Who's a Fat Bastard - My last few moments of being 57.

January 13, 2015

Creepy the Clown

      I was in the office with a cup of Joe, working on yesterday's blog, when I heard the back door open and the familiar sound of rubber boots on the laminate floor. "Papa We're here" Christo yelled as he headed for Nutmeg on the couch. When he got close, she bailed. He's just now becoming co-ordinated enough to pet her properly. But she remembers. Think about Of Mice and Men. 
      Jen has a few days off so no Papa Squatch Dayscare. After she dropped Bella off at school they came for a coffee. I didn't make drippy Joe today. I was by myself so I drink insta Joe. The kettle was still hot. "Can I make you one?" She turned up her nose and got a glass of water. The fruit of my looms, a coffee snob! Oh the shame. 

Creepy the Cat

      We had a great visit talking about work and Sharon who is doing much better. Jen had just dropped Bella off at school and was on her way to do some errands for her Mom. She stopped by to wish me a Happy Birthday eve. She stayed for an hour or so and when she left, I went back to writing my blog. 
      Not for long. "Hola, Como estas?" Christian walked in the back door. He and Adam work for my neighbour Rod laying stone. Today they were working around Rod and Toni's place. Moving a shed and building a fence. I had a nice view from my kitchen window. I didn't want to get too close in case that manual labour thing was catching! "Feliz Cumpleanos Noches" he said "Mucho Gracias" I said, using the two words of Spanish everyone knows. He went back to work and so did I . 
      With my blog posted I had all day to do????? Chef Boy R Lisa was on a three hour push. I had enough of MB Ho yesterday. Most everyone else has a job! Or at the very least a life! I thought about going over to New Westminster to torture my Zodiac Twin I share a birthday with Penny, of Gord and Penny fame, but by the time I thought of it. It was too late.

Whoa, where'd the day go, Dude

       I went to see Mama Lee and the Dentist Van was there. Mama Lee was getting her teeth cleaned. I'm not crazy about this dentist. The work is good but expensive. Mama Lee went to the Dentist at least three times a year. I know, I took her. Never even a cavity. The first three visits with the traveling Tooth Fairy $1000 each visit. 

Tooth Fairy?

No wonder they drive a Mercedes. Mama Lee decided teeth cleanings only. I'll take her to my dentist if she has any issues.
      The Rat dogs headed straight to the dining room, lunch was just wrapping up. Mama Lee was already in her room so I sat with her and tried to teach her how to use her portable DVD player for the one millionth time. Technology is hard for old folks. Really hard when you have Parkinsons. Her shaking causes her to hit the buttons multiple times. Not usually a good thing. I should be more patient with her. She does the best she can.
      After I pried the rat dogs out of the dining room I took them to Como Lake. 

A good thing too. Elvis barely made it to the grass when the Poop Fairy arrived and Nutmeg was right behind him. Once around the lake and home.
      Christian and Adam stopped by after work and we talked basketball for until it was time to pick Bella up from school. I did nothing the rest of the day. I did watch the Canucks lose. Then the lovely Lisa was home. I was on the phone with Uncle Charlie in New Jersey. We were just about done when I handed the phone to the lovely Lisa. That should keep her busy for fifteen minutes or so. The lovely Lisa neglected to  give me my Ho warning. The sink was full of dishes,  my pajamas where still on the bathroom floor and I left the bathroom sink full of shaving hair. I loaded the dishwasher while she was down the hall getting changed. I got to the bathroom just ahead of her and using man logic, I wiped the sink clean with the pajama bottoms I picked up off the floor. Hey, multi-tasking or what? And I could shake them out the bedroom window and get one more night out of them! The lovely Lisa was in bed by 8:00 and I joined her just after 11:00 my last few moments of being 57.

P.S.  I wrote about our New Orleans Superbowl, Mardi Gras, Valentines day trip and I had forgotten that I had covered this very famous New Orleans song I rewrote the lyrics after the first verse to reflect our trip. I heard this song played by someone somewhere every day we were in New Orleans. I came across it when I was looking for pictures for the blog because I only took two pictures all day. I put some pics I like as filler.
