Those of you who follow this blog may recall I currently work at Fido selling cell phones. I recently had to spend an evening (on my day off) attending training for the launch of the new Windows 8 phones.

So last month I got myself a new laptop. Nothing crazy, but a very nice mid-range AMD quad-core. It came with Windows 7 pre-installed. It also came with a voucher to get $25 off Windows 8. So I said what the heck, why not. Now I’m just waiting for the install to complete. So far…

Dear Dad, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how lucky I have been to have you in my life. We didn’t always see eye to eye… especially when I was younger. But we eventually worked that out. You mellowed with age and I grew up. It’s amazing what a…

Other than that, I’ve read, surfed the Web, thought about going to the pharmacy for Robaxacet (these stools are killing my back), phoned and left a message for Lynn and texted my daughter. For those who haven’t guessed, I’m a little…

Tammy is back in Sudbury, and I’m back at my trailer. We drove up on Saturday, and back to Ottawa on Sunday. That’s about 650kms each way. Since I don’t drive, that’s a lot of driving for Lynn. From the get-go, we planned on stopping at the trailer on the way home. Officially, it’s to…

Today’s post is all about the things we take for granted. This has a lot to do with being home all alone. Lynn, Cynthia and Tammy have taken my dog and run away. At least as far as our trailer. That was another thing on my niece’s to do list, spend a few days at…
