2 days into our fight

I feel we're in the eye of the hurricane moment. Or the pause before the climax of the story. I don't know why she's behaving this way. It's not like I did anything bad. Besides, I don't know how long I'm going to remain in AASR. 

The building they are in has been sold. AASR etc, could remain in the building as new ownership might just keep it as is. Or maybe new ownership wants to demo the building, rezone the land for housing. Where would AASR go? If it's one of the 3 lodges in the city, fine. I might stay. If they decide to go to a knew location, I'm gone. If it's the status quo I might just kick the tires one section/year, see how it goes and my place in AASR. All kinds of options here. In the end I might just stick with my craft lodge and call it a day. I don't know yet. 

The other option and if this defines our marriage (I don't see that happening,) where I'm living they have a path (for low income seniors like me) with limited mobility and in bad shape (again like me) to move into a lodge set up 3 meal/day. Still independant living and I can have $300/month spending, I'd sign a "no fault divorce" in a flash. Especially if the transition was easy. I'd hate to lose Anne but the above would be a worst case scenario. Maybe I'm getting to personal here, IDK. But nobody reads this anyway. Anyway, that's all for now.

Right now Anne is all sour and bitter at me

because I joined Scottish Rite Masonry, and after the initial degrees, I'm out 3 nights in a month. AASR will get me my 32°. Right now I'm public enemy no.1 for Anne. It's not like I'm out gambling or in the bar a couple times/week or chasing after women. This will blow over soon. She's just pissed because I was out Friday and now out last night at prictice. Half the time she's out shopping or sleeping. 

I think today or tomorrow, I'm out to get my RSV shot and a haircut and maybe a bite to eat at the food court, and home. It'll be one of these days. Tonight is the fallout of Saturday's Royal Rumble Anyway, that's all for now.

Welcome to February

Which I call "Gateway to Spring." There's a phrase that rolls off the tip of your tounge. Spring is just around the corner.

I was in bed about an hour ago, but I have sleep dissorders. Mainly restless legs syndrome, and possibly diebetes and anxiety. leading to all of the above. I thought the glass of beer I had earlier would help. Anne made me a PBJ sammy, and some warm milk, might help me sleep better. I have lodge practice tonight but I'm not involved in anything significant. My sleep issues have nothing to do with that. 


I really enjoyed Royal Rumble yesterday. It was a 4 hour show. I was hoping that Gunther would have won but Roman Reigns shared the spotlight with Gunther at the end. Oba Femi, looked good. I'm glad Trix Williams was ousted. Anyway, that's all for now. Lets try getting back to sleep.

My Lodge brother

picked me up at the right time, just as it started to rain. X and I went through our lodge together back in 2002. We had 12 IPM's at "Homefire Grill." The fellowship was good. Great fellowship. I had the cheese burger.  They cut it in half for me. It was very tastey. I could only eat half of it. I got a take out box for the other half.  Great fellowship. It was raining. We were there for a good 2 hours. 


Larvae and snow fell together in the Eifel Mountains in Germany on this date in 1847. 30 years ago, Comet Hyakutake was discovered and dubbed The Great Comet of 1996 due to its close passage.

On tap for today is WWE's Royal Rumble on @ 11am Should be a good time. After that it's the Oilers/Wild game. on @ 8pm. I'm looking forward to both events. Anyway, that's all for now.

Our IPM dinner

is @ 6pm in an undisclosed venue. For obvious reasons😎 I'll probably just order a desert because this place is pretty pricey.


San Diego teen Brenda Ann Spencer explained why she sprayed bullets on classmates on this day in 1979: 'I don't like Mondays.' This date also saw Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven published under a pseudonym in the New York Evening Mirror (1845).

I have a ride to our IPM dinner and back tonight. My mens spiritual breakfast outing Saturday is early in the morning and a Tims detour at Corona. I need to take a bus to the train and transfer onto another train to Clareview and then a cab. There is also a risk of freezing rain Saturday overnight. Plus I have Lodge practice Sunday. I fit wasn't for the freezing rain and Lodge practice, I'd do the breakfast. I dont mind the 3 events in one day, it's just the early morning one, that compromises everything. Something has got to give. Sorry BoB. Anyway, that's all for now.

I woke up about 9am,

had my coffee, and doing something online, waiting for disability trust solutions to call. Sure enough they did. I told them to place my phone number on their DNC, (Do not call) list, and hung up. I got anothercall from that same company, telling them the same thing. I even blocked their email as well. Hopefully, they comply with this. 

Basically all afternoon, I was on youtube doing my steps, that sort of thing. I had some lunch about noon. More You Tube stuff. About 4pm hearing Anne somewhat awake. I decided to go back to bed for a nap. Anne hour later I woke up at 4pm, feeling good. Anne made served me up some raviloli and a cheese bun. She's off to Costco.

About November last year, I arranged to have my AADL file moved from Healthcare sollutions to the Medi Shop located just over here West of the Value Villiage. I had arranged them to have my compression stockings to pick up at the Medi Shop location😀This makes more sense then traveling to Northgate. That was until I realized that Healthcare Solutions can deliver, and they did that one time. Did I make a mistake with this? Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on at the

moment. 


Earlier today, I received a call from a Disability Tax Credit advocacy group out of Toronto. They said they could help me apply for the Disability Tax Credit. I had a bad feeling about how all of this would turn out, so I looked up “Disability Trust.” They seemed legitimate, with an office in Toronto. They told me I would need my 2024 Notice of Assessment, but I couldn’t find it. When I do find it, I would also need to add Disability Trust to my CRA file by speaking with a CRA agent and getting my Line 15000 information. 


I told them I would do that in the morning. I also mentioned that our family doctor retired two years ago. The lady said that wasn’t necessary, so I agreed to call CRA in the morning — though I still had a bad feeling about it. Later on, I received a follow-up email saying I would need confirmation from a doctor about my scoliosis, probably an X-ray. I explained again that I don’t have a family doctor. That confirmed the bad feeling I had earlier. Because of that, there’s no point in calling CRA in the morning. 

If I have to go through several hoops to get this done, I'm just going to abandon this whole enterprise. I found out through Reddit, that this is a scam. Anyway, that's all for now.
