I really am jealous, envious, green...all the things Harlequin romances taught us not to be. I just got off the phone with Cookie. She is working her way back from Merritt to Surrey. She is in Princeton now, stopped completely, waiting to inch forward to get to the highway to the lower mainland. All the other routes are closed.
I asked her why she didn't just stay in Merritt with her family there until roads opened again. She said she had to get home. It's two of her grandson's birthdays and she is making the cake for the party. Then she is off camping with one of her kids and rellies out to Chilliwack. I think it was Chilliwack. By the time she got to that part I was turning green with jealousy and not really hearing right.
I see Kathy sent a couple of pictures of Kamloops, and how it has cleared up enough for her to go outside. And I would bet my last dollar she has her grandkids and will be doing outdoor fun stuff with them. She so often is doing that.
Anne is off to Cranbrook to see her family. They have a big house and two teenage grandchildren and a backyard pool. She has a lot of fun down there.
Sigh. I def have gone wrong somewhere. Mind you I didn't know covid was going to happen. I am pretty happy with my own company, thank goodness, but I do not have one friend in this town. Well, I do have a couple but they aren't exactly the 'go to the local coffee shop and have coffee' types. And Monte has made a whack of friends and just simply isn't home anymore. Which is super good for him. He is just so happy.
So I am sitting here, taking a moment, to royally feel sorry for myself. But I can't totally enjoy the feeling. In the back of my head I know that feeling sorry for oneself is BAD! So I think I will give myself a shake, knock it off and......do laundry. Clean clothes means choices of what to wear and that makes me happy!
Monte is back on the Paleo train. This is good. No more going out. Eating totally healthy is the only option and when he makes his mind up, he truly makes his mind up. He will totally stick to it. I just sincerely hope his meds will let him lose weight. I worry about his heart and his poor knees.
Well we finally got the deck done. We couldn't finish the power washing because of water restrictions (I don't know why, there is freaking water everywhere). It looks so good out there. Big. It is the biggest deck!!
I think I am going to sign off here. I am just having a down day today I think. Normally sitting in my own company for months and months on end would not get to me, but right now it is. I think I will go to the museum. It's a fantastic museum and I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Better than sitting here moping, that's for sure. Take care folks, stay safe and TTYL
