of books.  It was awesome.  Totally quiet.  Monte would sleep late then go out til late.  I read read read.  This now is totally reminding me of that.

April and Myles are coming up this weekend!!!  I am so happy.  I miss all my kids.  And I am really hoping Aryn can make it up sometime soon.  So each day this week I have a project to get ready.  Alice keeps the house super clean, but I will need to stock the fridge, clean the bunk bed room, clean my tan purple room, the Steam Punk room is all ready for them already.  And I will make a little list of the heavy things I need help with moving so I can get that done while they are here.  

Well thats it for now.  I shall pop up to Kathy’s tomorrow and post this.  Have a good night!  TTYL
