Thought I heard a noise this morning as I surfaced briefly from sleep. 8:30, nope, not getting up at that hour. When I did get up two hours later there was an email waiting for me. 'Your package has been delivered.' When Canadian Tire says next day, I don't expect that to mean twelve hours. So I limped downstairs to check. Yes, my Dirt Devil was ( Read more... )

Nice to get a gas bill for .17. Yes, seventeen cents, because the hot water heater now bills separately and I overpaid last time because winter is coming. Though not that fast because we seem to get a resurgance of summer weather once a week or so ( Read more... )

Back to, if not summer temperatures, certainly sumer humidity and consequent aches and malaise. Actually this is a very September thing, which I keep forgetting: the mug and brassy light and background allergies and general wanhope. Will be cooler on the weekend but will also rain. This is going to be a warmer than average autumn, they say, which ( Read more... )

Still not that hot but muggy muggy ohh so muggy. Walking to library and my tony Korean restaurant, I had to put my backpack in the carrier because of the sweat: and that with a thin rayon top and cotton bra.  Nothing works in mug but gauze, which soaks up the wet. And no one makes gauze tops but this woman I used to go to in Stratford 45 years ago ( Read more... )

Physio says my right leg-- the 'good' one-- is weaker than the left. Might explain the odd achey pains I've been getting in the ankle at night, as well as the feeling of being unbalanced when I walk. OTOH having lost three kilos as of last Friday I can now walk up the stairs again step-step-step, provided it's neither hot or muggy. Which it sort of ( Read more... )

I do like it when things work as they should. Feels like a gift from the universe. And for me, better than assuming they will, because the betrayal when they don't leaves me flailing ( Read more... )

Well, that could have been more painful. The direct line the physio gave me was 'this number is not in service,' the booking dep't goes to lunch at 12:30 not 1, and I somehow got the MRI people not the CT scan ones. But I wasn't on hold for much more than ten minutes when I called at 1:30 and they don't play muzak. I have an appointment now in ( Read more... )

In something of a State, reason unknown unless it's the State of the world. Tax refund has shown up in my account, so that's good.

Finished Days at the Morisaki Bookstore, sentimental Japanese novel but well translated, which the last translated novel I tried (Tell Me How You Live) most certainly was not. It's a good translator who can turn all ( Read more... )

Yes it did rain all day and is still doing it. For once I'm hoping it will change to snow as forecast because, boots or no boots, I need to get out tomorrow. Had no trouble staying in for four days two weeks ago but now it makes me antsy as all get out. Assembled my tax stuff no problem aside from an access of stupidity over 'where is my 2023 ( Read more... )
