HI JAN

Hi JAN. Hey everyone this is Jan. He, yes he - Jan is a boy cat, that lives in our neighbourhood. Just like the whole wack of other cats that do. There's a big population of cats around here these days. Anyways, Jan is actually a bit of a special cat. First off - he's got a cool name, it's even an expat name I think. (I wonder how he got that) The cat that lives at our house likes him. (weird) He's got a real full length tail. (even more weird) And he's got beautiful ginger and white hair. (even his eyes match) Too cool. I think somebody should adopt him - don't you?

Finally (as you can see) got the internet back again yesterday - late afternoon. Yeah! For how long? We'll just have to wait and see. I'm rushing with this morning's post though - just in case.

Yesterday ended up being one of those kind of days. One of those days that I did a whole bunch of things I didn't plan to do - but worked out just fine anyways. Took care of a bunch of that procrastination stuff yesterday. You know the stuff you really should be doing - but - way easier to just put it off for another day. Seriously kicked a bunch of that in the butt yesterday.

....... oh, and just so you know - the roof didn't leak. Not yet anyways. Saving that for another day. We do have some pretty mushy looking patches in the ceiling though. What's life without a little bit of excitement? eh?

TODAY: All kinds of plans for today - making up for all the stuff I didn't do yesterday. Starting with a lunch. One of my friends really, really needs a lunch day. She's a very busy lady these days and could just use a couple hours to just escape and get away.

All kinds of events coming up over the next couple of days. We have a dinner (BBQ) party to go to tonight, and, with that in mind - we're off to shake up the world today.

Ok, Thursday. Let's roll!

Good to Go!

FEELS LIKE MONDAY

Feels like Monday all over again. Snuck up on me and now here it is.

Thank you for inventing the Internet. (and the backpack) Although we're still having all kinds of issues with it (the usual ones - like it doesn't work most of the time), it's still number 1. And because of that I got to do the face to face Skype thing with one of my favorite sons (and some other special people too) - now if I could just do that with the other favorite one.

Note: The backpack. Ever noticed how almost everyone in the world has one?

So Me and the other Me had a really nice weekend (together). Spent more than 24 hours together in the same house. (been awhile since we got to do that) Nice. Quite likely a quiet precursor of what's to come. Busy days ahead, comings and goings for both of us - unfortunately though, not the same time or the same place.

How the weekend went. (not necessarily in any order)

:: Fed the cat.
:: Started a new book. (starts with Dear Mr. Premier - so far a good book)
:: Fell in love with the Apple TV and listened to music all afternoon.
:: Went to a Farewell Party.
:: Found out there's going to be another Farewell Party here real soon, and another one.
:: Drank too much wine. (again) (and, by now you'd think I'd know better than that)
:: Sprayed for ants. (again)
:: Booked a hotel room. (and confirmed)
:: Picked up plane tickets.
:: Listened to my favorite hockey team loose a Playoff Game over the Internet. (sad, sad, sad - so sad)
:: Crawled into bed and watched a movie in the middle of the afternoon. (enjoyed that)
:: And had an nap. (enjoyed that too)
:: Fed the cat. (again)
:: Ate too many perogies. (yes, I can cook)
:: Invented sour cream. (not really) (but I'd like to think I did - at least now I know how it's done, so simple in fact)
:: Watched F1. (and yet again J. Button is #1)
:: Fed the cat. (fat cat)

Ah, the ducks - at Manggar Beach. You can rent them. Like that's going to save your life out in the sea. I think NOT. But I bet their a whole lot of fun. I'd love to see them all out in the water together - all 30+ of them.

TODAY: Given that I pretty much did whatever I liked over the weekend - my Monday is now stacked up with a whole bunch of stuff I need to do (note, not want to). And with any luck, today I might even get my hair done.

Ok, gotta run.

Good to Go!
