Happy Homemaker 2022-08-22

Good morning!

I think I forgot to mention that my daughter told us 2 weeks ago that she wants to move - she is not getting along with her roommate.  That implies a move and twice $$ for the new rent.  Here, in Quebec, moving day is July 1st... which means almost no appartments for lease so less choice and prices have skyrocketed since pandemia.  She also had to buy new washer, dryer and couch (she had sold the ones she had when she moved in with the roommate).  She has yet to sign her new lease as the owner is away on vacation.  Moved is scheduled for August 27... so that weekend will be taken with that.

Also, the daycare for grandkids will be closing as the owner wants to sell her house and move away... so they are trying to find a new place which is VERY complicated... sigh...  they are not lucky with daycare.

Friday night we went to see a musical show in the park with neigbors.

Last weekend we went to my brother's house for a corn on the cob party (épluchette de blé d'inde) with hotdogs and cake for my dad's birthday and my niece's birthday.  We got  to clear out the fridge again and some stuff in the cupboard and on her bedroom drawers... again 2, 5 big garbage bags taken out... we only had 45 minutes without mom there.

Today is yucky phone calls (cable, cell phone), picking up, prepping for the week ahead..

On my mind 

HATE, HATE, HATE having to make phone calls to cable and phone company.  Takes over an hour everytime and it is never satisfying.

Upcoming this week

Tuesday eye exam - I know I will need new glasses... haven't done any exam since pandemia and my eyesight has lowered again.

Next weekend - moving dd.
