I can't believe it is already Wednesday and it is the 13th already of October. The month is going by way too fast.
Tomorrow I am going to have my final wisdom tooth removed, have to have done at a specialists, I guess it is a tricking one and they are going to put me out for it. Donkey has booked the day off to be my driver and babysitter, the lucky boy.
My little dog isn't feeling too well today. Has been really slow moving around the house, his groomer came and picked him up for a hair cut and even she commented that he just isn't himself today. He is 13 years old so he is maybe having an old man day.
Baked a beautiful apple pie today, looking forward to it for dessert, might have it first and then have dinner. Dinner is just some chicken and rice, oh and some nice fresh squash, love this time of year for all the readily available squash.
I have a big surprise for everyone, but I can't tell you yet. Others have to be told first and then I can pass it on. We think we are pleased but only time will tell. And here we go again! What are we thinking, only kidding, it was a choice that we thought will be good for everyone. And really hope that everyone will be supportive.
The weather is really fall like today, the warmth of the weekend isn't here at all now, and kind of raining or at least really trying to be rain, more of a mist. And dark out. Wish we didn't change the clocks and have to deal with the days seeming so short. But I guess it is better than some provinces that it is dark or dusk for months on end. That has got to be depressing.
Had a nice visit yesterday with my Kitten, sat and caught up and drank too much coffee, guess what I was doing all night? Coffee is so good going down, not so much when it wants back out all night long and you can't sleep. But was still a nice visit and worth the lost sleep.
Oh this is cute. We have 5 mature trees in the front of our property and they lose a ton of leaves, of course. Yesterday when I was pulling into the drive a couple of young boys were going by on bikes with rakes, I am thinking oh they are going to stop and ask to do the leaves, how much cash do I have on me. Well the first boy didn't even slow down, the second as he is getting closer is slowing down and chime up "hey are you wanting to rake some leaves?", he looks at all the leaves, we presently don't have any grass and shakes his head "yeah no thanks, I don't think so". Was really funny, because it hit me that this is our youth, yeah they will do the job if it really isn't that big or hard of a job, but if it looks to big or hard they don't want anything to do with it. This is our future CEO's and we have created this lazy society of youths. They don't have to work for anything in most cases because we give them anything and everything they could ever want. And don't make them work for it. I was guilty of it once upon a time with my own children, they did little chores and of course the older they got the more that was expected of them, but I sure wasn't ever handed money whenever I asked for it. I had a part-time job at 12 and babysat as much as I was asked. If I wanted the fancier clothes I earned the money to buy them, I wasn't taken to the mall and have it bought for me. But I guess times have changed. And maybe we are compensating for all those extra hours we work and are away from home and we feel the need to buy our children's love. Just my opinion.
Well it is 6 and I am waiting on Donkey to call so I can throw the chicken in the oven and finish the fried rice for our dinner. It is Survivor night and I really do try to see some of it before Donkey kicks me off of the tv and I have to go and watch tv in bed.
Everyone have a good night!
Love and hugs
And to my brother-in-law, good luck tomorrow buddy we will be thinking of you big time. And sister-in-law you call if you need me, I owe you!

Another One Is Over
Well that is the last long weekend of the year. Hope everyone was able to spend some time with those that you love or at least can tolerate. And had some good food.
Christmas is the next holiday we have, well unless of course you celebrate the American Thanksgiving.
This month I am sure will go down in the history books, 10/10/10, was yesterday. Don't think we are going to see that again in our lifetimes. And there is five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays this month. I have forgotten when this will happen again, but unless you intend to live really really long you won't see this again either.
My Donkey is off golfing today, probably the last time out of the year, well here in Canada anyways. I am sure he will be golfing in Florida come December. Has been a really beautiful weekend weather wise, lots of sun a perfect weekend to go and check out the fall colors. Which I haven't been able to do. Tomorrow I hope to go to my Kitten's house and will be taking the camera and try and get a few shots taken. She has been suffering from a cold of some sort so will have to see how she is feeling tomorrow, I don't go to sick peoples houses and they don't come here. Have a bit of a phobia of the sickly, I am done with hospitals and doctors and I stay away from the ill, my system just can't fight it off anymore.
We had a lovely meal yesterday at the in-laws, was great to see the family (well not all of them), all the kids are sure growing up fast, have to take a second look at some of them to realize who they are. Donkey comes from a large family, eight siblings including him. I was raised alone, all the siblings were grown and gone when I came along, so seeing the interaction of large families always amazes me. I think I might being alone.
My daughter and boyfriend with the kidlets came, very nice to see them. I had picked them up the cutest halloween outfits for this month, so cute. And of course I forgot to take pictures and for once I actually remembered to bring the camera, so typical of me. Either I forget the damn thing or I forget to use it. Last year I left it on the piano when we went to Florida, thank goodness my sister-in-law had hers and shared with me. I have to take pictures of palm trees, I don't know what it is about them but I sure have a lot of pictures of them.
Oh and an update on our weepy basement, I think it has finally stopped. I have been able today to turn off the pump, poor little thing has been working non-stop for weeks it seems. Basement looks good so far, fingers crossed. Left the pump down there just in-case though, we have that kind of luck.
Did I tell you I got rid of that damn piano. If you ever need movers for a piano call Dial A Movers from Orillia, nice guys and they were very respectful of the house and the piano. I hope the family that took it are happy with it.
Well that is kind of it for today, I am suppose to be working and needed a bit of a break, now it is coffee time. Enjoy the holiday today, and will talk to you next week.
Love and hugs
