I'm alive and well and living in Winnipeg

 We are settling in and still trying to find where the movers left things.  But everything appears to have a place, although some of those places make me shake my head.  The bathrooms are both a good size.  Mine even has a decent linen closet in it.  We've also each referred to the suite as "home", so I guess we've made the move emotionally as well.

Unfortunately, we were without any communication other than my cell phone for 4 days--no tv or internet--nothing. The fellow from Shaw came just around noon on Friday and didn't leave until almost 3:30, but he did get things set up.  Then yesterday, the guy from "The Geek Squad" called to say that he had a couple of cancelations and would it be okay for him to come yesterday instead of Monday.  He was coming to get our printer up and running as part of the WI-FI system. So that job is done.

I still can't see the top of my kitchen table, although there are a few holes peeking through.  It had been at least 6 inches deep with paperwork, mainly associated with the move from the house into the suite.  Late yesterday I sent an e-mail accepting a quote from a house cleaning service for the house.  The acceptance was conditional with the job being done before next Friday.  The only job left is to arrange to have Victoria Life Line up and running here.  All last week we could get nothing but busy signals on the number we were suppose to call, but I got though on another number and left a message Friday evening.

So here I sit on Sunday morning. I am still exhausted, and will likely have a nap when I finish this.  Given the current heat wave, we both are just too tired, but have had to deal with moving issues, regardless.  I think of you both often, in a loving way.

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
