GROAN

I hate to complain but.....this whole week is busy busy busy.  Every single day I have something happening.  And all I really want to do is get my corners sorted and cleaned cuz COOKIE IS COMING!!!!!!  And as my kids will tell you that when COOKIE IS COMING I take advantage of the event to get those little things all done.

Tomorrow, Monday, I have two things on the agenda.  The insurance lady that did Gladys's insurance at the dealership missed me signing in a certain spot.  Well jeez!!  She has texted and phoned me over and over to come in.  I kept telling her I was in Bamfield and COULDN'T.  What about that does the damned woman not get? So I have been purposely dragging my ass...not nice I know but jeez!  Not my fault.  In Kamloops the gal that did the insurance on Tank came to my house each year to do the renewal and signing.  I think I got a tad spoiled!

So I shall go in tomorrow on my way to the denturist...hopefully getting my new teeth.  I am looking forward to that, and a little bit not.  I know that it is going to hurt for the first while.  Oh well, at least I won't look so much like a red neck hillbilly anymore.

And now, I think I have thrombosis in my right leg.  The calf is hurting like hell, for no freaking reason.  Its not like I ran a half marathon or hiked up Mt. Arrowsmith.  Its cramping somewhat too.  I just know that I am going to eat aspirin and hopefully a clot doesn't bust loose and kill me in the night.  If I am dead in the morning can one of you please call the coroner and tell him why I'm a goner?  Thanks.

I have also been spending quality time pouncing and trapping, in all kinds of inventive manner, clouds of fruit flies.  Holy bejeezus they are really really bad this year.  I finally opened an almost dead jar of strawberry jam (one I actually have had since I first moved to Kamloops...that crap lasts forever) and simply waited.  And sure enough a million fruit flies descended into that jar. I sprung over, lid at the ready, and slammed it shut!  Hahahaha!!!  I caught a ton of them!

But then I picked up the drink cans and bottles receptacle to put outside, it was full of empty V8 cans, and five million flew up out of that bin.  Holy Crap!!!  So I put it back down and waited.  And then I leaped around the corner and dropped a towel over the whole thing before they had time to move!  Caught them all!!  Took it outside and far away and released them.

One more....I have a reasonably tallish tin that I use as my garbage bowl.  It is white.  I noticed a million of those suckers on that tin and in it and around it.  So I got a plastic shopping bag,  got it ready, snuck slowly across the floor and pounced and got that bag over the whole thing and dashed out onto the deck.  Hah!!!!  Got a million more.  Now they are trying to get into my homemade bread bag, but it's zip locked.  I guess they are after the yeast.

Anyway now that I have bored you to death, I go.  TTYL

  2. Put some apple cider vinegar in a dish and add a couple drops of dishwashing liquid and mix it up. Cover it with plastic wrap and poke some holes in it. They’ll fly in and can’t get out and drown in the liquid. Works really well.
