I think I found some pest “evidence” this morning in my laundry room. It looks to be a pretty big one too – judging by the “evidence”. I guess it’s either a mouse or maybe Jason let his rabbit play around downstairs while he did his laundry, somehow I don’t think that’s it. Although maybe it’s just leftover from before I had the house and it got revealed from moving the laundry machine and dryer around. They did have a pet porcupine here and if I had to guess, I would say it definitely looked like porcupine droppings.
Swimming in the River Near Indian Battle Park
Instead of going to Waterton on Sunday, Anna-Maria, Zee, Sophie (Anna’s dog), and I went down to Indian Battle Park. We had a fire and swam in the river. Afterwards we roasted smokies and marshmallows over the fire. It was a really good day – even though it did start to rain. Even when it rained, it wasn’t that cold – for me at least, and then when the rain stopped it got nice and hot out. I also decided that I want to take Anna-Maria kayaking down the river and get out in Coaldale. I just need to find someone to pick us up. Maybe Dad will bring his truck sometime and we can meet-up at the Nolan Bridge outside of Coaldale.
Zee and the Lawyer
Anna’s roommate had to go see a lawyer yesterday. She was really surprised that he had a lunch hour from 11:00 to 2:30. How does that fit in with normal society? That’s beside the point. She was there to get a will notarized and when it came time to pay she discovered that the lawyer’s office didn’t take visa or interact as a form of payment. So she explained that she didn’t have any cash and would have to run over to the 7-11 to get some. She said it never even crossed her mind to run out on the bill, but when she came back the lawyer exclaimed, “Oh you’ve just restored my faith in humanity.” Zee then quipped back, “Are you projecting?”
Secret to Immortality May Have Been Discovered
Here is just a quick link about a scientific discovery of the secret to keeping cells from aging.
Hi Ho Hi Ho – It’s off to work I go
Here I go to my first day of doing telephone surveys. I hope it’s not as bad as it has been growing to be in my mind.
Red Rock Canyon
I found out the other day that Anna-Maria and her roommate Zee have never been to Red Rock Canyon before. Well it’s high time they went, so we are going there today. Although the day is going to be pretty much over by the time we get out of here, plus we need to be back so Anna can finish her studying. She has some big test tomorrow and needs to study like a mad woman. Mad like crazy, not mad like I’m so ticked off I have all this studying to do.
Jeff Milner the Swim Coach
All I can say about coaching yesterday was that it was Easy – Capital E. Lisa prepared a lesson plan for me and as my luck would have it, only two kids showed up. I was teaching 8 year olds, and the other girl that was supposed to coach the 7 year olds left because nobody from her class showed up on time but one girl did come late and I took her into my class. I should try and get a job coaching all the time.
Anna-Maria’s Trip to Medicine Hat
Anna went to Medicine Hat yesterday for her sister’s birthday party. I’m not exactly sure, but her brother Joshua’s birthday is also coming right up so they might have had his party this weekend too. I know Anna was buying presents for both of them. Anyway she’s almost back at home now so I’m going to run. I’ll try and scrounge up something interesting to do tonight so that I’ll have something more interesting to blog about tomorrow.
Roommate Update
The other day at his work, my roommate cut his hand and had to go to the hospital. He had three stitches and a week off work – paid. He said he was pretty happy about getting a paid vacation, but unfortunately for him he just got diagnosed with Strep throat so it looks like he’s going to be sick during the time that he is off. Life’s like that sometimes; maybe it’s karma?
Lawnmower If You’re Reading This, Please Come Home
I went to the police station and filed a report. It looks like the purpose of the report is just so that in the event that I find the mower in a pawn shop or second hand store I can say, “Um hey! That’s my mower and I have this peice of paper as proof”. I went around to pawn shops this morning and came up empty handed. As far as paying with a credit card and having some sort of theft protection goes, I used my Sears card which I found out does not give you any kind of insurance on your purchase. I only even used it to get the points so I wouldn’t have paid with my visa anyway. Maybe I should start… Well, I suppose the sooner I forget about it the sooner I can stop feeling bad about it. As I explained to Anna-Maria, it could have been a lot worse – like they could have actually robbed something from inside the house or perhaps a car accident or something. You’ve got to keep it in perspective, at least nobody died.
