curious-me's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatch it.....please! My friend S now lives closer and in a less congested city that is way cheaper to live however it is now becoming too expensive to visit her for me. Oh gas is co-operating nicely and I have a small economical car so that is no worries. Nope it is the 2 consecutive parking tickets I have got since I visited her. Now one was for overnight parking – fine I will accept that even though they had bragged since they moved there no one EVER got a ticket (yay me I was the first!). Then this past weekend I drove down for a day of shopping with her. Since she knows the city she drove – and brain surgeons we are we did not think of moving my car to her secure and paid for spot – nope we left it there on the street to get ticketed for the 2nd time. Turns out you can only park on her street for 1 hour. Now granted my friend seemed pretty upset about it but not enough to you know….offer to help bail me out or throw in a few bucks for my second ticket for visiting her. I mean I probably would have declined it it just would have been nice to have the offer ya know? Oh wait she did buy me a coffee and a donut AND made me a pretty bad homemade stew (yah I’ve been spoiled by Keith’s cooking it’s not my fault). Meat should not be that chewy. At least my cold is over. Why do I feel like I just jinxed myself? Today we had our team lunch. The day started off with drama. 1 co-worker has her mother in the hospital and another co-worker is worried about her druggy daughter. Put a bit of a downer on the day. Oh and we almost came to a shouting match at the restaurant as we were trying to play the white elephant game. So many variations. I ran the game last year and wrote out the rules - the person didn't do the same this year who was running it and had some wacky rules that didn't make sense. Ah well I think we all left happy. My secret santa gift was awesome - a comfy blanket, 4 pairs of socks (yup I love the socks) and a x-mas ornament with my initial. This weekend it is go time for Christmas preparations. My friend S is having a party but we've declined. Besides not wanting another ticket (ahem) we want to get our x-mas tree this weekend and get our x-mas shopping done. Last Sunday was a write off after the x-mas party. T and her guy drove us to the party and it was a super fun night. We called it a night around 2am but boy did I feel rough in the morning. After an extra strength advil I was so much better. But I still didn't leave the house the whole day thus got nothing done. A'ight I gotta finish my laundry and head to bed. I am tired! 9:36 p.m. - 2015-12-10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
