High Hopes

I find myself wanting to spend more and more time with Vero so when Philipp’s flight got canceled yesterday and subsequently left me with my car parked at Vero’s after work, I decided to stick around her place for dinner.  Vero usually gets home around 4:30 so I only had a half-hour wait.

I did decide to take a nap but lo and behold, I woke up around 6PM with no Vero around!  What the heck?  She must have been working overtime again!  I decided to leave and grab some St-Hubert on the way home but a few minutes into my dinner Vero calls and tells me she got out a little late and went to the grocery store.  Ah well.

After dinner I decided to tackle the challenge of cleaning the garage.  It has been looming over my head for many a month so I didn’t know how to approach it.  I don’t know what your cleaning methods are like, but I like to start on one end, throw all the excess junk out of it and have it a giant heap at the other end of the area I’m working in.  So by the time Mike came in to help, the front of the garage seemed decent enough and the back of the garage looked like a bomb went off.

We were done cleaning by the time Vero arrived and we went to Canadian Tire so I could buy a push broom.  Lucky for me that push brooms were 50% off this week and I managed to snag one for $12!  Case in point -> If you don’t need something RIGHT AWAY (I’ve gone many a year without a push broom) then it doesn’t make sense to buy one at regular price.  Eventually it will go on sale.

Heading home, we watched a few episodes of Veronica Mars and then headed to bed.  Tonight’s challenge – Clean the bedroom as the parents are coming up on Friday and will be staying there.  Why are the parents up?  Well, we are heading out on Saturday morning to go to Gaspe for the week for the Patterson family reunion.  That should be fun times although I keep hearing of more and more cousins dropping off the trip.  What used to be me seeing some cousins I haven’t seen in awhile has turned out to be me and the old folk.  I jest, there will be a few young folk there and really, I have become one of the old folk as well.
