Backaches, Bimbos, and Breakups

Aug Many'th.

Calendar correction, si ma'am.

Aug 28th.

School in most of Canada starts after Labour Day. (which is actually a holiday up there.) But except for college and uni, they all end in June too.

There are some all year schools too.

There is some variation here, as you might have noticed. My daughter's old school followed a similar schedule to your daughter's, but here they get out in May and don't go back until September. This might explain their lower testing scores, or it could be one of the towns that also utilizing the school that is a little different.

It is going to be sad when she goes back, isn't it?

Also - promised myself I'd go to bed earlier tonight and have yet to go to bed because I'm not tired.

Saturday report, see man:

Arose early for GSs, zzz man.

Went to probably Many, half nearby and half in the "exotic" area, ambitious man.

Should have stopped after the first 2 or Many, sigh man.

Rant, man: There ought to be a law that if you're having an MS (moving-sale) but all that you have is garage junk and ratty old ceiling fans, you should state that in your ad, si man. If you're having a "huge" GS but are selling only holiday decorations, you should state that, si man. If you're having an MS but plan to counter offers with "No, we're not lowering prices until the end of the day," you should be shot, c u man. My reply next time this happens: "Lady, do you want to get rich, or do you want to get rid of your stuff so you can move, huh man?"

With that said, here's the take, see man:

magnetic list for refrigerator = half of half a buck
adhesive magnetic strips = half of half a buck
2 Many-watt globe bulbs = $1
bathmat = $1
bathmat = half a buck + half of half a buck
coffee cup = half of half a buck
new package of lunch-bags = half a buck
high-quality commemorative plastic coasters = half of half a buck
steak fork = 10 cents
newish underwear = half a buck
new bottle hair conditioner = half a buck
large wooden coaster = half of half a buck
denture container = half of half a buck
2 scissors = half a buck
jar-opener = half a buck - Many% (2x2x2x2+2+2%)
vise-grip pliers = $Many - Many% (2x2x2x2+2+2%)

---

TOTAL = $Many, see man.

(The last 2 items were the only purchases in the "exotic" locale, timewaste man.)

Returned to casa by noon:Many, distance man.

Made it to lawnmower-repair place and redeemed mower for $Many.Many, reasonable man.

Managed to get it out of trunk without help, no ouch man.

Adjusted cutting level to Scalp, and tested it, see man.

Machine self-propelled so well that front lawn was done almost before realization thereof, gee man.

(Central Yard-Americans had just come on Thursday, but we made the look consistent, see man.)

Can now dump the CY-As, to whom I've paid $Many during this back/repair debacle, expen$e man.
Took more donations to donation place, donate man.

They were again glad to see me, see man.

Only one of last week's sets of sheets was on the rack, curious man.

Cashier said that towels & sheets fly out of there, and they'd had a couple of heavy days, sell man.

This matches what head lady had mentioned a couple of years ago, memory man.

Bought shirt that wasn't half-price, but the total was only $Many.Many, fairlyreasonable man.

At 2:Many p.m., detoured to a GS that was advertised from Many a.m. to Many p.m., drive man.

Of course there was no sign of it, no see man.

Went to supermarket; found Many damaged boxes of lemon cookies marked way down, whee man.

Have eaten too many of those already tonight, ingest man.

Showered, then napped with feline, clean and zzz miu man.

Took the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile for badly needed warshing, clean man.

Took the T-B.-mobile for badly needed warshing, clean man.
Warshed kitchen rags + new purchases, Thread-Laundress Report man.

Dished the warsher, including many hormigas swarming on Many plates, boil them man.

Asked Mrs. T-B., "Why do you call them 'hormigas' when 'ants' is simpler, huh man?"

Got dirty look from Mrs. T-B., she man.

Folded kitchen rags et al., Thread-Laundress Report man.

Must de-dish the warsher, hormiga corpses man.

Cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', absent Commie-babes!

Who of our adoring entourage shall exhibit the exquisite taste of bestowing +1 this way, huh man?

1. I'd like to point out that I strongly believe that your house must resemble an episode of hoarders. Where do you put all this stuff?

2. Dentures? Didn't realize you were quite that old TB...

1. Most of it is consumable or small or compact, see ma'am. We also upgrade and donate, see ma'am.

2. 'Tis good for various mouthpieces, see ma'am. And I am indeed Many years old, si ma'am: of quinquagenarian vintage, to be precise, dictionary man.

Many. Where's our +1, huh ma'am?

There's one; where are more, stingy ma'am? Think like a Commie-babe, plea ma'am.

Cat prep zzz man.

I'm trying not to think about when she goes back and just enjoy the time with her while she's here. i have a feeling she may eventually want to stay if she has her own room and space. But I like the schooling she gets back in AB. I just think she'd be a more rounded adult living with us, because we're more strict than her father. He's learning though.

Later today we're going to go pick out some craft stuff, some new shoes for school, and watch a movie.

School starts the 18th of next month for us, but they won't let our son attend. They say he has to be five years old.

We'll set that day aside to test him again. He's doing covalent bonding in chemistry right now. Hard to imagine where he will be a year from now when they will allow him in kindergarten.

Do they not have a special case allowance? I know here that the superintendent can grant special permission to allow a child less than the age allowed by law into kindergarten.

How about private school? Once they've done kindergarten there seems to be less issue with age and first grade entrance...

You sound like the way I teach my daughter! I was talking to her about hydrogen bonding this week as my husband gave a dumb look. Oh Danish education, how vastly superior you are.

[believe 46]

bah - interim report.

We tossed all plans of divorce, instead making new plans to actually work on the marriage.

This took some time, as she finally understood what my financial portfolio looks like and why she has a real estate portfolio in her name.

in the meantime, my allergies have turned into a really bad cold, the phlegm color is green and leaves my body often.

Yay for marital reunion!

Sorry for the green snot. Hope you feel better now. Summer colds are the worst.

[believe 46]

The part that really gets me from all of that, is I call him, ask him if he's looked at any appts online while I'm driving. He says "No, I'm going out to eat since I didn't have lunch."

....

....

....

This man should be thanking his lucky stars he has me as a wife. He says that I'm a fantastic wife. I feel like a crazy wife sometimes. But maybe I really am that fantastic wife. I wonder what kind of bauble I should pick out for him to get me for being so amazing?

I'm glad we don't have to pack everything in 3 days. I'm super glad I'm not homeless. . I'm super duper glad we don't have to move in with his work buddy either. And this man better super ooper duper trying to help me find us a home so this isn't an freakin issue!

Bah! Men sometimes... Great job for working it all out.

Nothing but torrential rain in Sydney this week. Good thing I leave in 2 days!

I'd like to know why a 4 year old needs to know covalent bonding?

So he/ she can bond with his/ her covalent buddies
