Monday October 23, 2023

I had gone to bed at midnight and woke at 4am, and finally gave up at 5am.  I got to work on chores and making "brag sheets" of the people we are related to and the entertainment stars we have met.  In that research I found a few names that I have to see if they show up on my tree for the connections.....  I again cannot make my Canon printer print.....  Grrrrrrrrrrr   Another problem to solve again.

Even though it was forecast, it was still hard to see the snow finally arrive although much has melted already.  Winter is winter, and a high of -4C is to be expected, and even welcomed in the dead of it.  It is the -30C or worse that makes us hermitize.

I worked until lunchtime and crashed for 3 hours, getting up in time to welcome Don to watch the 2 MLB baseball playoff games.  The Texas Rangers showed so much power blowing out the Blue Jays during the wild card race that I knew they would be the team to beat.  They have won an incredible 8 games straight ON THE ROAD, taking out their neighbours, the Houston Astros tonight...   The Diamondbacks and Phillies are 3-3, so decide their series tomorrow.   My money is on the Rangers.

Cristina finally has an appointment to see a neurologist tomorrow about her consistent migraines.  I had prompted her into action by providing dinero.  She says she has confidence in this doctor, so I hope she gets an MRI and they find the poor lady a permanent solution.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

Sunday October 22, 2023

I keep waking up at 4am, sometimes because of a noise from the neighbor, but I usually force myself back to doze a few more hours.

Friday, Don, Bob and I watched sports most of the day and Bob sprung for pizza from Grandma Pizza which was awesome!

Saturday, was more curling, football, Formula 1 and hockey all day until late night with the boys.

Today, Don and I watched the ladies curling final then he wanted to show me a store where he buys cheap, but dated veggies, like my salad kits for $1.25.  He feels that he is saving by driving across the city to buy something he must use within 2 days...  Sorry, that is not for me...  We stopped at No Frills and I got salads for 8 days like usual, all within the "best before" dates.  I hate shopping for the most part.

We returned to watch the mens curling final with Bob, flipping back and forth with the Formula 1 race.  Then it is nap time after I finish this short Blog, because baseball is at 6pm....

I am not complaining...  It sure helps to make the hours go by and to have good company.

My son sent a forecast for snow tonight with the high of only 4C today.  So going to Whyte Avenue was out,.. no time to go anyway, and everybody would be bundled up.. 

I just broke the memory card in my main camera....  Oh joy!

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
