Monday was Dawn's Birthday so we celebrated with a steak supper and red wine at her apartment.
For some reason my internet banking was down most of the morning. Hope they haven't been hacked like Booking.com was supposedly..
Don came down to watch the Oilers gas yet another game, even though they played reasonably better, so they don't finish first in the division. This is a time for bearing down to win but they don't have a good enough system. They are being outcoached by almost everyone.
Tuesday morning, I received a call from the Manager, Roch, asking me if I would volunteer for Sunday or Monday to work a casino to benefit the buildings' social fund. I agreed to be the "banker" Monday afternoon until early Tuesday morning.
And a quid-pro-quo, I asked if he had made a decision about our outside parking stalls... The fellow in stall # 2 passed away, and Marie wanted to move down 1 from #3. Since she looks after my car for me when I am gone, I wanted to move with her down 1 from #4... And the next parker, Tomi, wanted to move from #5 to #4, replacing me... then Dawn would move down into #5 to be closer... This was all agreed amongst us without any fighting and Roch finally agreed... Within 2 hours we had all moved spots and everyone is happy.
I booked a hotel near the airport in Calgary for Friday night so I would not have to fight weekend traffic.
And dear Dawn loves baking, and needed to use us some apples, so she made me another apple crisp from Mom's recipe!! That was warming, because the snow had begun anew outside...
Wednesday morning, I had to take the LRT to the Library for 4 James Patterson books in the "Private" series. Don kindly gave me an ARC card with some money on it to go downtown. I did not use the Gio because of the cold, wind, and snow.
Wednesday night, I must have forgotten to take my Quetiapine pill to sleep. Once I realized that, I had already tossed and turned 1.5 hours. I did not get to sleep until after 3am, when I took the picture below.
Today, I have been organizing my rolling laptop backpack for my trip tomorrow to Calgary (3 hour drive), then Saturday to Whitecourt (4.5 hour drive) followed by a return to Edmonton (another 2+ hour drive). I hope this old body can take all that punishment. It is important to me to make both funerals if I can.
Dawn had passed me another large steak because she expected to be away for a few days, but that fell through, so the steak is now marinating for supper here for us both.
I hope you enjoy the picture. That was the day’s excitement.
