As they say April showers bring May flowers. Boy what a diference a day makes. Yesterday was so warm and sunny and today it's raining. Don't get me wrong we need the rain. And it will wash away all the dirt from the old snow. But it's cold! I had to turn the furnace on again as it was quite chilly when I woke up this morning.
After my marathon day yesterday, of playing with the Loftonians and Silkies I was pooped and slept very well thank you very much. I was on my feet for at least 10 hours except for the 5 minute drive to Walmart. I even ate my pizza supper standing up as I was moving dolls between bites. My feet didn't get sore but my knees sure did. But I felt good and as I said above I slept well.
I called the Heart and Stroke lottery people to find out the status of our prizes, as I know that will be the first thing Jack asks me when he gets home later today. Anyway the items were packed last week and have been shipped out. So hopefully I will have a new camera this week. Will probably take me a month to figure out how to use it LOL Of course today's cameras are much easier and it's more press and click. I don't think I've used my SLR camera since digis came out. And I miss having control over my picture taking, then again my eyesight is not as good as it used to be so it's probably just as well I let the camera do the focusing for me *grin*
My horoscope (which I don't read much) told me I was going to have a busy week and I think it will be so, what with the new Ellowynes coming, my lottery prizes and on Friday my granddaughter Erika is coming back for the weekend. Next week Jack goes for his cataract surgery. He will be blind for a day apparently and you can't sleep on your side and can't bend over or lift anything for weeks. I guess the blood would rush to your head and pop out the stitches and lens. It's like getting a permanent contact lens in your eye. They laser out the old one and insert a new. Jack's oldest son had the surgery in his early 40's. Kinda young for that but I guess his eyes were really bad.
Squirty was fascinated with the rain and sat there wondering why the drops disappeared. Snow was so new to her too and she used to sit at the window and try and catch the snowflakes. But she can't do that with the rain. She looked up at me rather quizzically wondering why this was so. She is tired now and sleeping in my lazy boy chair. I have a soft cushion for her on it and she likes to sleep there often now. Of course I have another cushion for her on the bed down here beside me and she usually is here sleeping while I am on the computer. But it's a bit damp down here today. I shall have to turn on the baseboard heater on the wall behind me. Because this room is closed off from the rest of the basement (Dolton) it has no heat ducts from the furnace and they had installed a baseboard heater on the wall. Like I did back in Mississauga, all the doors are taken off the rooms down here. I hate doors (and curtains for that matter). So they were removed and stored. They always get in the way and I never close them anyway. The doors on the main floor of the house are still intact...so far LOL But I have no curtains in this house at all. Every window has blinds and they were all new when we bought the place. Curtains are just dust collectors anyway. I did have curtains in Mississauga but they were the insulated ones as the back walls in that place faced north and were always cold or hot in the summer. The bottoms were always covered in cat hair and were a real pain to clean. I have some lovely sheers from the house I grew up in but I dare not hang them with cats around. I've been carting them with me for almost 30 years now, maybe it's time I let them go.
So with it being miserable out there today, that means it's gonna be a Dolton Day. I feel well rested enough now and able to tackle down here again. I have to find my wall brackets that are still packed so Jack can install the shelves he cut for me on Friday or was it Saturday. I have no idea most of the time what day it is anymore. The bank is open 7 days a week now and Walmart til 11 p.m. everynight so there is no need to care what day it is. LOL Anyway I am rambling here so that means I've actually run out of things to talk about.
Oh I almost forgot I bought a new Barbie yesterday at Walmart. She's called Movie Star Barbie and I have named her Amanda-Lynn. That makes the Dolton population 2672 and I have changed my lottery tickets accordingly. Okay it's time to play. Have a great soggy Monday everyone.
