🧿 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
🍱 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
🌌 for all to see
' look up, look way up ' the words of the Friendly Giant [ CBC kids program ]
today s program
1. change the sheets. air the blankets
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.
vacuum the debris
success
🦃
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
🕸 sing it Petula Clark
A good weather day in the ' boro. Bit of gustiness, sun and a slight bite in the air
🦃 and I don't mean the day. not bad
cool to cold. Wind was up and then died way down
Tranquil is 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
