The work in our basement since the flood is going along at a snails pace. Today it took all day to put in the base of the shower and to level the floor. I am tired of people I don't know being in my home and all the noise. And my neck is sore though that has nothing to do with the work being done.
My Al Anon home group had a pot-luck today because they have been a group for 20 years. I didn't go because since I am not working I have only had one EI payment go through. Yes, EI is messing with me in a big way. Anyway, I did not have any money to buy something that would be suitable for a potluck so I stayed home. Oh, well.
Did my usual Monday chores and I am really looking forward to having a hot bath and sleeping in my bed. I love my bed.
It seems many of you watched the Oscars last night. I did not. When I watch the recap I don't even know who most of the people are. Of course I recognize Liza Minnelli, Meryl Streep and Ellen. But who is the long haired dude? And Goldie Hawn. Yipe! I almost didn't recognize her.
Right now we have pie in the house and I want some but the scale tells me NOOOOOOOO!
I will go have a bath instead.
I didn't watch either. I didn't even watch the recaps. I'm sure that I wouldn't recognize most of the people either.
ReplyDeleteHere's a Yank asking: What is an El?
ReplyDeleteStrangers in the home can be a drain..
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the Oscars unfortunately,, time difference, and I didn't know what channel. (UK) Did Goldie look odd?.. she usually looks great.. doesn't seem to age
I didn't watch them either. I don't see many movies, wouldn't recognise many of the people, and think that most of them are already more than adequately rewarded for what they do. And yes, I know that is heresy.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't watch either. Currently no energy for anything but study and my brain is on overload so anything not essential is not getting in there. I looked at that photo that is being shown everywhere and didn't recognise anyone though to be honest I didn't look closely. Hope the strangers are soon finished. Enjoy your bath. Money issues are the pits. Sorry you couldn't go.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine having a group of proto-men traipsing around my house making massive noise and minimal progress. This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteDespite my having written two posts about it, I did not watch the Oscars either. Doesn't stop me from mocking the privileged and pretty.
The long-haired dude is a guy named Jared Leto and he did an amazing performance in Dallas Buyers Club.
ReplyDeleteSo now you know that.
I feel so bad for you having all those people in your house. I hate that too! May there be some peace soon.
I certainly agree that Goldie Hawn was a shocker. About died when Ellen joked about Liza Minnelli being a "man". OMG! That Ellen will say anything! And yes, Jared Leto and Matthew McConneghey were both extremely deserving of their awards for best supporting and best actors in Dallas Buyers Club.
ReplyDeleteI don't care to see the oscars either....hope the basement noise gets done
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the Oscars all that much either. I've been worried about personal problems. So I haven't done much.
ReplyDeleteEI. They rank right up there with Revenue Canada, right?! :)
ReplyDeleteWhatever timeline they give you, expect to double it for the home repair stuff. Unless you have Scott MacGillvary or Mike Holmes, they are going to be slow. What matters is that they do good work.
I'm sure I'm late to this party but I like your new appearance! And the nod to the Rob Thomas song in your header. We all need a re-vamp every now and again (even Goldie Hawn!). Here's to ditching the Black Dog. xx
ReplyDeleteWe don't have TV here but even if we did, this is not a show that I am interested in.
