Yesterday was a beautiful 24C but the humidity was not transferring into the suite so I spent all day distilling water for the humidifier...
In the evening I started checking out cheaper flights to Colombia for the winter.
I spoke to my friend David about trying to lose weight and he suggested cutting off all food intake at least 3 hours before bedtime... It appears to be helping me off the 205 plateau I have been stuck on.
This morning I decided to take advantage of the cheap flights I did find, but what a schemozzle dealing with Avianca's website!!! First, it wouldn't let me book the flights, then it crazily balked at letting me pay...!!! I had to phone and get a link from them which allowed me to pay only have the idiots at CIBC refuse the payment, even though I did the confirmation code things.... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
So, another hour on the phone with CIBC to get the charges pre-approved, then another 2 hours dropping calls with Avianca to actually re-book the flights, and accept the payment, only to have a problem with the site to fully confirm the booking and payment to allow me to choose my seating, etc....
I am still waiting for the email from Avianca... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I was intending to go to the Legislature at 1pm to mingle with the Alberta Separatists and learn more, but never got there because of the flight issues. Grrrrr
I did manage to go check out friend Braden Gates, the fiddler, at a block party on Ada Boulevard which turned out to be some kind of fundraiser, so I didn't stay.
Since my GIS has been cut off, my monthly funds are low so I have an appointment Monday at the bank to move some coin around... Grrrrrr
So, tentatively, I leave here early morning December 1 to Toronto-Bogota-Cali, and return Feb 24th, 2027. Once all is confirmed, I will let family know the exact details....
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement. Grrrrrrr
