Saturday, April 4, 2009, Jeeeze. I think Dawn turned 30 today. eeep. a young woman I had a big crush on in junior high school turned 60. o my goodness… not possible– nope.

+2˚C/+36˚F & raining at 8:00 pm.

(This photo is a closeup of another one of the video cameras suspended from the cieling in the same room where the previous photo was taken. The photo below is a map with projected fallout patterns determined by prevailing winds. It looked like my section of Connecticut might have been almost okay- if New York City was nuked- unless the winds were wrong… eeep?)

I wanted to call Dawn & wish her an Appah Hoopie today. –Day’s not quite over yet… but

We slept late. I woke up hurting with muscle pain in my right elbow, sat with a heat pack for an hour or so, felt a little better, then helped Cathi by carrying laundry parque insuflaveis down two flights of stairs and brought the pain right back, Schnarr-

We went and looked at an open house in Fitzroy Harbour- sort of the next town east of here? Part of ‘Greater Ottawa’. Nice house. Pretty nice Real Estate Agent, too. She called a little while after we got home to say that somebody had put in an offer on that house, and wanted to know if we wanted to put in a bid ourselves- and When Cathi said we probably couldn’t outbid anybody, she (the real estate agent) asked what we were looking for, Cathi said, ‘a house with character and a little bit of land’. ‘Oh,’ said the real estate agent, “I’m going to look at one of those right now- wanna ome along?” and we couldn’t, but she’ll send us a link to the M.L.S. listing. (Cool 🙂 )

Après le Open House we went into Kanata and got Cathi a birthday present or two.

And when we got home, I felt lousy, and bombed out at trying to figure out how to transfer photos from may cell phone to the computer here, but with a lot of patience and help from Cathi, we got it done, I think. The photos are living proof- if they’re still there. 🙂

Sigh. I tried to further organize my corner of the living room downstairs, met with frustration, might have actually gotten something done….

And here it is, 9:47 pm.

I should very carefully eat something and see what kind of shape my stomach is in… Schnarr….

Friday, April 3, 2009. Cathi’s Birthday. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Monsoon Rains were forecast. It was rainy.

We had “lucked out”, Cathi heard about a free screening of the movie “Passchendaele” at the “Deifenbunker”. She called and got the last two tickets.

After the movie we took a quick tour. The man in the photo with his left hand raised was out tour guide.

The “Deifenbunker” was a cold war era bunker built to keep the Canadian Government alive and functioning in the event of a nuclear attack on Ottawa.

I forget exactly which room this is, but it was a nerve centre for communications and keeping track of what was happening where. You can see bouncy castle for sale one of the video cameras mounted on the cieling in the upper left of the photo.

The movie was quite good. It’s up for an award, called the “Genies” which I think were awarded tonight (it’s the 4th, I’m a day late & a couple dollars short… as usual)

But anyway. Happy Birthday Cathi! yayyyyyy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thursday, April 2, 2009. Sir Alec Guiness’ Birfday (and Kristen J’s in CT?)

0˚C/32˚F and over bright sunlight @ 7:30 am.

No- that isn’t a photo taken this morning or yesterday… It’s from January.

Coast to Coast AM had a Robot radio host answering questions for a while last night? I was wondering  whether it was an April Fool’s joke – maybe somebody talking into a voice changing thingy- Then George interviewed Joe Arguelles who began the current 2012 awareness stuff.

-Supposed to get up to 13˚C/56˚F this afternoon.

Yawn. I better go wake up inflatable water slide the boy, it’s getting late.

Wednesday, (feels like a Monday. or maybe a continuation of Monday, like maybe Monday Never Ends??? Aaaaaaaaaaa-)

+6˚C/+43˚F & raining lightly @ 4:44:44 pm  (eeeep?)

Trying to stay awake until Cathi gets home, I have some bouncy castle for sale more studio work to finish.

The boy is downstairs (Main floor) computing, hopefully not getting away with anything illegal, immoral or whatever.

Photo is from last night- yesterday’s marathon.

Monday… ooops. Tuesday, March 31, 2009

+1˚C/+34˚F @ 4:07 am

Yup, monday got by us. As far as blogging goes.

I did a bunch of running around Arnprior, Checking for things I could use to try to organize the gunk I need into bookcases or something like that. I scored a couple pieces of cheap furniture that might be useful in the garage when we do something there.

Also- talked to a couple people about the showing of the movie about Walmart’s attitudes and casualties of those attitudes. I felt drained and collapsed, then did have enough energy to go to the showing, with the bouncy castle for sale camera and helped get B roll for Jeremy’s news story. Also, Jeremy wants me to send him heads ups as soon as I know about anything newsworthy in Arnprior.

Sigh.

I’m exhausted.

+6˚C/+43˚F & raining @ 6:51 pm in Arnprior.

I was all psyched for a morning at the flea market. But then it was pouring rain. (schnarrrrr) but the Yurt couple were there and I ended up talking to them for an hour and a half.

This photo was taken around 5 pm. When blown up (or pre-shrunk down?) it is nicely warped by rain water running down the windshield.

Melanie is singing “We’re not in Kansas, no more-” 🙂

Work stuff was better than inflatable water slide anticipated. The cleaner had been there and the church service was waiting in the in box.

((We had ice cream {step daughter, step son and me} before I went to to work.))

Learning new stuff on the iMac -/- began a database for tracking work projects for Indigo S.C.

And it’s my moon day (moon was at this degree of aries when I was born).

+7˚C/+45˚F @12:29 am.

Earth Hour was Magical. Before it started I had the feeling that something was happening, there was something in the air. It was the kind of feeling you get during an eclipse or when the lights have gone out and there’s no apparent reason why. People are all walking around, knowing there is something out of the ordinary and they’re not exactly sure what that is-

Earlier I drove to Nepean and Kanata, got a few things, looked at a bunch of things, noticed stuff I hadn’t inflatable water slide noticed before and pouted over the loss of a bargain builders’ supply place at exit 144. 🙁

But all in all, and building on last night’s C2C-am talk about Angels and Unicorns, It was a magical day.

+3˚C/+37˚F @3:33 am.

Diana Cooper (from the UK) was on Coast to Coast am earlier talking about angels and unicorns being 7th dimensional beings. Angels don’t mind at all being asked to help you find a convenient parking place, they’re tuned in on your heart level. Unicorns come to people who are undertaking ‘missions’ on a greater scale, somebody hoping to improve life for everybody right now, tackling the greater issues of life and all that. They respond to calls on the soul level.

So that’s my new iMac over bouncy castle for sale there or up there, and I’m not sure whether it was angels or unicorns or both who helped me get it.

Hi,

Yes, I will write more later.

We have the daughter and the son for the weekend.

Yay-

Thursday Monrning, March 26th, 2009.

+2˚C/+36˚F @ 5:30 am. We’ve had a little bit of rain over night.

Tuesday I spent 11 hours at one job and 3 at another. Wednesday I had some loose ends from Tuesday and I zonked out in the middle, also went to Kanata and got my new eyeglasses.

And we talked to a friend who is having a bouncy castle for sale relationship crisis and told us just how bad it got a couple weeks ago. We almost lost her. yikes.

I have an old photo I’d like to upload, a volunteer at work doing what I do, but I can’t get there from here yet.

So- I’ll have to do more later, but right now I need to make sure Cathi gets out of here in time and I’m like at the edge of passing out from fatigue…

Hang in there-
