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 142

Posted 7/31/2020
Day 142: Friday! Friday! Friday! I don't know why I excited... like week days or week ends make a difference to you when you have no job to go to... I planned to go to Timmins today to get some groceries for the weekend and maybe look at an engine hoist. The guy messaged me about the stand which delayed my visit... apparently we needed to work around his ex wife's schedule or something... I'm pondering why... are you going to piss her off more or something? Pretty sure that boat has likely already sailed... LOL OK but honestly it was her place we were getting the stuff from so... I picked it up on the way home... he was going to be in the garage... only problem is the address he gave me had no garage... I messaged him back, told him what I was driving... apparently he could see me just down a few doors... he had given me the wrong address... gotta love fat fingers on the cell phone, I have the problem my self all the time. Tossed it in the back of the car... it's one of the ones that fold up... no hydraulic cylinder, I can deal with that, should be able to get one for $80 I figured. I get a message from Sidekick... he needed his car jump started at the bank in Matheson... I'm like sure walk over to my place and put on a pot of coffee, I'll be there in an hour, I'm on my way home from Timmins right now. He complied, we had a coffee and then went to rescue his car... had another coffee but he didn't get back out of the house until the wife made it home. Now while I was out I did manage to stop by the post office and grab the mail. Kinda waiting for that cage to come in... got a bill from one of the credit cards that actually had a positive balance on it... Yes I used the word "had" - apparently there is an annual fee for us to use the card they charge us interest on and charge the shops a % of for each transaction... you know what... fuck them the greedy bastages... take the fee, cram it up you ass, cancel the card and send us our damn money back you owe us. Well that's one less card I need to worry about... Sidekick left... I'd say he's never seen anyone freak out for getting a $4 bill before but he's likely done it himself. LOL Dinners have not been our thing this week... Lawson got a sausage on a toasted bagel with lots of mustard... hell he could eat mustard as a side dish... now I like mustard but the thought of sitting down with a bowl of it and a spoon is a bit harsh. Heather made some of our buns but hotdog shaped and we had ours on those. It was a late meal... as we were cooking in the Kitchen, we also made a few cakes and got some of the other cooking does for tomorrow nights meal... going to have a small feast and take ourselves over to finish the cooking at a friends place tomorrow... Lawson's friends from hockey. Time to give Keto a try... lots of yummy stuff to choose from. Heather fell to sleep early again, I packed up some of the food and wrote this... well maybe a few of thises - how the fuck do you pluralise this: "this" Meh, too damn late to worry about stuff like that, well this or that I guess.
