Yesterday

Well, not quite the day we had planned, but a good day, none the less.  We found out that the plumber wouldn't be able to be here until this morning ( he's here now).  But David has a sore thumb, and it's been getting steadily worse for the past two weeks, so we took him into Urgent care at Victoria Hospital.  This is the only Urgent Care in the city now, and this was our first visit.  I had been told in the past, that one wants to get there early in the day.  That around noon people start coming out of the woodwork.  That's exactly how it went.  The waiting area there is huge, and there were fewer than 10 people when we got there just before 11:00.  When we left at about 2:00 there must have been more than 50 people waiting.  Considering that there were almost 30 treatment cubicles in the back, it appeared very busy.  Glad we got out when we did.

We had saved our money, and had planned to head out to the casino near Grand Beach, for the day.  Needless to say, we ended up at Regent for supper.  There was a rib buffet, and I enjoyed three different types of ribs, and a salad.  There was also some very nice roast beef that David appeared to enjoy.

At this point we have nothing more planned for the next few days.  It's just too cold.  This is the first time I can remember having our windows frozen over, since we moved into this house.  David lowered the humidity, on the furnace, and that helped a bit, but the ice is still there.  I seem to have developed a bit of a cold.  First one in ages.  So staying inside just might be a good idea.

On Monday, we had divided up the left over turkey with Loren and Amber.  I had planned to make some turkey pot pies, and had bought all the supplies.  But it's starting to look as though there won't be enough turkey, as we're been nibbling on it for lunches etc.  Now we're joking about having to cook another turkey.

Tuesday, I took myself to Micheal's, and bought scrap booking paper at $0.20/sheet, instead of the regular price of $0.95/sheet.  I've started making fabric paper to turn into book marks.  I need some bookmarks for Feb 4th, to take into the gift shop in Selkirk.  Messy, but sort of fun.
