Where did I leave off? The child is still in the process of moving, which seems to be taking way too long. I would pack up some stuff in bags for her, but she already stole most of my bags.
The temperature went up to 78 degrees one day this week, and tonight's low is 34. It has been a typical spring ride, weather-wise. I just hope Mother Nature soon remembers how to make warmth in this part of the country. We get so little of it, so she doesn't get enough practice.
The computer is still ill. The child left me in a rotten mood about the time it broke, so I knew calling Dell and the cable company would not happen right away. I needed to be able to be civil to get what I need done. Then it got hot out, and I was too happy to call. Now I just need to do it.
I need it fixed so I can take it with me to Toronto and post daily pictures of my travels there, assuming I survive the bridge and the train. I have no fear of the train, other than being shaken to death, lol. I will be up all night before I go, so hopefully I will sleep on the train anyway.
Everyone seems to love WalMart so I made my first foray into one last night. I won't be rushing back there again. I felt like I was in a building full of four-year-olds at recess who have no concept of personal space. I never saw so many people who just had to be glued to their phones while talking at the top of their lungs. Kids were screaming and running all over, bashing into everyone else. No thanks. I will stick to my nice, quiet upscale mall with occasional visits to outlet stores and maybe Target. The local dollar stores should fill in the rest of my needs. Home Depot is much more pleasant than WalMart. I know, because I have spent hours in there getting supplies for home projects.
I hope everyone has a good weekend! Lots of yardwork to do, spring cleaning, walks with the pets and family, wardrobe changeover (you know, some of us have to have seasonal wardrobes, not just 'hot' and 'warm'). I know most of you have your flowers already in bloom, but I am still watching my forsythia. It might bloom one of these days soon, and then the lilacs will open, sending their lovely scent through the neighborhood. Then maybe I will stop bitching about the weather!

We have had strange weather here too. One day it is 73 ad beautiful and the next day it is 45 and raining like hell. Nights go from 30 something to 50 something. I just want some sun. It rained here so hard this morning I couldn't sleep. Take some pics of your forsythia so I can see what it is!!!!!

ahhhhhhhhh what would life be without an occasional bitchfest?? I am with you I HATE Walmart. There's a superwalmart about 15 minutes from here and that place just freaks me out...and don't get me started with Sam's club their alterego. Even when I had all 5 kids and two extra every weekend I didn't go to any stock up stores. they are just to overwhelming. And now they are talking about opening one here in town!!! Enjoy the weather I am!! rose~
