Home Sweet Home

 

Tick Tock

Holy cow, it's been a week. Time has just flown. My friend Siouxie has been painting/decorating/clearing out her house this summer and we've been helping do all that. Hell I can find things easier in HER house than mine LOL. So this week the bank was sending an appraiser to the house and she needed help. So we spent a couple of days over there sorting things, washing curtains, putting stuff in the basement and generally just making the house look as good as possible. It worked well enough as they got the appraisal they wanted. Siouxie and Dan (her hubby) are trying to get ready for his retirement in December and she is NOT looking for to it lol. Dan is a great guy and I've known him since I was 15 (I used to hang out with his younger brother lol), he's been working at the same company (we live in Oshawa guess what company LOL) for 30 odd years but he's only 53 so I think he's gonna be bored outta his mind in about a month - He thinks he's never gonna have to work again lol.

Katie-o is home and happy as a clam that she never ever ever has to see that camp again lol. She was impressed that they gave her a bonus on top of what she was promised in her contract lol. Hey when you are 17, 100 bucks is 100 bucks LOL.

I've thrown my friggin back out AGAIN - I need to get the doctor to DO something about it cuz holy crap I can't stand this pain much longer. It hurts to stand, it hurts to sit, it hurts to lay down. *sigh* I wish I could wave a magic wand oooooo or maybe three wishes. I'd love to be healthy again - physically and mentally.

Not a vicious rumour at all

I am indeed back and trying to re-teach myself blogging stuff lol.

My back is better and I'm feeling perky today. Just have the horrors of housecleaning to catch up on cuz you know that no one else around knows how to wash a dish, floor or clothes LOL. Ever get a feeling that you are always always going to be a mom lol.

A big Happy Anniversary to Piggy and Tazzy - two people who really deserve each other and all the happiness they can get. Ah now they are making me all soppy LOL.

Katie has the cast off her foot (hooray) and is back at work (camp) for the last time and she's as happy as a clam that it's almost over lol. She was telling me that three of the councillors was fired last session for smoking pot in camp grounds. Major shock for the camp peoples as it is a church camp. lol

My little brother (he's 40 lol) is in Costa Rica right now - seems like a dumb time to go if you ask me I mean really central america in august?? I hope he';s having a good time - things haven't been glorious for him lately lol. He had a little problem *snicker* that caused him some pain. He had a testicular hernia - not funny I know this guys before you all yell at me but what makes the story funny is that he went to the doctor for it. The doc tells him to get up on the table but he can't cuz it's too painful so the doc just has him drop his drawers. Then the doc kneels in front my bro and is examining him. Scott tells me that all that was going through his mind was "I hope to gawd that the door is locked" LOL BT told him that he was lying and what was actually going through his mind was "don't get hard, don't get hard" hahahahahaha He's fine now but THAT story will live on for a while LOL.

I got such a pain

In my neck. It was in my back and now I'm walking around like a whiplash victim. Gad I'm a loser lol.

Katie-o is back from camp for three days and the doctor took a new xray of her foot and hopefully she'll be able to take the darn thing off on Monday. Fingers crossed.

So I've been "facebooking" and wouldn't you know it, old friends are popping out of the woodwork. I didn't think it would be this much fun. Silly me. lol. It's sort of like your own personal BBS (now doesn't THAT show my age lol)

I'm still hating most of the world - other than my favorite bloggers, close friends and family. There has to be a word for it other than cranky LOL

Anybody know how to limbo?

Cuz it's hot hot hot. At this point it's nearly 40c outside ( well over 90 for you mericans lol) and we're all melting. Hell I've got air con and I"m still sweating. I feel sorry for roofers, road workers and those guys who pave driveways today. BT's job got called off today cuz it was too hot for the guys to be on a roof and on a crane and they were afraid they;d have guys hangin from their safety lines unconscious before noon. Nice to know the union is good for some things.

Milady Katherine is home from her job for a couple of days (between invasions of brats at the camp lol) and man oh man is she hating her job. But she got her first cheque from them and that has eased her hatred somewhat lol. I have to take Madam to the doctor to get her foot xrayed but she keeps leaving her Health Card at the camp and there is NO way I'm paying outright for the doc. Oh I guess I never told you about her foot. On her third day at camp she hurt her foot, the people at the camp (one who was the former nurse there!) said oh it's just a sprain, we'll wrap it in this tensor bandage and you can use these crutches for a couple of days. After THREE days, they notice her foot isn't any better so they take her to the hospital - guess who broke her foot? They were going to put a regular cast on it but she called me to ask if I would lay out 150 bucks for an aircast that she can take off and on. hahahahahaha I might actually have done it but not 5 minutes before she called BT had just come home with her birthday prezzie - a DSLite that cost just over 150. Lucky for her someone donated an aircast to that hospital and they gave it to her gratus. I need to take her to the doc so he can decide if it's healing right. The girl isn't eating right (she's lost nearly 20 pounds in a month!) and well I'm a mom so I worry.

Well i'm off to take a cold shower now cuz holy crap it's hot. hot hot hot - think i'll just samba my way to the shower now.
