I started installing Omnisphere 3

about an hour ago. It's a massive library, and my internet connection isn't that great, which doesn't help. Also, my fire wall might be snagging it as well. I'm going to give it until, 5am, and, go to bed. I'll let it run in the mean time.

Tnight, I'm off to Chapter. We're confering  a degree. Three guys coming in. Not sure if I'll get a ride home, but I might just take a cab home if Perry doesn't offer me. Either way I'm good.

Monday, Anne & I are going to the Registry. In my case its so I can have the "proper ID." Being a resident here is good enough I supose. But its good to have just in case. Plus we can go to DQ across the street. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not a bad day yesterday.

I didn't do much today. Mostly You Tube stuff. 

It was Glenn that told me (before I got to Chapter) he did the music off his phone. For some reason I had it in my head, "the only way this would work for me is with my iPad." Well, I only had the phone for 2 years now, and lugging the iPad with the keyboard is heavy. Plus the speaker. My phone recognizes the bluetooth speaker. A.U.M. (Audio Unit Mixer) is installed and even Audio Share. Both apps work hand in hand. The only snag is this iPhone needs a lightning adapter.

 It's not USB C. But Amazon has them availible. I'd rather carry my iPhone/speaker with me, rather then my heavy iPad pro. I'll bring my iPad Thursday, in case there is a snag some where. I need a lightning male and USB A female. so I can transfer files. 

Frances, or Mary want to leave a comment, on my Blog, I'll be able to respond. Anyway, that's all for now. 

My bus to Capalino

mall around 11am was slow. I decided if I wanted to go to getmy business done at Long & McQuade, (LM) set up the payment plan, auto pay etc, could take time. I ordered a Co-op taxi instead. I was certain the fare was about $15-$20. What with the LRT shut down from Churchill, a cab made the most sense.

As my cab headed North along Wayne Gretzky drive, the traffic to the Edmonton sc-fi Expo was heavy. My fare to LM was $17. I gave an undiscoosed $ tip. When I go there the sign on LM wall said Sunday 12-5pm. Yeesh. I had a bit of a wait, and a small Window 12-1pm

I was surprised to learn that LM does not open accounts on software. There goes the other installment. $317. Oh well, at least I don't have a monthly bill. I caught another cab from LM to Highlands Hall for Chapter Practice. I was able to get a ride back. Otherwise instead of about 3pm, it'd be ~ 5pm. This was an expensive month. I think if I knew I could not have got Omnisphere 3 on LM's credit plan, I probably never would have bought it. Ah well, learn and live. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Our annual sci-fi genre

Edmonton Expo is underway. I don't recognize any writers or artists. Would be nice to have someone like Brandon Sanderson or Kelley Armstrong, just to name a few. Armstron was here in 2019. I'd love to go just to be part of the vibe, but health wise I just couldn't manage it.  Most likely my friend Ellen is at the Edmonton Expo this weekend.

My commute to BoB is a no show this morning due to LRT closures. The Capital line is fully closed between Churchill and Clareview all weekend for track renovations at Coliseum station. Unlike previous weekends where one track remained operational, they are relying entirely on replacement buses all weekend. 

My weekend isn't a complete loss though as the Elks are in Toronto playing against the Argos. The Oilers play in Winnipeg but that's only on Oilers+ I'm not paying $10 to watch a couple of preseason games. Anyway, that's all for now.

Our outing at Rickies Mill

Creek was good. Not a fan of their breakfast sausages, but it was a good outing. 

I got 2 new meds from our new Doctor yesterday. I wanted to get something for a yeast infection I have in the groin area. Then, a muscle relaxant for my restless leg syndrom RLS. For RLS I got something called Cyclobenzaprine. 42 pills. The instructions on this med is to take half a tab then the other half and a full one. I decided to take a full one an hour before, a banana, a muffin. By 5am I was tired enough

for sleep. The Cyclobenzaprine felt more like a Melatonin then a muscle relaxant. I got a good 6 hours of sleep after that but felt drowsy even up to an hour later. The other med I got was for the Yeast infection. Ketoderm. Before bed I applied that to the infected area. This morning, it seemed to work. Both meds were a total of $13.😮

I went and ordered Omnisphere 3 about an hour ago and paid for half of it over the phone. When I'm in the store, Saturday, I'll put the balance on my account. Should bring the  payments down to about $25-$30/month. Easy. Anyway, that's all for now.

This afternoon, we're

at a near by undisclosed medical clinic. Its baskically a meet and great. I'm hoping I can get get 3 perscriptions, assuming they are covered under alberta seniors. 

After that we're heading over to Rickies to get a bite to eat for our monthly outing. We haven't been at this location

since last October when we were suggested to share a "Grand slam" breakfast. My hashbrowns were uncooked both times.

The Oilers played Calgary for the first of I think its 3 pre season games. Oilers won 6-1. I don't think it was televised on Sports net. I think this could be the last season here for Conor McDavid. Anyway, that's all for now.

I hope my new banner

Isn't to crowded. Its to reflect most aspects of my life. #1 outside of my life is Anne of course. I think it looks a bit cleaner. 

Not much going on this week. We have our Doctors visit on Tuesday, and I hope I can get a perscription for my jock itch a muscle relaxant. With my health number, the Doctor will be able to see the results of my most recent X-ray, and my A1C done from April. I'm also going to call set up Home care and this morning get Omnisphere 3 set up to pick up after FCC Saturday morning. 

Also, I think our last work project was my last project with the company. My last job, period. Officially to myself, I resigned from the work place. If a new project makes itself availble, I'll pass long enough for the staff party to make it official. Anyway, that's all for now.
