Plague with incompetents!
I am plague with incompetents all around me! Someone at the gvnt called to say that they have been trying to reach one of my referees since the 24th of Sept., i.e. 5 days after I had done the tests, which is very fast for them. I called them and asked if he could send them a letter, if it is so...

Old age and stubborness
I went to see Freeman at the hospital yesterday afternoon. He was wandering why I haven't been there earlier. I tried to explain that I was very busy with family and friends coming (and some staying) over the weekend but I'm not sure he registered this info. On the other hand, with somebody there to...

Moving on and voting
We saw Freeman's brother yesterday before he left for town. He should be back today or tomorrow. Or so, he said. He is NOT too reliable. He told us that Freeman was going to have some tests done at another hospital sometime this week. And that then, it is almost certain that he will be placed in a...

Emergency on Friday
Sorry I didn't write for a few days: too busy. I had to call in the ambulance for Freeman on Friday. I talked with his nurse and she told me that the consign from his doc. was to call the ambulance if he didn't feel good. So, I did. He called me on Friday at around 1pm complaining of having pain...

Driving in old age to NOT be alone
And so, I went to see my old neighbour yesterday. With the cooked chook and veggies and his groceries. To find that his car was gone and the door, incredibly, locked! He had forgotten our Lunch "date" and had gone to buy himself a lunch and some groceries! I had a good long talk with another...

Entrapment
How I ever agreed to this is a real mystery to me! I had just put three little chocolate banana breads (gluten free, mind you!) in the oven to bake when my oldest neighbour arrived. He is my oldest neighbour because he is 80 something. He comes visit regularly but always with his car because he can...

It's here! At long last!
They just left! My Giant's here! After all these long months of separation, we are finally back together! And it's a beautiful day outside. I might just leave all the stuff un-pack and go in the sun on my Giant of a bike! And contrary to the woman I talked to at the phone, these delivery guys were...

My Giant and Wake Net: high speed technology
The moving company has called: they are supposed to deliver our stuff tomorrow between 8am and noon! I sure hope so! I might even be able to do a bit of riding on the Giant before the frost! And it seems that my Mann would not really have had to go to the company afterwards: all he had to do was...

Small Baby-Boom?
We've got great news: one of my sister is pregnant again! It seems that there is a small baby-boom happening in Québec province: of all the "extra" (more than the previous year) baby born in 2007, half where in Québec! And I think that it can be proven by just walking around; there are babies...

A Big Surprise!
I've got quite a surprise yesterday! It was about 1:30pm when I got a collect call from my Mann; he was in Iqualuit and about to take a plane for Ottawa! I was so surprise that I couldn't find anything to say! The plane was supposed to get here at 5pm, but of course it was delayed until 6pm. Never...
