MAR 31/13 11:44 PM

I had a fairly good day at the market. I sold a few items and two people fed me. After the market Cookie invited me over for supper. I had a Swiss Chalet cheeseburger dinner. It was some good and I got very full. After I got home I played on the puter. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 30/13 11:59 PM

I had a fairly good day at the market. I made a few sales and one person fed me. After the market Cookie, Chicken Wings, and myself went to Jean's resterant for supper. I had the hamburg steak and onions dinner. It was quite good. I could only eat about two thirds of it. I ate the rest later. I'm off to get some much needed beauty rest.

MAR 29/13 11:57 PM

I hung around my parent's place most of the day. I had a barbeque at my landlord's. I was so full I couldn't even drink half a beer. I went home and took a power nap. I'm off to play on the internet.

MAR 28/13 11:11 PM

I got my heating rebate cheque. I went to the bank, SDM, the beer store, and to Burger King. I'm broke but I'm full of beer and burgers and my bus trips are paid for the next month. I'm off to watch some tv and plan my bus excursions for the next month.

MAR 27/13 11:57 PM

I went to the beer store. Later I hung around my parent's place. I played on the puter then took a power nap. My team kicked ass at bowling, taking six points. I'm to watch some tv.

MAR 26/13 11:26 PM

I hung around at my parent's place most of the day. I played an the puter and took a couple of naps. I'm beginning to think my get up and go has got up and went. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 25/13 9:54 PM

Only nine months til Christmas, Ho Ho Ho. I mostly napped and played on the puter all day. I have little energy to do anything and get tired very easily. I don't know if I'm just getting old, or dying inside, or what. Nice weather please hurry so I can feal younger again. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 24/13 11:31 PM

Despite it being slow, I had a good day at the market. I made a few sales, took a couple of naps, and two people fed me. Frannie went to the beer store for me. When I got home I played on the puter. Cookie cooked me some chicken wings. I drank some beer. I am a happy camper. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 23/13 11:26 PM

It was quiet at the market again. Two people fed me and I made a couple of sales. I got in a couple minutes of napping time. Cookie and myself went to the casino for supper. The new resterant is nice, the service and food is very good, but their new systop sucks the big bazooka. I don't mind waiting for a table, but find it very irritating when I have to wait over an hour and a half, while hotel guests and special card holders get to walk right in. I'd better be quiet before I start getting cranky. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 22/13 11:22 PM

I dropped by my parent's place to visit the cat. Later I went to the beer store. Missing most of the busses by about five minutes each gave me lots of fresh air. When I got back to my parent's place I sipped on some beer and helped Cookie and Chicken Wings sort through my parent's stuff. It's a big job. The beer is now a fond memory. I'm off to bed to dream of fond mamaries. Hee hee, that was just a Pink Freudian slip. Hee hee, I spelled Pink Ffloydian wrong. Hee hee, the memories of the mamaries are in my head again. I'm off to bed.

MAR 21/13 11:43 PM

I hung around my parent's house most of the day. I played on the puter a bit. I'm bored out of my tree. I might resort to rolling up some pennies and heading to the beer store tomorrow. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 20/23 11:33 PM

I played on the puter most of the day. Tonight my bowling team really kicked arse, taking all eight points. I'm off to get some beauty rest.

MAR 19/13 11:07 PM

I napped most of the day. I played on the puter a bit. It was quite chilly and windy out so didn't go too far. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 19/13 12:24 AM (FOR MAR 18/13)

I hung around my parent's place fot awhile. Later I went to the beer store. I played on the puter then took a nap. I somehow didn't even drink any beer. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 17/13 11:27 PM

It was slow at the market. Two people fed me so it was a good day. After the market I went to my parent's place and drank some beer while watching tv. I'm home now and am playing on the puter. I still have one beer left. It may not be around much longer. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 16/13 10:29 PM

I woke up under the weather this morning. I think I got too much fresh air yesterday. It was quiet at the market again. I mostly sold things for Michelle. Three people fed me so it was a good day. I got home and took a long nap. I'm still not too lively. I'm off to visit the cat.

MAR 15/13 11:58 PM

I made it through another day. I'm depressed as frig about my parents. Today I went to the food bank. My busses were somehow each five minutes late, setting me back about an hour behind my planned schedule. Possibly the fresh air I enjoyed was  a blessing. When I  got to the food bank they were closed by a minute. They still fed me. My thanks go to the food bank. On the way home I stopped by the beer store and missed two more busses by about five minutes each. At least I didn't go hungry or thirsty. I'm poopeyed and laughing as I look back at today. Today is just another day for me but I still miss my parents. Luckilly Sammy, my parent's cat who adopted me, keeps covering me with cat hair and keeps chearing me up. Geez, I have more hair than I did in the seventies. Thanks Sammy.

MAR 14/13 11:52 PM

I hung around my parent's place most of the day. I had supper at my landlord's. The food was quite tasty. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 13/13 10:52 PM

Today was a day of mixed emotions. My father got laid to rest. There were no feuds over the distributing of my parent's posessions. In fact, there are lots of stuff left over. I gave a family member a valuable article I staked claim on yesterday. I gave it up to him in a second when I learned he knew the perfect place to keep it. I can enjoy it at his place just as good as mine Also he usually has more beer in his fridge than I do. That's not really why I did it but it sounds good to me. Anyways, I have to give my sister, Cookie, credit for the good work she does now as she did in the past. She was always there for my mother and father. She is also there for others, too. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 12/13 11:08 PM

We started to pick through the boxes and boxes of my parent's stuff today. Man oh man, what a big job. We will divide up the stuff tomorrow after the ceremony. To some it may sound as if we're a greedy bunch, taking stuff so soon, but I assure you we aren't. My sister is moving into the place at the very near future so we have to get moving (any puns intended). I found my father's old army mug and a viewer with an old picture of my him tending bar in it. I staked my claim on both articles and an old ACLP (Albert County Liquor Pigs) mug I gave when I was back in high school. I'm content with that. I spent almost an hour shining up the army mug in the hope it will fit into the little glass case next to his war medals. It may be crowded in there with his and my mother's ashes, the dog's ashes, the dog and cat's pictures, and the medals. If it is I will find a special place to put the mug at the market where I can show it to people and pass on some of his war stories. I'm covered with cat hair as I type. I'll make no attempt to clean it off before tomorrow. Hopefully my mother will sense the cat hair and know for sure her cat is well looked after. I'm off to get some much needed beauty sleep.

MAR 11/13 11:49 PM

It was a slow moving day. It took til after noon to get next door and about another four hours to get to Riverview and back. At least I bought a few groceries and have three months of prescriptions. I'm in the process of renewing my drug card and a lot of the paperwork was due yesterday. I now have a three month safety net in case my ass drags too slow for the rest of this process. Notice how I say it's my ass that drags? They usually handle my case quite quickly, but where I have trouble gathering up a poop load of paperwork, I am sometimes slower than my five years in grade two. Just kidding about grade two. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 11/13 1:15 AM (FOR MAR 10/13)

I had a good day at the market. A couple of people fed me and I made a couple of sales. A couple of people gave me some really neat stuff to sell. When I got home I olayed on the puter then took a power nap. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 09/13 10:18 PM

Today was a long day. My father passed away after a lengthy illness. I guess I'm an orphan now. I found saying goodbye to him was quite hard, as he was always there for my mother and us kids. I feel a lot of sadness but I also feel happy that his pain and suffering has ended. I almost opened the secret bottle of whiskey that has been tucked away for the last couple of years but decided against it. I feel I made the right decision. Cookie and myself went to the casino for supper. The roast beef was so filling I only had one plate of food, desert, and a couple of ice teas. The ride on six busses to get there and back were very relaxing and for a while I felt like my regular self. Sammy, my mother's cat, let me pick her up tonight. Usually she hates to get picked up, but tonight, she was purring away. I'm very tired and am off to bed.

DAD

Jul 14/1933 To Mar 09/13

Dad, and his dog, Princess, out for a walk. Sometimes we're not sure who was walking who.



MAR 08/13 11:50 PM

I was up around 6:00 am. I played on the puter a bit. I wanted to visit my father early in the morning. I started to do stuff, and before I knew it it was noon. Half the day passed by. I got to the hospital about 2:00 pm. My father was looking good, and flirting with the nurses. He was my dad as I remember him about twenty years ago.I sat back in the recliner chair and relaxed. Later I went to the beer store, and Cookie and myself went to McDonald's. I stopped by my father's place and visited Sammy, my mother's cat, who may soon adopt me as her human. We watched some tv before I came home. I'm off to check my email then get some sleep.

MAR 07/13 11:50 PM

It was a long day. I got up around 5:00 am. We all met with my father's doctor. I guess my father has about a week to live. It's nice to see the family members gathered together but I much prefer Christmas over yesterday. My father was faced with the decision of dying peacefully or prolonging a painful existance. We all respect his decision. I have to compare losing both parents in such a short time to swallowing two tough pills with the same glass of water. It's tough to take both at once but probably easier than making two trips to the well and swallowing them seperately. In the evening I played on the puter and took a great nap on the couch. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 06/13 11:43 PM

It was a long day. I waited all morning for a person to come and pick up my empties. It was a no show so out to the curb the go tomorrow. I got a phone call informing me my father is through taking dialysis. He's at the end of the line. We have to meet with his doctor tomorrow afternoon. I figure he has about a week to live. I feel like a real jackass for all the time I wasted rebelling against him in the days of my youth. I realize that kind of stuff is par to the course, but it is time I can never get back. At least I have a lot of good memories of some of the adventures we had. At bowling my team got our arses kicked, losing all eight points. I'm going ovet to check on the cat then I'm off to get some sleep.

MAR 05/13 11:01 PM

Today was a long day. I woke up around 3:00 am, 4:00 am, 5:00 am. and 7:00 am. I found out my father is only allowed to eat pureed food. I guess that puts tomorrow's mission of smuggling him in a Whopper on hold. Yesterday he was doing so well and eating up a storm. Today, it's almost like he's eating baby food. I'm starting to get pretty f*ck*ng rattled. I went to the beer store to help take the edge off me. The beer was good and will help rejuvinate me so I can face tomorrow with renewed energy. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 04/13 11:30 PM

Happy Parade Day.......March forth........Left right.....left right. Hee hee. I visited my father then went to the beer store. Later I visited the cat then played on the puter. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 03/13 11:30 PM

I had a good day at the market. Three people fed me. Another person gave me a tv/dvd player. I was over visiting the cat and Cookie showed up with lots of pizza. Burrrrp, Please excuse me. Later I played on the puter. I'm off to watch some tv.

MAR 02/13 11:29 PM

It was quiet at the market. Two people fed me so it was a good day. I went to my father's after the market and hung out with the cat and Cookie. I dropped by my landlords and had a couple of  tacos, washing them down with a quadruple vodka and orange juice. Later I played on the puter. I'm off to get some much needed beauty rest.

MAR 01/13 10:39 PM

Today I woke up around 4:00 am having a hard time breathing. I coughed and hacked and eventually pulled out of it. I guess it was a bad edema day. I played on the puter. Later I visited my father at the hospital, stopping for rests about three times between every bus stop. I found out the doctor can't do the operation he hoped to do. It's just a matter of time before my father passes on. I am physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. I still have my spiritual energy. I know GOD didn't give me my parents. HE only loaned them to me. I thank HIM allowing me to be born from such great people. I'm off to get some much needed beauty sleep.
