Tatiana's Wanderings

I went out at 2:35 on a 407 and bought President's Choice meat lasagna and Hungry-Man Salisbury Steak from Shoppers; Vedan Bah Kut tea noodles / spicy mushroom cuttlefish noodles, Milk2Go banana milk, Dairyland 1% milk, four little porcelain dishes or bowls, NEW Tostitos Hint of Spicy Queso tortilla chips, Knorr Chicken Sidekicks from Price Smart, and $2 strawberry / blueberry / peppermint / raspberry Porta chocolate bars and a Rescue Petz golden retriever from London Drugs. Seeing that Coast Capital looked really dark inside and it was closed for all but essential services, I just went to Bank of Montreal instead since it looked open: $35 change for laundry in an envelope from BMO achieved! Saw a book named MY DARK VANESSA at London Drugs, so had to send a photo to Vanessa - I got home at 4:45.

FUCK - there's going to be a bus strike in three days! At least they want to reduce overcrowding. The Canucks played Florida tonight at 7, and won 7-2! FIVE GOALS IN THE FIRST PERIOD, AND ALL THE FORWARDS GOT AT LEAST ONE POINT!


Big Bone Lick, Kentucky?!

From Youtube: Mike Rust sounds like MY CRUST...

Since I didn't have to help out with the kids today, I stayed home to wallow in redrum unglory, haha. I felt bad because I had genuinely forgotten to give the cleaner a $20 cash tip yesterday (and remembered the time when Eric made us go back to the Pho place next door to church so I could give them a tip for dinner), so after some procrastination, called the EcoClean number given in my text reminder yesterday at 3:55. No, an e-transfer wouldn't work as far as I knew, and neither would a credit card payment on my own non-existent credit card if I didn't want it getting back to my family. The guy said he'd call her and see what she wanted to do.

Someone knocked on my door at 6:30, and it turned out to be the cleaner, who actually lives in Richmond! SHE thought I was paying for the service in cash, and wanted to call her boss, but I clarified. I said that I didn't want her to think that someone deliberately didn't tip her since I definitely wanted to show her some appreciation (especially since she was doing it all by herself), so she thanked me and gave me a big hug after I gave her $20 in cash fresh from my wallet. I should get more envelopes since I have no idea where my other ones are! At least my laundry token seed money of $20 is still intact!


COOKIES! Dare Cookie Butter cookies, NEW Dutch De Ruiter Speculaas biscuits, NEW Triscuit dill / sea salt / olive oil crackers, NEW Triscuit Canada balsamic and basil crackers, and NEW basil and garlic Triscuits crackers in a Ziploc bag!

After I had COFFEE TIME, Barry picked me up at 11:50 and we went banking and to Price Smart. I bought a NEW on-sale Caramilk chocolate bar and a half, NEW Triscuit dill / sea salt / olive oil crackers, NEW Triscuit Canada balsamic and basil crackers, NEW basil and garlic Triscuits crackers, Ottogi Jin Ramen in both spicy and mild flavors, NEW Western Family chicken and wild / brown rice soup, NEW Western Family chicken and rotini soup, NEW Western Family soy sauce x2 (regular and 50% less sodium), NEW DASANI water (after the soy sauce attacked me), a NEW HERSHEY'S Gold chocolate bar (peanuts and pretzels), Western Family 8-vegetable lasagna with multigrain pasta (carrots / green and red Bell peppers / spinach / zucchini / cauliflower / broccoli / black olives), on-sale Olympic Dairy organic plain yogurt.

Also bought bananas, on-sale Excel Gum in peppermint flavor x3, NEW Shirakiku Goku-Uma tonkotsu noodles, NEW on-sale STAGG Chili Canada Steak House chili, NEW Tim Hortons canned soup x3 (Cream of Broccoli / Chicken Noodle / Chicken Rice), on-sale MilkisPH Snoopy six-pack drinks x7 (milk and yogurt in a bottle / canned melon / canned apple / canned banana / canned mango / canned peach / canned original), Western Family prune nectar, on-sale NEW O'Tasty vegetable / pork / black mushroom dumplings or potstickers, Joy Chinese Dim Sum dumplings x4, and Silk Canada almond milk! After that, I paid my Shaw bill online at home.

Later, I tried to get Hester to give me some laundry tokens (March 26, 2019). She said that they were going out right now, but I could have some if I came by immediately. So I did, but she was STILL not impressed because I should have taken the "nearest" stairs so she wouldn't have to wait three minutes, which is apparently an inconvenience. Well, maybe she should work on the building's elevator which has been out of service for five weeks, and replacing the dryer which has been out of commission for three months! Then when I left her door, she said that I should take the "nearest" stairs - no, because I'd still have to walk down a long hallway regardless! I told her NO! I'm going to do what works best for me, and it's just TOO BAD if my disability and walking speed causes her to wait a few more minutes to leave the building since they haven't invented teleportation for real yet! The Canucks played the Senators again tonight at 7 in Preseason Game #7 (the penultimate!), and lost 6-2.


From Julie M. and Introvert Spring: If I am silent, it's because there's thunder inside me. Or I'm just chilling - it depends. May the odds be ever in your favor.
