I spent Monday in the rain hauling in two sail boats off of Lake Champlain. The first one was small and took 5 of us to actually get the thing on the trailer. What was making all this so hard were the winds which were at about 40mph - crazyness. I was in charge on the first boat of lowering the main mast. Well, heh go figure, a big wind caught it ( Read more... )

OK another night of not sleeping more than three hours. My mind goes at about 10,000mph and I can't stop it. I take a laptop to bed while Patch is zzzzzz'ing away next to me and play FreeCell for 2 hrs, still can't sleep. Grrrrrrr. I did win 22 games in a row though, an all time record for me. So today, again, I'm here, barely awake and trying to ( Read more... )

Wow, for a week now I've been hit with this awful insomnia. Last night, I go to bed at 12:06am, and found myself turning and tossing and so decided to get up and go play computer cards.... it was 1:05am.

YAAAAH - my card finally arrived on Monday - my permanent resident card that is.... now I can come and go as I please and get services etc... weeeeee. Sooo... I'm off to Boston next Thursday, the 13th, for a week or two. Whomever wants something from the US let me know.

OK instead of the CODE blue I always hear about (especially living with a nurse), I'm going to now use CODEstupid when it feels necessary. LOL ( Read more... )

Hey - I'm wondering why Canada doesn't offer XM or Serius radio? I have a subscription in the US and it is just the best, like cable TV but for your radio. No commercials, uncensored stuff. The greatest thing is that they made it available on the web to all subscribers so I've got the tunes going throughout the day while I sit here peeping at jobs ( Read more... )

So... after just over a year of not being at my old job they STILL have my email address posted as the contact person. Heh heh, silly eh?

Let's get something gayly bent, I'm the TIRD! I have no issues with that, I'm secure in my tirdyness. Anyways, I went to the immigration office yesterday at the Bonneventure Metro stop with my momma who has been here visiting for some time now. Get to the second floor and the security guard was a real ASSHOLE - but I kept my compousre, refused to ( Read more... )

Three days.... painting the bathroom and pulling apart the radiator and recaulking the tub etc... oy, my back.
