I think I mentioned this before. But….if you had asked me six months ago what my favourite movie, tv show, or even my daily food choices were, the answer would be entirely different compared to today. I had no idea that those choices were so entwined with Bill's wants and likes. I would have sworn that NCIS was a favourite show. My favourite movie would have been a war movie like Black Hawk Down. And I definitely loved Lipton's chicken noodle soup (old man soup).
Today? Not so much. I haven't watched NCIS since Bill died. And while I cruise through Netflix choices, the last thing that I pick is a war movie. And I actually don't ever want to eat Lipton soup again.
So it begs the question…how much of yourself becomes someone else when you are together forever? And how much did he change for my tastes and choices? It doesn't matter a whit but its interesting breaking old habits and finding out what I, all by myself, really like. I find this an amazing discovery and here I thought I knew EVERYTHING!!!!
I have not watched one second of tv since I got up here. We won't have tv at the house til we move and I don't think they have the stations here at Kathy's that I regularly watch. But I am not missing it much. Although I know that my must see shows are being recorded at home.
What I have done is read five books in the past couple of weeks. I mentioned before that Jan gave me that awesome website 'Readcheaply.com' I buy every book that catches my attention so I have a long build up of books to be read on here. I am really enjoying it.
The most amazing and wonderful thing happened today….and a very sad one. But this post is getting loooong so I shall put a comma in it here (as my mom would have said) and I shall tell you about it in tomorrow's post! TTYL

ANOTHER ONE SOLD (I THINK)
The house in Victoria is not selling…so far. But it looks like the one in Port Alberni is sold. At least I have filled out all the documents and they are in the hands of a notary in Port. The guy has put in a tiny deposit. The purchaser is the neighbour. He has a beautiful old house, well maintained, and beautiful grounds. He told me, carefully, because he knew it was my kid living there, that he wants control of who lives next door to him. I don't think Monte was too much of a problem but he did have a band of somewhat questionable merrymen smoking out on the back deck pretty often. But you know the old cliche….don't count your chickens etc….If it looks like he is hesitating I am going to stage a massive swinging bbq right on Monte's deck and invite every hobo I can find!
I have gone ahead with the insurance claim. The only punitive side of that is I lose my discount of ten per cent on my premium. I can handle that a whole lot better than four thousand dollars to fix the hole.
Its shocking how much money just flies out the window. I was awake in the night thinking about it. 200 for the plumber. 500 for the deductible. 200 for the windshield. 350 for Parker (ashes). 185 to detail the interior of the truck. 580 for brakes for the truck. And it isn't over. I have to go to Vancouver. I can't put it off any longer. I have about four really important appointments, spread over several days. So that means hotel and probably kennelling for Molly, AFTER she gets her shots updated. Then its a 100 buck ferry trip home to Langford. I think I need a better cash flow!!
I don't know what I was thinking, but I only brought three shirts. I brought lots of pants, tights and shorts and lots of unmentionables. But no shirts. I will have to go down to the fat lady store and have another look. But after the humiliating experience I had buying a bathing suit, I am not too anxious to show my face there again.
The lady that worked there helped me pick out a suitable bathing suit. Actually, there was only one. I don't wear those tanktini fandangley type two piecers.I only wear one piece suits, and there was only one one piecer there. So it has these iron clad built in rubber bra parts, ruching (sp?) down the sides and a little flap of material across the bottom….I think to hide the giant roll of fat that hangs down on us heftier ladies.
So the sales person asks my bra size, I tell her, so she picks out exactly the right size suit for me. Its all black on black. Off I go and I put it on. Well CRAP!! Even I started laughing. It was totally ridiculous!!! The rubber foam upper part was basically empty. I didn't even fill an inch of it. The stomach was tight but the bottom of the suit hung down halfway to my knees. I should have taken a picture! So imagine this stand up by itself top that my body wasn't even touching except for the straps, my big belly pushing out the centre and the crotch and little skirt hanging down practically to my knees. Hahaha!!! When the lady saw it even she couldn't keep from laughing.
So back to the drawing board. Needless to say I ended up having to get a two piece tank toppy type, and the only one they had was a size too small. And that meant that the minute I got into the hot tub the top rolls up to my armpits and my very large white stomach is exposed. I think fat broads should just stay out of the water.
Well its a lovely day here. Sunny as all hell, blindingly so. Its supposed to go up to 19 today, which is pretty warm! Makes me happy. Gotta run…the contractor is on his way to my house. He said it would take all day today. TTYL

NOBODY WANTS MY HOUSE
My house is never going to sell. There are not enough bedrooms upstairs and there is no kitchen downstairs. There has been a number of showings and two open houses. Apparently Dane said that the speedway was in full blast again, which instantly turns people away. I need that stupid house to SELL. NOW. Oh well if it doesn't I will just have to go back down there and wait it out. I shall have to suspend plans for Maui and just stay there til eventually it sells. Its a lovely place to get stuck in!
We had a lovely weekend! This house of my sister's is amazing and I am totally enjoying it. I have set up shop here in the best seat in the house and I look out over the city and beyond. Fantastic view, comfy chair (that challenges me on occasion) good coffee, easy plug ins for my technology, sweet sweet Emma dog at my feet…what more could one want I ask?
On Sunday Myles, April and I spent the whole day just lazing around and eating leftovers from the night before. Craig, Jo and Ainsley popped in for a while and dinner before the hockey game they were attending. We ordered Chinese food and had a great time. The next day we sat around, hot tubbed, ate Chinese food, April stole a poster sized paper from Kathy's office and sat at the table and drew the most amazing picture, I read almost an entire book about elephants (they are freakishly interesting..we humans could learn a thing or two from them).
The kids left around five and Monte and I went down to Señor Froggies for a seriously delicious Mexican dinner. Mmmmm…..
And that is it. Sorry this is so boring. Oh, one thing that happened…..the truck absolutely reeks like sour milk. No matter what we do, febreezing etc. will not get rid of that odour. So I arranged for an expensive detailing on next Thursday (about 300 bucks) to destink the cab. And today the truck goes in for a brake job, and I hate to think how much thats going to be, so Monte and I cleaned out the truck completely. And guess what Monte found?
Back last July Bill took a sick Molly to the vet in Vancouver. I didn't go. The vet did his thing with her and gave Bill some cans of medical dog food. (shovel list..stupid) And yesterday when Monte opened the console compartment, there it was. An open can, half empty and absolutely incredibly stinking rotten. It was enough to make a maggot gag. So out it went, febreezed the console…problem solved. I am phoning the detail place and cancelling. That saved me a bunch!
The sun is shining, the magpies are flying and its time to take the truck in. Then its off to Costco!!! Good day to be had! TTYL

SOME THINGS I FORGOT
I forgot how the wind blows here. It doesn't blow all the time but when it does its crazy. It makes you wonder how the trees stay standing.
I forgot how many woodpeckers there are in the Kamloops area. My mom occasionally would shoot them out the back of our log house back in the day. Right now there is one that likes to sharpen its beak on the metal air vents in the roof. Its the most thunderous loud noise, usually just at day break.
I forgot how super easy it is to get around. There is NO traffic. You can pretty much get anywhere in Kamloops in ten to fifteen minutes max.
I forgot how many fat people there are here. I feel right at home. I was the fattest person in North Vancouver but here I am just right. I remember reading an article not too long ago about how people here are heavier because they have to use cars and do very little mandatory walking.
And I forgot just how great it is to be in a place that just feels like home. This is where I spent my teen years and this is where my family has predominantly been all the years since. I lived here for many years with my older two children. It just feels right.
April and Myles arrived yesterday. We decided to go buy bathing suits so we could partake in my sister's awesome new hot tub. Some day I will post about that particular fat lady store shopping experience. Jeez!
Thank goodness we had Myles with us. He has hot tub experience. So soon we were immersed in 104 degree bubbling water with party lights twinkling. Soooo awesome. What fun! Confirms to me that I need to put one in my house next year when I get settled.
Today we are going to Harold's for breakfast. They make the most amazing delicious breakfasts. Then we are heading up to Aberdeen Mall. This town has incredible shopping and restaurants. Both North Van and Langford were seriously devoid of restaurants and shopping. Here…you can see ten restaurants from anywhere you stand and every store conceivable. We are going up to Costco at some point to get steaks for dinner. They have the bbq set up and ready here at Kathy's.
And everywhere I go I shall be taking two little doggies with me. Molly and Emma, Kathy and Kerry's (I'm not sure…sheltie? she looks like a miniature collie) little awesome dog just ride around in the car. I find little grassy spots here and there to stop and let them do their thing. Today I will find somewhere to run them.
I got the final estimate for the water damage. In two parts. The first being the emergency call that night. I have to pay that either within the claim or, if I am not going through with the claim, directly to them out of my pocket. That part was a thousand dollars.
The reparation part was three thousand dollars! Five hundred of that was dust barrier. Ridiculous!!! I now need to hear what the punitive measures will be if I go ahead with the claim. Then I do the math and make a decision. Right now I just don't have the four thousand. I will probably pay the boys the thousand, not make the claim and just leave it for now. I don't use that room anyway. And I know I can hire someone to replace and paint that bit of gyprock a whole lot cheaper than three thousand.
Now its time to dress, kick some kids out of bed and get this day going. TTYL

MUCH BETTER
Well I am feeling much better today. Dear old Parker…even though I miss him I sure don't miss the worry, smell and endless dog hair. Its going to take a while to get used to not always having him lodged in the back of my head.
I got a report from Dane on the sale of the house down yonder. I asked him to lower the price to 525,000, which he did. Hopefully that will pick up the pace of views. It will sell, just a matter of when. The sooner the better. I think I am going to phone Beakins and arrange for a move date for the end of April. Apparently there is no racing scheduled this week end at the race track so he is going to have another open house.
The day after we arrived a box arrived on our doorstep. It was a costco sized snack box of these popcorny bags. I hate them. I thought Monte had somehow bought it and set it there when he found the front door locked and then forgot it. But I just left it there just in case. And it stayed there til today when I finally picked it up and took it into his room, woke him up and asked if it was his. Nope. What the heck?
So I opened it, expecting to find the box full of little bags of popped stuff. And It wasn't. Three weeks ago I found a website called Joss&Main. They have the most awesome stuff from furniture to bedding to dishes. The prices are amazing and they ship inexpensively to Canada. I found some bedskirts I have been looking for and ordered them to be delivered here. And thats what was in the box! I was impressed with their 'recycling'! When I order stuff from Amazon they always use huge boxes, tons of filler and Styrofoam. And the bed skirts are awesome, just no beds to put them on yet!!!
Its now five in the aft on Thursday. I am heading down to Kathy's for pizza! and hockey. I just might have a snooze. I am so tired. Thats what shopping does to me. Catch ya later. TTYL

SAD
Up then down then up then down again. Its been an emotional roller coaster.
I was really up when I saw my house and watched Arnie paint my purple room. Then I was down when the paint water flooded the downstairs due to a broken drain pipe. Then I was up when Aryn and I tried a whole bunch of paint samples on the wall, picking just the right one and enjoying the awesome sunshine and blue skies. Then down cuz of our Parker.
He was on the deck and clearly he couldn't stop peeing. I knew there would be a clear sign when his time came and that was it. I phone a vet and made an appointment for two o'clock. Monte and I took him and it was awful. His trusting dear old face looked at us as he was led away. It felt like he knew and he was very calm. There was absolutely no way I could stay with him. Its too soon after going through the same thing with Bill. It was bad enough just letting him go. He went with her happily.
Now I can't seem to pull it together. Too many things at once maybe. I am going to get a good night's sleep tonight and get geared up to deal with insurance peeps tomorrow. The plumber is coming at ten. So lots to distract. I will have a happier report tomorrow night. TTYL

EXCITING TIMES!! HAPPY HAPPY!!
Well its been a crazy exhausting exciting couple of days. The trip up was a white knuckler. It snowed and slushed and blew. My poor little car wasn't happy. But we made it! I got my keys from Kathy's place and went straight up to the house. I couldn't wait to see it!
And….it was different than what was in my head. It was smaller (which suits me just fine) and the wall paint was worse! Half the upstairs is pukey gold and the other half is either poop brown or burgandy (shovel list). I unloaded tables, chairs, radio, dogs etc…and walked and walked around the whole place. The downstairs is huge and weird. Lots of rooms..family room (big) rec room, hobby room (huge with lots and lots of storage…my new 'garage'), windowless bedroom, freezer room etc.. there is also big beautiful double garage.
Aryn arrived around ten and set to work painting my purple room. I sat in a chair and we visited whilst she painted. And..she got the whole room done beautifully, two coats and all. It looks spectacular.
Jocelyn and Ainsley came up and we visited and when Craig came I gave him the tour and Lo and Behold!! the basement was flooded and the ceiling was caving in and there was painty water everywhere. At first we kind of panicked, trying to figure out how to clean up the water with nothing and then there is that moment…you just know, its going to be alright because this just became an insurance claim and THEY can do all the work!
So Aryn and I got on the laptops and found the info we needed and got hold of the right peeps and before you could say Bob's your uncle two guys and tools and fans and great attitudes showed up. They ripped out all the necessary gyprock and ceiling stuff, set up six big fans, mopped and cleaned and finally around 9 they went along their way. I have just called a plumber (its ten Tue. morning right now) and they will be here tomorrow morning at ten. And the insurance contractors will be back on Thursday to make it all right again. Just a little blip and all will be well. My deductible isn't too horrible either.
Now I am sitting at one of the folding tables in beautiful sunshine and clear skies. I am in my kitchen. I will take a picture of what I am looking at and post it down below.
Last night both Aryn and I were so painfully hungry by the time the guys left. It was awful. The second they left we hopped into our cars and dashed down to Original Joe's (which is most conveniently located right at the bottom the hill here) and we ate and we ate till we felt awful. Creamed broccoli and cheese soup, humus and pita, calamari, chopped salad. Sooooo full. Had a good night at Kathy's. Monte arrived late and slept there too. Now he is getting us breakfast and febreeze for the stinkiest truck ever (someone spilled milk in there a few months ago…bad news that) and Aryn is picking up little cans of sample grey paint. I am going to choose one to use everywhere in my house. yipppeee!!! So excited!!!
When the place gets cleaned up I will take pics and post them here. Right now I am going to go do some mugs and make coffee and clean the gyprock off the floor and walls that the men dropped while taking out all the old stuff. TTYL
