Way hey and away we go donkey riding

Awake. It feels like I slept in my left eye. It hurts a little to blink, like not hurt hurt, but hurt. Yanno?

And sometime today, I’ll be posting pictures of my bookcase, in hopes that You, the readers will help me choose the next book to review, and talk about in the Book Club.

But right now, it’s coffee time. Please, excuse me for a moment. Mm, kaffee.

It’s early, and I can’t think of anything else to write this morning. Later, I’ll post something else. Happy Thursyay!

With the furies breathing down your neck

My mom and dad had to go to another province for some tractor parts, so I’m here babysitting my gramma. I just popped out to grab the mail, and now I’m back where it’s warm.

I also brought in some contraband.

We have a provincial election on the 26th of this month, and as Crystal can corroborate, my mom is a staunch conservative. STAUNCH. from what Crystal says, every second or third post on Facebook is about how the liberal government are a joke, the Prime Minister is an idiot, and so on and so forth.

I am not a conservative. I’m not going to vote for them, even though they’re the favourites to win. It’s a lot more difficult to figure out who to vote for here. I think there’s 4 or 5 different parties to choose from.

I’m voting for these guys. Part of their platform is to raise the minimum wage to $15. This province has the lowest minimum wage in the country.

For my American brothers and sisters – VOTE

And love is only one fine star away

Well we’re almost there! What day is it? That’s right, it’s HUMP DAY! I woke up this morning, and the snow is still on the ground. I was hoping it was a fever dream or something. But, alas (earwax), it was not.

I just heard a riveting story on how my grandmother found a pair of gloves on the sidewalk in front of her retirement condo, and put up notices and talked to just about everyone in the building, and no one said they lost a pair. So she kept them. And still has them. And, fun fact, is wearing them today.

Her and my mom are currently at the medical clinic for them to get some blood drawn I think. They’ll be back in about a half hour. But until then, sweet silence. Just me, my coffee, and the local morning news.

I’m in the final stretch of The Historian. It’s getting good, and there’s a chance that I won’t make the third Book Club, because I’ll be done. I think I have about 250 pages left.

When I wake up in my makeup, it’s too early for that dress

Hap hap happy Tuesday. I barely heard my alarm this morning. It had been going off for a minute when I thought I heard something, and rolled over.

It’s gray out there, and like I said the snow is starting to stick. At least on the trucks in the driveway. I dislike winter, and I have a love/hate relationship with the snow.

Coffee should be ready to consume now.

And as far as I know there’s no plans for anything here at Shady Acres – I’ll probably pop over to the second hand store when it opens. If it hasn’t gotten any warmer, I’ll take the truck.

Current temp: -3c with the wind it feels like -9. Our high today is -1.
