More Randoms

 I had a few more things to write about, but I didn't want to put it all in one post! I just deleted a few drafts that I had; I hadn't written anything in them; they were only ideas and titles...I still have a few that I might post about...or, I might do the same as I did in the last post and do them all in one post!

I really need to get a new computer. I haven't decided what (or if) I should get (one). A few months ago, my track pad died, so I have to use the mouse with it; which is good and bad :) I am thinking of a Chrome Book, as they are so small (I had one while I worked at the school, and I loved it!), but I am also old, and I still would like to have a computer with a DVD player in it :) I also would like a laptop that can be unplugged for more than a few hours. If I am going to be an influential blogger and IG-er, I had better get a new computer!! I also need to go through my photos and documents and sealed 99% of everything!

After growing my bangs for YEARS (and then cutting them when they drove my crazy), some of them are finally long enough to be put in my bun!! I am so excited! I also need a hair cut. Badly!

I nearly became a Sipologist for Sipology, but I decided not to.

So, I started this post last week, so I should probably finish it :) 

Our Valentine's Day was pretty quiet, but it was ok. The last few years, I have pressured Anker to do something, and the last few years I haven't pressured him as much (I don't think!). I still find it hard, since our married is, well, different, and we have no kids, but it wasn't that bad this year. Anker cleaned off the little table in our living room (I asked him to do it, but still!), and I bought us things for dinner. We made dinner together; tacos! We watched a few episodes of The Crown, and then we went to bed. It was a nice day. I went over to my nephews' place to drop things off for them (I only really hang out with my brother and his family, and sometimes, my older friends down a few doors), and then I had gotten Anker a few little dollar store gifts. Anker made me earrings (oh, yes he did!), and I also bought myself some and my big gift is getting my rings fixed...I will talk about that another time. Ok, I just looked at my last Random post, and this was included. Oh well.

I talked about TV in my last post, but I was going to say that I will record (and sometimes, sometimes just delete) them for awhile, and then I get tired and just stop recording them. I am weird like that. I also like listening to the Christian station :) I will often have it on when I don't feel like watching anything; or when I want Christian music, but with no commercials (YT).

My mom had hand surgery last month. She has had carpal Tunnel for 20 years, and she decided to finally get it done. She is doing really well, and I think she is getting her left hand done next month. 

As most of you know; I have have a sleep machine (BiPap) for almost 11 years now, and I decided to FINALLY organize the components to/of it. I am not great at replacing the items (head gear, mask, etc), and I finally replaced my Velcro head gear, and wow...I should have done that six months ago! The old strap was SO lose, it was horrible! I need to take better care of my things :) I am SO THANKFUL that this is all provided to me FREE OF CHARGE! BCITS/PROP has gone far and above in the last 11 years! They usually come and visit, but b/c of C0v1d, they were unable to. We were able to connect via phone the beginning of the year, and anything I want or need for my machine I can ask, and they will give it it me no charge. #blessed

I am thinking of the people of/in TX, OH, ARK, OK, GA (see? I know all of my US Abbrevs!!), and wherever else never gets snow. I have to admit, I know I shouldn't, but I was laughing, b/c this is something we Canadians experience ALLLLL THHEEE TIIIIME! What they were going through (no power, accidents, etc) was so foreign, b/c snow is an every day occurrence over here. But then, I straightened up and decided that laughing is not the best way. I DO find it all amusing (not people dying, and houses caving in) watching their reactions, etc. Take pools, for example. One family was picking ICE out of their pool. I msgd her on IG and let her know that we just use a pool cover for pools, and she said that they don't exist there! I know that similar things happen on VI; as this happened a couple of years ago; half of the island was down, b/c they are not used to having snow and ice down there. Some places had no power, accidents happened, etc. I don't think it was as dire as it was in the US, but when winter happens over there, it can get pretty bad!

Speaking of cool....it was a balmy 11c today!! We are out of the Polar Vortex (yes, I realize that we are wimps and can't handle temps below -15c!) I tip my hand to everyone else in Canada who has been dealing with the cold! AND, I went for a walk TWO DAYS IN A ROW!! Miracles can happen!!!

Speaking of Metric; did you know that there are only 3 countries in the world that use the IMPERIAL system?? And I just read that two of them are going to be switching to the Metric soon...sooo...come on, US...keep up with the times, will ya!! Head on over here to read it for real!

I still have my Christmas tree up, and it is now a "winter tree". I love it, y'all!!!

I cleaned my kitchen fairly well the other day, and that made me happy! I love clean things; I just don't always like to clean said things!

My friend and I are still doing our monthly Sushi dates! We are having car picnics, so we kept having to  reschedule them, due to the cold:) We went to Oya Sushi, and it was really good. I went there a few years ago (I think that was my first sushisperience -and yes, that is a word!), and I don't remember liking it very much. This time, though, it was really good! I got the Crazy Girl roll (I know, I ned to expand my horizons!), and the gyoza! We went to DQ for a blizzard. We were hoping to have the Red Velvet one, but they were out of it, so I had the Mint Oreo, which was really good!!

We tried a few Meal kits last spring; Hello Fresh, and Chef's Plate, and I think I can say that I like CP best :) I have had to delete my account, though, so that I don't get charged for meals (yes, I know I can skip weeks, but I keep forgetting to). I would definitely give them both a try again, though. I can definitely see why people like them :)

I spent a few evenings with my youngest brother in the last couple of weeks, and we watched the last season of The Big Bang Theory. He has never watched the last season, so I suggested that we watch it together. I didn't think I was going to enjoy it so soon after just watching it with Anker last month, but I actually really enjoyed it!

I have been feeling really unmotivated lately; I have to (sometimes) struggle to get things done. Thankfully, I usually almost always get SOMETHING done in the day. I have been sleeping in a lot, which I don't know why, but I am trying not to feel super guilty about it. I applied to 4 jobs today! It can sure be easy to sit on my bed and watch TV all day!

Speaking of applying to jobs, I LOVE Indeed (I was going to link it, but I don't want y'all to see my information in case it was stored there). Once they have your resume, you can just upload yours to the job you want, and viola! They also have a record of all the jobs you have applied to, and you get alerts from places, saying if they have viewed your resume or not. That is my only place I apply now. There are some companies that want you to apply on their job site, which I have done a few times as well.

I finally got myself a large headset :) Y'all...it is life changing!!!! I can even sleep with them on!! I was wondering if I could, as I am a side sleeper, and while I am sure that it isn't the best for them (or me), I find that I am able to sleep with them fairly comfortably.

Our free laundry is coming to an end (I think) soon! It was fun having free laundry for 9 months! I can count on one hand how many times I have had to use Loonies for Laundry (one set was free, and one was paid) the last few months. Oh well :)

I have about a billion items on loan from the library. I have a problem, y'all! Our library is also waiving all late fees now (has been since it reopened in the summer), and I am not sad about it. Also, the librarians are my friends, and we are on a first name basis :) 

I just found out that Carman (the singer..all we 80s kids will remember him) died last week. I knew that he had been sick with cancer, and the funny thing was, I was thinking about him just the other day, wondering how he was doing. I was very sad (but not surprised) to find out that he had left this world. I knew that he had been battling cancer.

Speaking of dying, I nearly ran over a pedestrian the other evening. Ugh! There needs to be a rule that everyone wears high vis clothing when out at night! I am thankful that no one was hurt! I swear I looked before turning left, and saw no one...grrr!

I think there were a few more things I was going to write about, but I can't remember! Happy Monday, y'all!!
