Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings. --Salvador Dali

Hello peeps!

I tried to blog last night, but nothing cooperated!

And yes, I am at work!

 

I made Vanessa a baby card for one of her friends!

 

I procrastinated for quite a while, until I saw this!

The onesie people, the onesie!

 

Look at this handsome guy!

 

 

The bosses kids treats for Valentines.

 

 

And what's in them!

 

I took Ray to his pre op in Grande Prairie yesterday.

Actually we went the night before, as he had to be at the hospital by 7:30 am.

He's scheduled for Hip Replacement surgery February 19.

It was a whirlwind, very informative morning.

The Minister of Health is on my email list!

My mom said on the phone,

"When I'm Prime Minister,

there will be NO paid parking at any health facility; clinic or hospital"!

 

OMG!

I parked in the middle of the poor excuse for a parkade at the GP hospital.

With a pocket full of change I went to the first Park & Pay Machine to my left.

Don't forget, it's -30+ with a windchill....I am dressed properly!

There's a sign on it that says "Out of Order".

I trot past my vehicle to the one on the right of the parkade, with my pocket full of change.

It has a sign on it that says "Credit Card Only/ No Coin".

Remember, there's 6 inches of snow.

There's another Pay & Park machine in the main lobby, one floor up, and through the middle of the parkade!

I go back to my vehicle, get a credit card, ask the nice guy in front of me if I can take notes,

cause I don't know what I'm doing.

Keep in mind, these are not 'well lit' areas, hard to see the display;

and by now there's a line up, and not everyone is dressed properly!

I liked it better when they had the man in the booth at the entrance!

I felt sorry for any disabled people that have a lovely disabled parking spot close to the entrance (on the lower level), and then have to fool around in the snow & cold,

going from machine to machine trying to find one that works!

 

And remember this?

My redo surgery is scheduled for February 20.

We're car pooling!

Vanessa's coming!

I will get to leave after mine, Ray has to stay in the hospital until he can do a list of things.....

4-5 days.

 

Here's some reading for you.....

here and here. 

Those of you that 'know' me will get it.

Ray & I might make better friends!?

 

It's blizzarding, and has been since Wednesday night.

-30+ with the windchill.

I haven't gone to town today for the mail!

I'm not leaving until it's home time, and then I might have to shovel myself out!

 

I am home now, it's still snowing, and it's windy & ugly out!

I'll be walking a few blocks for craft night in an hour or so.

 

This is the picture I couldn't link up the other day.

 

 

 

 I live across from the arena (hockey/ curling).

I looked out my window one evening when we had the January thaw, and saw this in the parking lot!

I thought Holy Moly, it's not THAT warm!

Someone was eager to go boating!

 

Well, pretty sure you're cross eyed by now, so I'll let you go!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!
