Good Morning and Welcome to Tuesday the 5th day of February, 2019.
I forgot to wish my niece “M” a very Happy 22nd Birthday for yesterday, February 4th.
We hope that you had a magical day.
Welcome back to the deep freeze.
Appears this may last for several days.
We folks that work inside warm buildings are grateful and we think of those souls that work outside so that we may work inside in the warmth.
From Farmers to Constructions to Oil Rig Workers and everything in between, thank you.
Thank you to my sister for reminding me of those who work outside.
Well two more sleeps until Mr. Alvin’s surgery.
I know that it will all go well.
But still it is surgery on my boy.
Positive thoughts.
I am so grateful to my friend and neighbour for giving me rides to work yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Just catching the bus home is okay.
I am very blessed.
Yesterday the bus driver called ahead when we were at West Edmonton Mall asking 119/117 to please wait for passengers.
The 119 was still there when we arrived (very late) and I would imagine it was late as well.
A young passenger and myself hoped off the bus ahead of the others and ran to the 119, yes, I ran.
Just as we were arriving at the 119 he started to pull away …. we both waved.
He pulled over and we got onto the bus.
I could not believe after all of that, he pulled away as we ran to the bus in full view of the driver.
What a guy.
But happy that in the end he did pull over.
Still was 20 minutes late getting home but at least I did not have to wait likely another 20 minutes for the next bus.
Felt blessed at that moment.
Well getting close to time to leave the house.
Still have to do the poop pickup before I leave.
Poor Alvin having to go outside in this bitterly cold weather.
I will say this …. he does not stay out long …. does his thing and back into the house.
I wait right at the back door for him, just in case I need to go and help him.
Emergency kits in the vehicle.
Layers while outside.
Pull those big WARM boots out of the closet – you are not making a fashion statement this week in most part of CANADA.
You just want to stay warm and retain all your digits and your life.
Be kind to your pets.
They are living breathing animals such as we, don’t leave them outside in these frigid temperatures.
Doesn’t matter …. just bring them into the house.
Watch the kiddos for signs of frostbite.
Drive them to school.
Or maybe keep them home (most of the buses are cancelled anyway).
Happy Tuesday.
Special Hello to: my family and friends. Keep warm…..
Always, Carol & Alvin
