The Manuscript of My Life

June? Feels more like November!

I am not quite over the Pens loss of The Cup as yet, but each day it gets a little easier. All you non-sports fans out there will shake your head and think I'm nuts, but we are grieving and hopefully by the time September rolls around we will be over it! LOL....

Ok - now for some good old bitching. Our weather is the SHITS!!! I seriously could see my breath this morning when I went outside. It was only 7 degrees Celsius which translates to about 54 F I think. That is DAMN cold for June. In fact, I looked up the temperature for Nov 9 and it was 12 degrees. Go figure! Besides the cold, the sky is grey, it is raining and UGH I just can't stand it any more. I need some Vitamin D and sunshine before I lose my mind! I had packed away all my winter sweaters etc., but I had to go and dig them out again AND I actually turned on the heat yesterday afternoon. Shoot me now!

Gas prices are going through the freaking roof!!! Fortunately I don't have to drive too much as I live in a neighborhood that has everything I need within walking distance, and working at home does definitely help. However, the price of gas is $1.46 a litre, which translates to $5.68 per US gallon! Who in the hell can afford that????? And the price is still supposed to go up more before the end of the summer. Not only is the price of gas higher, but I just bought groceries and the price of everything has gone up, up, up in the last month or so. Has my income gone up over the past 5 years?? No - in fact it has not. We have already trimmed the fat from our living expenses, and are down to basics, so I am not sure what else we can cut out. I work 7 days a week now and have taken only 2 days off since the beginning of February! Crap!! I need to win the lotto.....Hmmm...although I never have the loonie to buy a ticket! Catch 22?

Anyway - enough bitching. I am around, just haven't had too much time for writing.

Peace out homes.........

well at last it's sunny here after weeks of cold and rain - it probably won't last but it's certainly very welcome! Hope yours looks up soon!

We had two days of sunshine and sweathigh tempatures. Now we are back to rain but atleast our temps go as high as 18 degrees celcius.

Yep, prize of everything is going up. Everybody blames it on the energy (electricity, oil) prizes going up but i just think people just profit if they see the chance.

Life is s**t

I hear ya, Laurie. It seems the weather is terribly messed up wherever you go. Parts of the U.S. are getting tons of rain. Other parts are dying for some precipitation. Tornadoes. There's a big snowstorm today in Montana. On June 11!

Gas is cheaper, relatively speaking, on this side of the border, but it's much more costly than before, and I live in an area which is rural--many miles between even the closest towns. Food costs, too. Somebody is robbing us with a cash register.

And on top of everything else, the Pens lost the Stanley Cup! Isn't life cruel sometimes?

Very funny Peter. YOU WANTED them to lose and all THREE of us know it....lol..
I am sorry but the weather here has been gorgeous. It was 93 today and a bit hot but not in my yard. Nice breeze and cool trees.
Well I have to drive everywhere in this town since this we are in the mountains and everything is five miles apart unless you live downtown. I still live 5 miles from the nearest store- all down hill which is uphill going back.
thankfully my little car gets good mileage and I consolidate every trip and take no needless ones.
Even if I do want pizza for dinner....
Come on down!
