Oldbroad, I'm really glad you didn't lose everything. That's always nasty, losing a stuffed freezer full of food, especially meat.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Well, we just had the Day from Heck.
Spent six hours in the Emergency Department, and a darned good thing we did, too. The Spousal Unit finally got around to telling me this morning about the swollen ankle and calf he's been suffering from for the last week. He's also been suffering intense leg pain for the last ten days but had assumed it was a neuropathy from chemo. Turns out it was a large blood clot. The doctor put him on thinners so hopefully it'll resolve itself .
I have to say, we saw some pretty bad behaviour in Emergency, and the staff -- every single one of them -- handled it all with humour and grace and kindness.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Yeah, it does never end -- which so far is a good thing. The alternative is much worse. This one has a solution, at least, and it will result in some pain reduction.
The Dudelebug has become obsessed with our balcony that looks out over the water. I guess the scents are absolutely intoxicating for the little guy, the ocean and the mink and racoons and our local resident bear, plus all the birds. Even if it's pouring and the wind is howling he goes out, comes in to get warm for five minutes, then goes out again. It's pretty funny. The running commentary is hilarious. He talks all the time, to us, to Willow, to the universe at large, little quiet hoots and chirrs and the odd little meow. I've noticed Willow doing it more, too. They talk to each other -- again, hilarious. They play together all the time now, racing around the house. Little joy-bringers in difficult times.

I've had blood clots in my legs a couple of times and twice they traveled to my lungs. For some reason I'm still alive. Trust me that I recognize that particular pain in my legs now! I am on blood thinners permanently. Hopefully his will resolve quickly. Mine did within a month or so.
I am laughing trying to imagine those two cats chirruping to each other! They probably have their own little language! So much fun...
Once again, weeds are my life!

It's good to be back........
I live in Hope BC and our internet and cable tv have been off since the evening of the 14th when we got cut off by all the landslides and floods Hagatha has written about, our power was off for over 24 hours and to start with we had no idea of what was going on, we had to go out and listen to the car radio to get any news, as we drove around Hope it was scary to see all the trapped people who could not find shelter living and sleeping in their cars.
It will be many months before some of the roads out of Hope can be fixed, (some are opened for a short time then closed again) the Coquihalla Highway, the main route to all places east, (that would be the rest of Canada) is a high mountain pass and it will be almost impossible to repair it in the snow of winter, I think it normally gets 8 to 10 feet of snow.
We are both safe and well, but the lose for many poeple is very sad to see.

Wow, copper. We are so relieved to hear you are OK. You were in the middle of it for sure. Been watching it unfold on the news and it's just devastating. And winter is upon you.

Copper, Hope is such a small town with so few services. I hope things will be okay for you. I saw all the flooding in Abbotsford and places south, but I wasn't aware that the main highway mountain passes were damaged, too. What an awful mess.
We know the highway well. Just south of Hope it can be a bit hairy anyway in the winter.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

We had a nice lazy rainy day here, a bit of gaming, some soccer, and now a Happy Hour with our neighbours. Another one of those moisture rivers is headed towards BC, so we can expect a lot of rain over the next week.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
