time off

i'm a sickee today. my nose is so stuffy i can hardly breathe and talk about run.... i've used boxes and boxes of tissues. it's not good.

hubby will have to drive to maynooth tomorrow. he only has 13 work days left and then it's retirement for him. me? well i have to wait for a while, until we sell the bowmanville house. it's not going to paint itself. the kitchen is almost done but i don't know what to do with the cabinets? and no, we're not replacing them. they'll have to be refinished someway or another. then there's the flooring on the 2nd floor.... to carpet or not to carpet?, that is the question. some say carpet the bedrooms, others say no put down hardwood... i'd go laminate myself as i think it holds up better than hardwood judging by the way the hardwood flooring in maynooth is going.

anyway, i'm off to curl up on the couch with my box of tissue again.

wow! i've finally done it. i've created my own blog... how current and up to date is that?

Living in Black Fly Country is where i'm headed in the near future. my husband and i are moving out of the GTA and heading to a new home about 20 minutes north of Bancroft, ON... home of Ontario's Provincial Bird..... you guessed it.... the Black Fly...

we've actually owned our retirement home for well over a year now and have experienced one Black Fly season and really, it wasn't too, too, bad. you did have to spend a wee bit more time indoors, or get used to wearing mosquito/bug clothing and hats but may/june have never been my most favourite time of the year anyway.... september/october is more like it. for the past 21 years i've lived with the Black Fly here in my little corner of the world, just an hour or so east of Toronto, on the north shore of Lake Ontario. most people have not believed me over the years, that Black Flies are so far south, but they are, so i'll feel right at home when we move up there permanently.
