Day 137......Washing machine must be frozen.
3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
Yesterday I tried, like on Saturday, to do a wash and it just comes up error, on the machine panel. I suspect that there must be some frozen something, somewhere in its mechanism. Hopefully once it warms up, the machine will sort itself out and we will all have that clean underwear again. Writing that sentence, including clean knickers, I think that I already told you about the washer not working?
Is it something going on with me or with the house, that first my laptop and now the washer are refusing to perform for me?
I am still smiling though and glad that we don't have much laundry between the three of us, so waiting till next weekend will not see me having a mountain to wash.
My skype session could have gone better 'technically' too. There was loads of noise and squealing from computers at both ends and it made a consultation a tad difficult at times. I led her through a wee mediation but think my voice disappeared several times from her radar, which is not ideal. Plus, I think that my voice went into meditation-mode and probably lowered a few decibels. We did chat about how 'it was what it was' and she seemed to 'get' that.
I really enjoyed the session and would love to help loads of folk online, like that. Spread the word folks. Perhaps the Universe knew why it made me call myself 'Online' all those years ago. Up till now, I have done consults online but mostly they have been face to face. Perhaps my moving here whilst leaving all my contacts at home was to make the 'Online' bit come to life?
That sounds familiar too. Did I write that already? Mm? Lots of deja vu or is it memory-loss?
After the skype-consult, the girls and I headed out to the shops. They did some 'shopping' and I did some 'grocery-shopping'. Don't you just love a bargain? I do and I do love to compare prices in different stores. It can be gob-smacking.
Todays example will be a tin of quality street which is still on sale in Wamart for $16 (smaller than out tins in UK and that's about double the price) It was on sale in No frills last weekend for $8. I almost bought a tin but declined.
The Mall where we went is relatively close on the subway, although there is a longer walk from subway to store than the walk from my local store to the bus stop. The mall, however has Walmart and No Frills side by side so it's perfect for nipping in to see who has what at the best price. Walmart is not always the cheapest. Sunday is a zoo-day up there, though and I was standing in the line for checkout thinking that it really was a test for my patience. It's like Asda at Christmas and can be quite funny to watch, if you are in the mood.
On the way back in the subway, Jen decided that she'd head down to our local No Frills because they hadn't had any of her iced-tea at the big one (Sunday locusts at work) There were too many bags for Ali to go with her and she helped me lug the other groceries home. Jen was very lucky with her bus-catching and was home in less than half an hour, before dinner was ready.
It's great that she's happy going off on her own, now. Girl about town.
We watched the second Twilight movie and (again) I enjoyed it. I do so love the Jacob character and that's all I will say except that he reminds me of Andrews best pal in Scotland, which made it worse when he was sad.
Okay, Monday morning is here and the snow was falling whan I got up. Not sure whether or not it still is but I can tell you that detail tomorrow. I am off to visit Ross in an hour or so and ought to get myself organised. I may even manage to fit my meditation in, before I go.
I have to confess to missing my meditation yesterday. Often, when we have such a long subway journey, I do my meditation en-route but Ali and I just chatted yesterday and I wanted to do my 'AH' one anyway and she would have been mortified had I began chanting in the subway train. I smile even thinking about her moving seats to pretend she doesn't know me. I didn't remember that I had missed it until I curled up in my bed. Thinking I could do it then was a silly thought because I woke up this morning to remember that I had tried but don't remember getting much past bringing my attention to my breath. Ah well.
My sleep is still very fitful but, as before, I can report that it doesn't bother me. I have taken to leaving one of the blinds open and it lets me see the weather because of the streetlamp nearby. Twice I woke up and it was snowing. Twice I woke up and it was not. Both times I rolled over and went back to sleep.
Interesting stuff this, right?
Okay, gotta run.
Happy Monday. Have a great week.
Much Love,
Lxxxx
p.s. must take some more photos to post. Makes these look much nicer. x
