Too warm inside – too cool outside

by

Last week it started getting cool here so we made sure our furnace was turned on. It went on several times last week because it really was cool outside, but the last few days it’s been seasonably warm – not too warm, but pleasant outside. Obviously with it being fairly nice outside our furnace hasn’t come on for a few days, but I’m finding it warm inside the house.

We’ve been opening the windows for a little while during the warmest part of the day, but again, it’s cool enough that you don’t want to keep them open too long and make the furnace come on. However, I’m finding it pretty warm inside the house. Especially at night.

It’s 13 Celsius outside at 3 in the morning. That’s 55 F for those that don’t understand Celsius.

I don’t really feel comfortable opening the doors and windows at this time of night so I’ve turned on all the ceiling fans. They’re helping a bit as they stir the air, but I wish the house were a little cooler.

Maybe I will go upstairs and open a few windows.

Don’t you just hate it when you’re too warm and you can’t do much about it?





Cleared to Travel – Our Passports have Arrived

by

Well I’m happy to say that the passports that we were very slow to apply for arrived yesterday. Just as the Passport Canada office said they would!

We filled out our passport paperwork and handed in our applications at the Passport office on October 2nd. They told us that our Passports should be finished and would be mailed out on October 17th. Yesterday, the 18th, my husband was walking to work and he ran into our mailman, a friend, and our mailman gave them to Chris.

Unfortunately this was a mistake on both their parts. Chris didn’t feel good about leaving the passports that we’ll need for our November trip to Las Vegas in his locker at work, nor did he feel secure about leaving them at the nursing station so he gave them to his boss to keep in her locked office.

Uh oh – she left early and our passports were locked in her office!

Hopefully Chris will have remembered to get a hold of our passports today and brings them home! I want to take a good look at them and make sure that there isn’t a mistake on them or that we don’t have to fill out anything else.

I’m really happy that they arrived so fast though. I mean we’re going away the second week of November and I stupidly waiting to get our passports until the beginning of October? Yeah, I’m lucky!

Oh and when we booked our trip we went through a special discount travel club and got a membership. So now that we have our passports I hope we’ll do a lot more traveling. Lets see Vegas in November, maybe the Caribbean in the late winter or early spring and Branson perhaps sometime in early summer? Yeah that sounds good. Who knows, maybe I can even talk Chris into going to Europe next year?

Ah! I’m going to be a Great Aunt!

I recently learned that my oldest niece is going to have a baby! I’m so excited for her.

I was talking with my brother on the phone the other night and he was telling me all about his daughter and how she was doing and then added that his wife was really excited.

Huh? Sounds like my brother is too if you ask me.

We haven’t had a young baby in the family for quite a while. I’m still working on producing one myself … Ha now won’t that be funny if I ever do manage to get pregnant? My great niece or nephew will be older than their 2nd cousin? Sounds like the way I grew up since I was the last of a long line of kids and my parents had me when they were older.

I’ve already been thinking of what to get my niece and new niece or nephew when the baby arrives. Of course some plush animals are a must. Funny, I just remembered that when my niece was born the plush animal that I bought her turned out to be her favorite for many years. I wonder if I can do it again with her child?

The baby is due in February so I have some time to find just the right kind of gifts. Any ideas? I haven’t purchased anything for a new mother and new born for a while. What’s hot right now? Hmmm I wonder if she’d like one of those baby slings … hmmm

Mailbox tipping teens

by

Over the weekend when the weather was unusually warm and muggy here for October I was up late and I happened to hear some noise outside on the street.

There was a group of teenagers going by and they looked like they were looking to cause trouble. Twice this past summer someone has knocked over the large postal drop off mailboxes across the street. Worst of all, each time it’s been in the middle of the night and man are those things loud when they crash to the ground.

I have no proof of course, but I suspect that the mailbox tippings were caused by teenagers looking for some fun.

Oh I know, knocking over a large mailbox doesn’t cause any permanent harm, but I do hope that one day when those kids have their own homes someone does that in their neighborhood so that they realize how loud and jarring the sound really is! It’s like a car crash, maybe even louder!

Are all men like my husband?

by

I don’t understand my husband sometimes.

There’s just the two of us living in this house. We have three bedrooms upstairs. We only use one of them. Well for the most part we only use the master bedroom. We do keep some things in the closets and dressers in the spare rooms since this is a small house – we need all the room we can get for our stuff.

Lately my husband has taken to leaving things in the two spare bedrooms.

He’s always kept his guitars in what I call the middle bedroom. They were tucked away under the bed so that was fine. The room still looked like a bedroom.

He’s been working on his music lately though so not just one but FIVE guitars are spread throughout the house. One in the living room, two in the middle bedroom and two in the smallest spare bedroom.

Not only that. Sometimes when we’ve done the laundry, but haven’t had time to put it all away we’ll put the laundry basket on the bed in the middle bedroom. Well if my husband gets into the clothes before they are put away he ends up spreading clothes throughout all three bedrooms. He’ll just change in whatever room he’s in.

You see he wears jeans or shorts to work depending on the time of year, and when he gets to work he changes into surgical scrubs since he works in the OR recovery room. He often changes again when he gets home. If he was in pants he prefers to change into shorts for the evening, and being a guy the shorts he wore the evening before are fine to wear again that night and the next and so on.

So that’s how clothes end up lying around in various rooms.

It’s not just clothes and guitars either. It’s his watch, his cufflinks and anything else he carries upstairs that he can’t bother to carry a little further down the hall to our room.

Are all men like this?
