Tuesday

Last night re-cap*

After Mom arrived home, just before 6, we ate dinner (burritos prepared by Moi). Megan called and wanted Syd to come over to play so we all piled in the car and toodled over to Colleens.  Mom, Avery and I jaunted to the mall to have a look for some new unmentionables for Mom. It took an hour or so and then we scooted back to pick up the Syd. At 9:30 pm it was still completely daylight. How screwed up does this make me? It got dark around 10:20 pm! 10:20! Very weird and other-worldly. My kids have not been getting to bed before 11 and its starting to show (Syd broke down crying yesterday for no reason) Anyway, I finished Life Lessons, it was very good albeit repetitive. I would recommend it for anyone. I'm half-way through Head-Case by Dennis Cass.

Not really the best writing but vaguely amusing, I should finish it by tomorrow.

As for my eating. Well. I've lost weight. Canada is different in that there isnt as much convenience food. There's a Burger King, a Subway, McDonalds and a Dairy Queen.  A few pizza places with names I've not heard of before and a couple of Chinese places.  Honestly, the fast food is EXPENSIVE. A Happy Meal here is about 5 bucks. They dont even HAVE a dollar menu! When I bought groceries I almost dropped dead. Not only do they NOT have alot of the foods I live on but everything is about TRIPLE the cost of home. I can shop for 4 people, 2 weeks of dinners, 150ish bucks. One week of food here is about the same, even buying NO-Name brands. Insane. I havent been eating and its starting to show. My only pair of jeans, size 6, fell off last night. I need to eat more. Bah!

Averys jock itch, which I'm treating with Tinactin, isnt getting any better. The poor guy is miserable but I dont know what else to do. Its not like when he was a toddler and I could let him run around outside naked. He's 14 and looks manly, if I did that now, someone would call the police. Grrrrrrr.
