I was going to start off here about other things when there was a knock at the door. It was Harry from next door. He wanted to talk to Monte, who, of course, is sleeping. I asked what he needed and what he needed was help with Amazon and his order! I told him that I was quite cognizant when it comes to everything Amazon. Oh, he says. We are the same age so I didn't know for sure if you had a computer. Ahem!!!! Are you kidding? So for the next few minutes I computer shamed him!!!
I then went on to solve his problem, and I tell ya I could not look worse than I do at the moment. I might even be smelly. My pj shorts are fuzzy and red plaid. My slippers look like Santa's reindeer ran over them. No bra, but my teeth were in at least!!!! And my hair at the back looks like I was whacked with a two by four. Oh well.
After solving his problem, the biggest one being no computer or printer (he had his son order it) it was clear he was super reluctant to get one. I told him I would be willing to teach him how to use it. After all I very successfully taught Spod how to use one with nary a fight!
After all that we got talking about the sale of Gladys and I mentioned that we missed it most for trips to the dump. He immediately offered to make dump runs with his truck or even his trailer should we like. He said he was bored and would love to make trips to the dump for us!!! He honestly is the kindest nicest neighbour. Mr. Howdoyoudoodally.
I have been doing a deep dive into type 2 diabetes. So interesting. As I mentioned before it puzzles me that after spending a lifetime of lowcarbing except when holidaying or not at home, and in the last decade losing my appetite, how did I become diabetic...and fat! And I have found out that they are just discovering that more and more it is genetic and it is a syndrome that involves other things. There are lots of people that cause themselves that particular grief but there are a lot of us that haven't. I know that both Grampa Graham had type two and my mom. My brother has it. My cousin was a type one diabetic. I do believe I had help genetically developing this annoying illness. It's a full time job keeping that blood sugar at five!!!
Skinny Puppy. Some of you out there will know this band. Some of us know them very very well! They are a hard hitting rock band, not to everyone's taste. I got introduced to them through Kevin, many many years ago. He is a hard core fan. And they are coming to Vancouver!!!! Unheard of!!!!! They are an old band, I didn't think they were even together anymore. But near the end of Nov. they will be doing two nights at the Commodore.
Kevin is trying to figure out how to go. So I have offered to go to Penticton and babysit. If it snows I can take the bus. After that white knuckle terrifying drive from Kamloops to Cache Creek in Tank I now have PTSD driving on snowy roads. I would so love to spend time with the kids. They are all coming over here the end of August and Tandy and Kevin are going to take off for a couple of nights so I am so looking forward to time with the kids. We will take them swimming and a trip to Coombs and dinner out, sushi. I can't wait!!!! I don't get to play gramma very often.
Well thats it folks. I think it is time to leave this house, if for no other reason than hoping something interesting happens that I can amuse you kind folks with. Sigh. TTYL
