Sis texted me a picture of my hometown with snow. SNOW??? WTH?

I guess this is just making up for the unusually warm winter!

Lucky you. Woke up to 3 inches of snow today and it was still snowing. Going to drop to 25 degrees tonight.:(

Do Right, Be Right. :)



That is a total downer Jack. It's the type of weather I expect to hear about in Alberta.

Well, I got 2 phone calls today. One from the head lady of mah jong group to sort of check on me.

The other my boss who stumbled around asking me how I am and spent 5 minutes attempting to have a conversation with me. Outside of work, she doesn't know how to talk to me.

ETA: Oh yes. My boss also mentioned that she has had to do everything around the house herself since this all started. Sorry but I cannot and will not feel sorry for her.

Also decided to sit down and watch an entire 2hour wrestling program with the sound on mute. I did this because the fill in for the second commentator is a wrestler and I don't like the dude. It was actually a little better with the sound off.

Wanted to watch the whole show because one of my favourites was going to be on in a title match. He has the heavy weight title and was defending against another guy who I don't like. Anyways long story short, my favourite won. Wahoo!!

I think, BRENDA, if your boss had been at all honest, this is what she would have said:

Hi Brenda, this is XXXX. I'm really falling behind in the housework and I could use some help. Are you healthy? Do you feel like you could come in to work on your usual schedule? Do you mind wearing a mask? I'd be more than happy to increase your pay by $2/hr during the crisis to make up for the inconvenience of the mask and the risk of transportation.

That will be the day. Think she was fishing that I offer to come over and help her probably for free. Don't know about that one. As I said she was stumbling around for things to say.

I can walk over to the house from where I live now much easier than I could before.

Before we hung up, she said feel free to call if you need to talk. I don't think so. Her and her husband were both useless for me as counsellors when my mom died and after my Blair died.

Yup, just heard about the first brush fire up here. It is near Squamish. People being evacuated.
