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 196

Posted 9/23/2020

Day 196: Happy Hump Day!!! Getting a jump on today's update I started this post at 12:05... 5 minutes into the day... still not much to report on yet... oh ya, COVID still sucks. OK now back to yesterday. LOL Kind of a post post report. Did I mention COVID sucks? Yes apparently that part of the day was already noted. Breakfast routine went off as normal, eggs toast bacon, I made him a sandwich for lunch... on a grilled cheese kick this week by the looks of it. And all of that yummy lunch meat in the fridge and wanting nothing to do with it. He packed the rest and was out the door on time. Couldn't find shit or get anything working for me after that... Wallet, ownerships, insurance slip, money... ya couldn't find any of that stuff... it was in the bathroom on the counter in plain sight, likely looked right at it 5 times... didn't help... I gave up looking and left without it. Sidekicks house to pick him up for our weekly visit to Timmins to see the doctors. No money, no cards, not much you can do so it was likely going to be a short day. Off to Canadian Tire to return a jack that didn't work that had never been used... I had no hope that they would do anything about it, honestly not my problem but if Sidekick wasn't to try, by all means I'm not going to stop him... I waited in the car. No receipt, no luck, maybe try again next week. BestBuy, needed a cell phone range extender because we live in the middle of butt fuck nowhere... needed to be ordered. OK how about a usb cable... I may have enough change in the ashtray for that. Yup. Groceries? Nope, not without money... we head home, stop by Timmies on the way out. Sidekick buys me a coffee because I can't find my wallet. Then the farm to drop off the egg cartons that I forgot at home... Batting 1000. Dropped off Sidekick so he could get back to work and then head back home myself. Took the crap I had remembered back into the house. I sit down and go to hook up my battery and cell phone thingy I bought the USB cable for, I open the box... and there is nothing in side. I text Melanie and bitched at her about it. Must have been stolen at the store, no point stealing the box, you would just have to throw that out anyway, might as well let someone at the store do that... Fuck, Some people are just complete pieces of shit. Let's see, what's for dinner... seems to be leftovers in the fridge. I make up some more meatballs to supplement the leftovers... not like the meat I used to make the leftovers wasn't leftovers itself... it just hadn't officially been to the table yet. Lawson gets home... then Heather gets home... we have a great feast that only taste like the inside of a refrigerator a little bit... I guess every night can't be steak and lobster. Off to Hockey, Lawson was back on the ice tonight, I actually left Heather home and stayed and watched for the practice, even took a little video with the phone. We will see how that worded out later. I would bitch about the confined space they have us watching from but not like it's going to help... I need to remember to bring my new glasses so I can see him way down the far end of the rink... from what I could make out... I think he played in net, he was the only one with out a practice jersey... I don't recall why he never got one of those... Might be because they didn't have any goalie cut jerseys. Afterwards we packed up and head out. In the parking lot one of the board members approached me to let me know I would need to transfer the web site and pages to the company that was previously doing them... I could only assume I wasn't doing the job for free anymore, as a matter of fact I had thought of that weeks ago and had already transferred everything back out of my name, ball was in their court BUT my guess is the other company hasn't done anything with the transfer yet because no one from the group has paid him to do the job yet. No so much on the ball. Made it home, the boy checked in with his cronies online for a bit before heading off to bed.
