WHERE did the time go???
I can’t believe it’s been almost a MONTH since my last livejournal rambling!
Since Chocoholic is out of town, I find myself with an apparent abundance of time to do stuff. Stuff like sort through, organize, box up, and think about getting rid of junk. And stuff like making a journal entry.
So what’s been happening, you ask? Go ahead, I dare you! 8-)
Let’s see…
- Chocoholic‘s house sold for 98% of asking price in just 10 days. While that’s certainly not a record for house sales, nor necessarily what she was hoping to get for it, she is nonetheless happy that it is done.
- Well, mostly done. There seems to be a “little problem” with regards to her previous husband, and the fact that her lawyer didn’t do the job he was overpaid for, and so there’s this thing called a “matrimonial lien” still outstanding on the house, even though it was supposed to have been removed a few years ago when the separation agreement was drawn up and signed.
- The drains at Xoozland are clear and running smoothly again.
- Three weekends ago (July 18-20), tammy2tall and I went on our Annual Biking Holiday. Silly us! We decided to check out the countryside around Peterborough and Omemee (where Neil Young grew up)! What we didn’t know was just how HILLY the countryside around Peterborough and Omemee really is! Even the CAR had trouble negotiating some of those hills! To make matters more complicated, we decided to CAMP instead of staying in B&Bs (I guess there weren’t any to be had), so we had all the extra camping gear to haul, too. In the end, we had a marvelous time together CAR CAMPING! We stayed one night in Serpent Mounds park, and the other at Emily Provincial Park.
- Two weekends ago (July 26-29), Chocoholic and I went on a “Moving Water Canoe” course. It turned out to be a “WHITE WATER Canoe” course!!! It was just a little more intense than we had expected from the description of the program. I still have bruises on my bruises. My record is three-for-three as far as white water goes. I’ve been white water rafting twice before and every time, I’ve ended up in the drink OUTSIDE the boat! On this past weekend, I dumped twice on Saturday, three times on Sunday, and twice more on Monday morning. The last time on Sunday was quite treacherous, and could have been disastrous. Fortunately, I survived to tell the tale.
- Chocoholic left for Winnipeg this morning, to visit with her Mom and family before the unveiling on Sunday. I’ll be flying out on Friday to join her. It’s not a fun occasion, but we’re going to TRY to make a BIT of a holiday of the weekend.
And that is really about it. At least for now.
