Yesterday

I left out of here shortly before noon for my 1-8pm shift. Weather wise it was just recovering from a rain earlier in the morning. Apparently the City had all of it’s attractions available free for the public yesterday. I gave a nod to Edmonton Fan Expo as the train went by Rexall. I got into the office thinking I’d like to opt out of the full shift. I began to get into it and felt a bit better. I began to follow the Riders/Al’s game. By 5:30pm I had my half hour and a chicken TV dinner, which was surprisingly tasty. Al’s beet out the Riders 17-12! I had 2 hours to go and I worked that out ok. Despite all of that, I was feeling ok. In fact, not to bad. I even got my train on time at Corona. I even got inside at 8:30pm!

Anne was “face timing” her sister when I walked in and had a small chat. I said something on how I’m considering the iTouch 4th Gen in November. Anne got all defensive but Donna stool up for me.

Anne made us our Sunday brunch latter and we watched the news and just before local news our other Budgie, Sugar passed away.  She’s been looking listless lately and still. When I called Anne about 5pm she was saying Sugar was feeling a lot better. Then Anne noticed Sugar not moving and that’s when she said she died. She took it hard. Me, not as much because I don’t know how many birds over the last 3 years we lost. Beaker is our last. So as sad as it’s worth mentioning, I’m not feeling good about her loss. I feel more bad for Anne then the bird. Sugar of course yes, but more for Anne. No More birds! Famous last words, and I’m sure if we get another one, it’s fate will meet more or less the same way.

Well, that’s September. It’s been rough on me hours wise and losing pet’s wise and thank God that’s over with. I had a nice healthy stash in August and that was gone over night.

I’ve got a relatively easy week hour wise (not that I like it that way) Thursday I’m paying another visit to Service Canada and I’m going to see about some career counseling and get myself a second job or a better paying job. As much as I like the job, I can’t live on money like this. I’ll either have too get another part time job or another first job. Something has to give. I might get my cpp November 1st which will help, a bit. Anyway, that’s all for now.
