It's been busy, at work & at home. Work is work...busiest week of the year for me, so I just have to suck it up. And put in o/t that I can take off at a later time, when I have time.
Had tonnes of obligations the last little while, but all done now. My dear Aunt passed away Jan 24, may she rest in peace. You're diagnosed with cancer one day and 24 days later you die...life is short. Plan for tomorrow but live for today.
Toyota update - taking my Corolla in on Saturday for 'inspection'. David told me that yes, my car was affected, I have one of the wonky accelerator pedals. But then he said that it might not be a problem in the end, as only 3% of these wonky pedals were purchased from that bad factory in Japan. And yet...the news media will have you believe that things are dire...that this may be more than a pedal problem...it may be the car's electronics, the COMPUTER, the very heart of the vehicle. And if that's the case, we're all fucked. Toyota and all us car owners whose vehicles will be rendered worthless. Toyota will go belly up paying us out (I've only owned my car 5 months!) and we'll be driving pieces of shit, unless we get enough money to buy another, decent car. GRRRRRRR!!! I hate this. Even if they fix the pedal, can I trust the car? Can I feel safe taking granddotter S anywhere with me? Or going to the mountains? Wouldn't that be fun to start careening out of control just at a critical moment in Golden, BC. Yah...f*in fun. I just don't know and I hate this, but I think I already established that.
Granddotter S - so cute, so fun, so charming, so adorable!!! She is saying tonnes of words now and she calls me...Ganny!!!!! I LOVE IT. I must post pictures, but not right now. Anyway, she was over for SuperBowl and discovered dip, or "deep" as she says. And now she has to have deep with everything...all her food, she don't care, she dips it all in there. SO SWEET, I never thought a granddotter could be so precious...and so fun...and so incredibly loved. And her grandpa (Papa) thinks the world of her too, by the way.
She and I and her Mom went shopping on Saturday and she is getting So much better at shopping...actually having a bit of fun. We went for lunch to Applebees and she was well-behaved, charming and ate most of her dip, some celery, but not much else. But she had snacked on Goldfish and a cookie earlier, so prolly wasn't all that hungry.
Anyway, here's a cartoon about the birds and the bees:
too cute...i love cheezburger.
Anywho, I'm done like dinner, so poke me with a fork.
Bye, y'all
