🧿 get me thru November

 🧿 coming out the other side

I cheated. the song is " get me thru December " as sung by Alison Krauss

dreary in the ' boro. however, life seems to be flowing thru the gap

an uneventful day ? a scam call from? the CIBC [ bank ] to question ' where is your Bank card '

I refused to answer. Called the branch, and was told CIBC will not initiate a call

a real ' fishing expedition '

ah, our society in full play AND I reused to play
Still irritating

🍱 Novemborus 19

 🍱 dreary looking out there
but we will take it

The weather is starting to turn.

 it's damper and the winds picked up but I still got out there. I used my apparatus to clear out the  2 and floor gutters. To reach effectively I stood on the ladder. Two steps up and success.

 blew everything out in the eaves trough 

The sense of accomplishment made my day

it's the doing and succeeding

2. after much delay and procrastination, clean the living room carpet
the system requires vacuuming, sifting the powder on the slightly moistened carpet. scrub w/ a brush. let sit.

🦃 indeed

 🦃

Saturday was Turkey Day. we cooked a 14 # turkey, stuffed and gravy

we missed Thanksgiving dinner [ turkey, I mean ]. saw a turkey in Walmart. so.

 M .. helped quite a bit. but her fingers and back flare up and hurt

anyway. success. Actually, I envisioned stacked plastic containers w/ bird
not so bad afterall
we have leftover turkey but more in the range of 4 containers

now gravy. M .. is very consistent when cooking. Thus, when she gets it right once
yes. everytime is a winner

she made a quality of gravy. Meaning. I can have rice and gravy for many meals
Rice and gravy is a food genre - all of its own. Some might say the best of West and East

my favourite rice, currently, is Nishiki brand. Japanese short fain rice. Tends to cook softer than long grain and plumps up

🦀 novemburus 14 in the ' boro

 🦀 sunny, windy and cool [ like November ]

this AM. I contacted Walmart. We had ordered a 🦀 recumbent bike.
Shipping from the Far East. Via LA, CA  onto Richmond, BC. And stuck in BC

Walmart advised that Walmart is not in control of the package. Call Purolator and say ' return to depot / pickup  ' I .....
called Purolator.  " your wait times is 30 minutes. Then,  later ' your wait time is over ten minutes. '
' your wait time is over ten minutes, do require a call back ' Yes

finally, a real person called back. ' What do you need ? ' Cancel the order !  
oh, you mean return to sender '

as in the Elvis song

AND Purolator did ' halt shipment and return to Walmart Depot '

naturally, the wait is 5 - 6 days. maybe, Walmart will refund the money in 10 days [ ? ]

valuable lessons : Walmart is not Amazon
we've grown accustomed to a level of online retail [ five packages in 1 week ] from Amazing Inc
