SADLY NO VANCOUVER

 Monte has been sick over the last week.  I am pretty sure it isn't covid but I just can't take any chances with April and Myles's health.  He gets the most awful headaches and is extremely fatigued.  So no visiting anybody.  I am sad but I don't want Monte to feel bad.

Halloween was its usual silly self.  So many awful fireworks.  It's so hard on the dogs around.  There weren't many families and children out.  I turned out all the lights and hid out.  I really dislike halloween. No let me reword that.  I really effing hate halloween, always have.  (big time shovel list). I can't think of one redeeming thing about it and I had four kids.  Poor kids.  They survived.

I bought a rolling clothes rack.  I plan to put it right beside the washer and dryer so I can hang all my shirts etc...  It arrived from Amazon right on time.

Well shit!!!!!!!  It is in a hundred unmarked pieces and the instructions are like...put A in B and tighten with included (not) Allan wrench, stand the pieces up and put the c over top of d...none of them marked.  Grrrrr.  Tomorrow morning Pat is coming over to organize all the cans out there (he takes them) and he has offered to organize our mountains of recycling (Toonykoot we need you!!!). I remember from Monte's clean out, he loves to organize recycling.  I will pay him.  And I am going to ask him if he feels like building the stupid rack.  I will pay him to do that too.  Monte and I tried tonight and we both ran screaming from it!  If he can't or doesn't want to, I am boxing it up and sending it back with a bad review.

So Monte and I have come to the conclusion that we will be alone this Christmas.  A certain person is moving in soon and he may be here for Xmas.  Turkey time!!!!!!!  We are going to buy our fave booze and fave hors d'ourves and I am going to buy everything, except the gravy and stuffing, already made and just need heating.  No work this year.  Maybe I will get paper dishes too!  I will be on a severe budget this xmas so I think there will be no presents except for thoughtful littler ones.

Speaking of budget, I now can include a broken washer and dryer, well actually dryer but its stacked so both go.  It takes over 100 minutes to get the clothes dry enough to put away.  My over the stove microwave is busted.  We are using Monte's tiny inexpensive old old old one.  It barely pops corn. I have to make a giant instalment payment to rev can. It never ends dammit!!!!

Well enough with the complaining.  I am still more happy than sad.  Covid just suits me.  I wake up whenever in the morning and go.....'ahhhhh...nothing scheduled today.....'.  Then I wander out to the living room in a terrible outfit I have been wearing night and day for a week now and it just doesn't matter cuz absolutely not one person will be dropping in.  I sit in my chair and watch crap tv, Bitch Judy, Scrapping 90 day Fiance Marryers, Pimple popping doctors, Plastic surgery mistakes, Really bad Tattoo Correctors, endless cooking competitions etc.....Then we eat when we want to....mostly baloney sammiches or TV dinners.  What more wonderfulness can life offer I ask!  Oh and left over Halloween candy (the only good thing about Halloween) that we can dig into now that no stray little kid had the audacity to come to a darkened blacked out house.

Stay safe and noodle!!  TTYL
