I had fun at the market today. It was pouring rain when I went there so I took the bus there. I was lazy so I took the bus back again. I almost stopped at the beer store. I took the dog for a couple of walks. I'm off to take the dog for another walk.

FEB 27/09 7:11 PM

Today was another productive day. I paid off my phone bill and got my phone reconnected, paid off my power bill, did errands, cooked, did dishes, took the dog for a couple of walks, and even took a couple of naps. I'm off to take the dog for another walk then take a nap.

FEB 26/09 10:43 PM

I had a busy day. I visited my parents, ran some errands, renewed my AFV membership, took the dog for a couple of walks, did the dishes, and took a couple of naps. My internet is still working despite having no phone hookup. I'm going to pay off my phone bill tomorrow and tell them I just want to keep the internet. I'll save about $40.00 a month plus the $25.00 rehookup fee. I have to check my email then go take the dog for another walk.

FEB 25/09 11:12 PM

I'm surprised to still have my internet hooked up but I'm not complaining about it. I had a busy day. I took the dog for a couple of walks. I did some laundry. I washed dishes and cooked. I also visited my parents then continued on to the bank, SDM, Moncton Headstart, and Highfield Square travelling on five different busses. Later I took a nap. I'm off to take the dog for another walk before calling it a night.

FEB 24/09 10:06 PM

Today has been a long day. The dog wanted to go out shortly after 3:30 AM. I took her for another walk around 6:30 AM then another around 9:00 AM. On the 9:00 walk I got as far as the end of the driveway and lost my breath due to a slight pulimory edema attack. I took a couple of lasix pills, and after peeing out a half gallon of water, was able to walk to the hospital to visit my parents. I hopped on the bus and went to Riverview to get some groceries and pick up a prescription. I snuck into McDonald's and got some double cheeseburgers. I took a couple of busses home then tried to take a nap. The dog wanted out again. Later I went home to check my messages and email. The phone had no dial tone but I got lots of email. I went back to my parent's place and called my number. It has been disconnected. I called the phone company to ask why I had no phone but still had internet which operates over the phone line. The person told me my internet will probably be cut off in the morning. I hope I get my cheque tonight so I can pay some bills by internet or I'll have to run my arse all over town tomorrow. I'd better go take the dog for another walk then I'm off for a nap.

FEB 23/09 6:40 PM

We got a sh*tload of snow last night. The sidewalks aren't plowed and the streets are covered with puddles. As a result I didn't get too much done today. I'm off to take the dog for a very short walk.

FEB 22/09 9:07 PM

I had fun at the market. I sold stuff for other people and a few things for myself. I visited my parents tonight and almost wiped my bike out a couple of times. I'm off to my parent's house to enjoy some cheap cooking wine and a couple of samosas.

FEB 21/09 7:42 PM

It was quiet at the market again. I sold almost $10.00 worth of products. I took the dog for a couple of walks. I'm off to watch some tv and maybe sip on some cheap cooking wine.

FEB 20/09 7:44 PM

I had a productive day. I got my sister in law home safely from the eye doctor. I visited my parents at the hospital. I also went to the supermarket, corner store, beer store, and flea market. I just parked my bike and am off to my parent's house to take the dog for another walk before sipping on some beverages.

FEB 19/09 10:23 PM

My mother had a successful operation this morning and I feal relieved. I visited my father this morning and brought some things up to him. Later I took a nap. I was going to pedal to the beer store but I noticed about 6 new inches of snow had fallen while I was dozing. That probably explained the good sleep I had. I was going to visit my parents tonight but the sidewalks weren't plowed. The roads looked pretty bad too. I'm off to let the dog out for awhile.

FEB 18/09 11:51 PM

Today was a good day. I took the dog for a couple of walks. I visited my parents. My bowling team took 4 points. Todd, the bartender, gave me a pitcher of draft and a quadruple rum and coke. I'm off to take the dog for another walk.

FEB 17/09 7:40 PM

Today was a productive day. I took the dog for a couple of walks. I visited both my parents. I got a filling put in one of my teeth. Pedalling conditions were really great. My busses and transfers were all perfectly lined up. I even got to take an hour nap. I'm off to take the dog for another walk.

FEB 16/09 11:01 PM

Today was a long day. I took the dog for 4 walks. I did the laundry. I did lots of dishes. I visited both of my parents in the hospital. My father was easy to find. Finding my mother took a bit of effort. It the past 5 days she has chanced rooms a couple of times. I was all over the third and forth floors trying to find her. 2 glasses of ice water later I finally found her. Both parents looked better than I thought they would. That helped renew my inner strenght. I started to go to my pharmacy but got on the wrong bus. After 3 busses I made it to the pharmacy. Their puter was down most of the day and there were about 40 orders ahead of me so I gave up and went to McDonald's for some double cheeseburgers. After that I hopped on the next bus and went to the beverage store then my favourite bowling center. Eventually I made it home. I'm sipping on some cheap cooking wine and relaxing. I'd better head back to my parent's place and cook some dinner for the dog.

FEB 15/09 8:31 PM

It was slow day at the market again. If I count my sales for the weekend then subtract my financial commitments I came home with $2.13 less than I started with. Add another $2.00 for the bus and then I'm down $4.13 plus product costs. I was out of the house for two days and drank lots of tea. I also ate lots of food. I'm happy as frig. I went to the beverage store on the way home and bought some barley beverages. They are good. Why do I still go to the flea market every weekend when I'm not making any money? Because I love it. Where can I have 2 days out of the house and spend less than $20.00? I took my father's dog for 3 walks today and she pooped twice. Again, after a few days of waiting for this to happen, I'm happy as poop. Grrr..... The computer just downloaded a winDOH's update and my puter had to restart. What a waste of almost 15 minutes rebooting. Grrrrr. Well, I'm off to finish taking the dog for a walk.

FEB 14/09 10:39 PM

I had a bit better Saturday than I usually do at the market. I got a tear in my coat fixed, bought some batteries, paid my table rent, and still had 37 cents in my pocket at the end of the day. The dog is sitting here patiently watching me type away. I'd better finish taking her for a walk.

FEB 13/09 10:31 PM

Today was a quiet day. I took the dog for a couple of walks. I'm starting to feal a bit rundown. I think I'm catching a cold. I was going to visit my mother and father but found out the hospital is closed to visitors.

FEB 12/09 11:08 PM

This morning I cleaned the cat's box. I clogged up the terlit trying to flush the cat poop and old litty litter away. Luckilly I got it unclogged before anybody had to use it. I wanted to visit my parents this afternoon but it rained most of the afternoon and evening. I couldn't even take my father's dog for a walk. Now it's cold and slippery out. The doctor thinks my mother may have had another stroke. My father has some pneumonia and some king of kidney failure. I'm depressed as heck. I stopped by to see how Buddy is doing and to post this diary entry .The dog sits waiting patiently watching me type. She's not used to stopping by my place. I'm off to finish taking her for a walk.

FEB 11/09 11:59 PM

I've had the dog out seven times today and she pooped once. We got into an argument when I had to go home to get something. I told her to get in the house and and she started growling at me. I had a hard to time getting her back in the house. Later I went bowling. I was tired and both my feet were really sore. At one point I could hardly stand up. Towards the ned the feet felt a lot better. I thought we lost but it turned out we took 6 points from the other, much tougher, team. I'm off to my parent's house to take the dog for a walk and call it a night.

FEB 11/09 11:52 PM (FOR FEB 10/09)

It was a stressful day. I waited for an invisible bus for half an hour in the cold. I decided to walk. My 25 minute walk took 55 minutes counting the wait. I took my parent's dog for 5 walks trying to get her to poop. She's one stubborn little dog. We found out my mother took 2 days medication and called an ambulance for her as a precaution. I guess the paramedics called a second ambulance for my father. How romantic, His And Hers Ambulances. At least they're in the same hospital. I went to bed about 9:30 pm.

FEB 09/09 11:24 PM

I took my father's dog for a walk twice today. The first time she wanted to poop in the middle of the street. I pulled on her leash and got her back on the sidewalk but she was too stubborn to finish her business. On the second walk she was too stubborn to let it out. I think one of us is full of poop and she's the one with the brown eyes. In the evening I went out on a mission. About 2 blocks away I stepped on a sheet of ice covered with powdered snow. Needless to say I went arse over tea kettle. I thought I was ok when I fell into the pushup position but was dismayed when my hands slipped and I landed on my nose. I had to crawl 2 house lengths before I could get any traction to get back up again. All ended well. I returned home and am sipping on some Seagram's 83 whiskey my father gave me yesterday. I'm off to sleep through some tv.

FEB 08/09 9:23 PM

It was a slow day at the market again. I visited the vendor's lounge a couple of times more than I probably should have. Buuuurp. Please excuse me. I took my father's dog for a walk and he gave me 6 beer and some whiskey. I haven't sipped on those beverages yet but the night is still far from over. I'm off to try to find some KISS tickets for the Jul 18/09 Halifax concert online. I have my brother's credit card. See ya.

JAN 07/09 11:01 PM

I pedalled to and from the market today. It was really really quiet there. Tonight I got my old laptop working again. I'm off to watch a movie.

FEB 06/09 11:43 PM

I went to the collective kitchen this afternoon. We cooked, rice, chicken a la king, sweet and sour meatballs, corn chowder, and muffins. In the evening I walked down to the flea market and rearranged the tables a bit. Later on my landlord gave me half a pizza. I ate pretty good tonight. Burrrrrp. Please excuse me. I'm hoping for a good day at the market tomorrow as I really need the money. I'm off to sleep through some tv.

FEB 05/09 10:32 PM

I went to the dentist today to get a tooth pulled. I ended up getting three pulled. It sur was hard trying to eat dinner with my top left, top right, and bottom right molars missing. I cooked up some potatoes and carrots for supper and had fun trying to eat them. I'm off for a nap or to watch some tv.

FEB 04/09 11:40 PM

I had a quiet day. I did dishes and cooked up a big pot of macaroni. I played on the internet and took a couple of naps. My team kicked ass at bowling tonight. We also won the 50-50 draw making a profit of $5.20 each. I spent my good fortune on a couple of beer in the bar. I'm off to watch some tv.

FEB 03/09 10:56 PM

I just woke up a few minutes ago and was surprised to find it was dark out for being 10:45 in the morning. Surprise, surprise!! I guess it was 10:45 PM and not AM. I guess that's what can happen when I take a 5:00 PM nap. Not a lot happened today. I took my parent's dog for a couple of walks and watched a movie on the laptop with my mother.

FEB 02/09 11:49 PM

I did dishes and cooked up a big pot of macaroni. Later I took a nap. Still later I took a trip to Riverview to visit my favourite bowling center. The fresh air felt great as I made my way to the bus stop. On the way I picked up some beer and Handi's pizza subs. When I got back home I enjoyed my purchases. All in all I think it was a good day for me. I'm off to watch some tv.

FEB 01/09 11:55 PM

It was a slow day at the market. I invested in a bucket full of keychains. I'm going to sell them for fifty cents each, three for a dollar, or one free with a five dollar purchase. On the way home from the market I bought groceries and beer. I am a happy camper.
