Paint n Paper

Watch it transform from hell hole to hovel.  It's amazing what a little paint n paper will do... ok and some tiles.

Day 14

Posted 3/25/2020

Day fourteen: everyone should be better or dead now. Woke the boy up and fed him an egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel, told him to get dressed we were going out, he smiled and asked if he had to go to hockey, unfortunately no... so he ate in front of the video game playing hockey on the TV in the basement. We went to Timmins. The trusty sidekick picked us up, I drove into town, took care of pressing medical matters and check on dishwasher parts, not in, they will drop them off tomorrow. Had to buy cauliflower (keto people will die without this), walked in, picked 2 up (fortunately they were no more than 12 feet from the door, sure everyone in Timmins has walked by and fondled them by now but I didn't have to walk through the whole store of people <which I despise in the first place even on a none SARSday>), walked directly to self checkout and blipped the machine and tapped the card and out the door... I did however notice they have TP now (people had it in their carts)... Honestly I'm broke... always have been... which leads to thoughts like this: Now I have 4 or 5 rolls at home and normally I would be starting to look for sales on TP if it wasn't the end of the world... HOWEVER... stores are ordering this stuff by the truck load... there is going to come a point in time very shortly I figure that the demand is going to dry up... these stores are going to be sitting on a million rolls of toilet paper in the storage room and no place to put any of their normal stock... at that point it's 5 cents a roll to try and get rid of it... that's the day I'm waiting for to shop for TP. MIND YOU... that's not today, there is still a limit 1 one bag per customer at the YIG. I know this because some Twat was trying to buy a whole shopping cart of the stuff and make it out through the self checkout lanes. Staff stopped him and he claimed that he thought the limit was one 'box' full of bags of TP. I seriously thought about waiting until he came out, backing over him with my car and then stealing his fucking TP... but alas my car was still at home in the driveway buried in snow waiting to be dug out. Heather got home from work a little after us with a request for Pancakes for dinner... odd yes, but she got a taste of what I posted the other day and needed some. I think I pretty much have it down pat, I may post my recipe if I get a chance... she claims you can't even tell it's GF never mind Keto. She will be heading back to work tomorrow, some of her co-workers aren't as lucky as the workload is starting to dry up... no drills turning = no core to log, so it's only a matter of time before she's home for good and we all starve to death. We're just glad KLGold is keeping them on as long as possible to lessen the financial burden of times to come. Anyway we watched another movie tonight, Indiana Jones, one I've never seen, almost had enough action to keep the boy interested, not many movies do. We've had more TV in the last 2 weeks than in the last 4 months. Funny, I used to get more than that in a day as a kid. Brush your teeth and off to bed with you now.
