Thursday March 10, 2022
The habits die hard, especially when prodded by the bladder, i.e. getting up at 4am... Then I did only the rudimentaries on the laptop before snuggling to the electric blanket on the settee in the living room until everyone except Danai was up and gone.
I went through all my mail collected by Jill, all useless financial stuff except for the T5's, etc that I need to take to Calgary for my accountant for income tax time... I checked with my financial guru and the flow cannot be stopped, .. yet...
Then I called my old buddy, KJ (Ken Johnston) and he was only too happy to agree to come over for a cabbage salad lunch then go shopping at Costco. The poor guy does not use online maps, and has one eye, and got lost for over an hour before finally following a cab here. It is my fault, I could have given him easier instructions but wasn't sure that 184 St went all the way from here (it does).... KJ and I go way back as neighbours, and fishing buddies and many adventures with the Lions Club.
As he was pulling up I got a call from Ash's dad, Gord, asking me if I still wanted to go out to his cabin at Lake Isle with him, and I just wanted to crawl in a hole.... I had completely forgotten the invitation... I felt like 2 cents... The good thing is that he goes every Thursday so I can make it up to him. I just called him and have put a note on my calendar for next Thursday.
KJ was a good sport trying the cabbage salad, even though he isn't really into salads, before we used my Waze program to navigate our way to Costco. Again, I did not have a confident feeling from the guys there to transfer all my stuff to a new phone, so I gave it a pass. The Galaxy A52 in Panama is looking like a better deal all the time... So I shopped for things like Montreal Steak Spice, Hy's Seasoning Salt, and more to take home to Colombia. Then I also bought a bunch of decadent snacks of course. And I bought an Air Fryer that Jill had been eyeing on our last trip there, as a thank you for all that she has done..
We came back and yakked for a while then KJ took his leave. Within minutes Danai came home from the gym and I asked here where the nearest Wal-Mart was because I still had a few things to find. She agreed to drive me there and we had such a fun time shopping together. She is definitely my descendant! We found, dill, corn syrup, garlic sausage and even more snacks. I got sunflower oil for making popcorn, beef jerky, taco kit, and so much more. And I found a Timex Indiglo watch with expansion bracelet that is exactly what I wanted to replace my existing watch that was running slow all the time now... So, all in all, it was a great day!
Right now Danai is making cabbage rolls, perogies, etc for a Ukrainian supper. She is such a neat girl. I had bought bacon crumbles for salads that will be great on the perogies as well..... Even though I am not really hungry at the moment....
Enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement.
