Dreaming.In.Reality

so been bustling about all day getting ready to go on vacation.. we spent a good amount of time earlier today out at rona/canadian tire/walmart, trying to find irrigation spike thingies for our houseplants.. and could we find them? oh god no*L* so we have this odd “wick” contraption thing going on with our houseplants, some buckets and some scraps of cloth…

was just in the kitchen chopping veggies to have with our sammiches tomorrow.. sort of using up things that will be going bad over the next few days.. and i kept hearing this booming and rumbling.. the first time i heard it, it was passed off as a motorcycle, then i thought it was thunder, and then i realized.. no, those are fireworks! who the hell is setting off big booming fireworks? and then.. i remembered the Casino du Lac Leamy Sound of Light is happening over in Hull, Quebec.. and if i peered far enough to the right outside my kitchen window.. i could see some of the bigger explosions.. i really dislike hearing them, and not being able to see them.. we went last year to it.. but i was in some discomfort.. well a LOT of discomfort.. i was in the beginning owie stages of a root canal.. and i was tired, in pain , crabby and just not in the mood.. not to mention, the battery on the camera was going dead.. and i couldn’t get any fireworks pictures… the finale is on my birthday.. i just dropped a huge not so subtle hint to k about it*L*

i’m really looking forward to going away.. it will be quite nice, to just have some quiet time, without k stressing about work, the phone ringing, the computers, etc.. just a lot of reading, fishing, walks, pictures, mmm and movies.. because k’s mum loaned us her laptop to store our photos on, so that we’d not run out of space on our film cards.. and weeeeeeeeee it has a dvd player.. and of course will play mp3s.. so now we have our own wee theatre system…

I shall see you all sometime on the 4th.. have a great next week/weeekend.. be safe and all that stuff..
