Long Monday

A Long Monday, indeed. We had to go down the mountain side today to visit the big box store, geez I so hate it. The city has a pulp mill, lord help me I can barely breathe. You never would guess I lived in a city which had three pulp mills and I actually was employed for years in one of them. Funny how it is when you have moved away to fresh air. Anyway, we stroll into that lovely big box store and the noisemaker well, let me tell you - he can find any treat, any sweet thing in that store except me! Go figure. We have more pastry things, candies, peanuts, anything resembling junk food. Furthermore, he cannot just buy one can of fancy coffee - oh hell no, he has to get six! Great mother of god!

I was so tired after one hour there, I went and sat down on some stacked up pallets. I had had enough. Then, we have to go to Walmart. I told noisemaker, I am not spending much time here, I want to go to McDonalds, eat and go home. I am not a shopper, I go get what I need at the best price, coupons in hand, and get the hell out of there. I actually did not mind Walmart because I purchase my baking stuff there, cake mixes, icing...holy crap I even got a baster today! I was so happy. I was really happy to climb back up the mountain side.

9 more days until I leave for the city of Vancouver.
11 more days until John Prine, oh Johnny.
