no facebook, no more flood.

so im on a facebook break.. a break where i only go on facebook once a week. i use this time to do other things besides sitting in front of the computer facebook stalking the masses... the first few days were hard because i was just aching to get on.. now i just dont care. i can do without facebook. this weekend me and the kari are renting a car to do fun things for our 1yr anniversary of dating. though he has to work the actual day of it(july 1st) we still plan on doing something. saturday we plan to visit our friends who just had a baby a few weeks ago. then monday we plan to go to the terrace bay area to scope out some hiking trails. should be fun :) not sure what he wants to do sunday night or saturday night... maybe i can rid of him that night haha ya.. flood is no more. though my insurance company wont pay for any of it. but i do get to apply for the disaster relief thing, so i will be doing that. house has been cool considering its been very warm lately so thats good. work is boring, and yesterday my computer at work contracted a virus so we had to reboot the whole thing, it now work but now we have to re install all the programs. not much else.

the great flood of 2012

yesterday i woke up at 6am to hear the radio say many people had flooding in their basements... i figured.. nah mines fine.. was fine the other day when we had lots of rain.. but i just had to check... i looked.. there had to have been a foot of water in there... i freaked out.. i didnt know what to do... so i called my mom crying.. she told me not much i can do because of the large amount of rain. so then i hear a little while after the water treatment plant by my house had backed up. then i was like wow.. thats great.. cant flush, cant use water... this sucks! i then discover the ceiling in my laundry room is majorly warped.. went to work anyways... was kinda on freak out mode most of the day because i was unsure if it got worse or what was going on.. cause i was hearing reports that others in the area were getting up to 5ft of water... at lunch i checked.. was still the same.. went down to half an inch.. power still on.. everything good. went to work... called my insurance company.. he tried to say oh its probably not sewage backup.. but how could it not be...when everyone else in the east end has sewage back up!!! i bet it is.. he also tried to say that the rain didnt cause the damage on my roof.. but i bet it did.. because i seriously can not afford to get a new roof... also my furnace may have gotten water... which i needed a new one anyways :P then i hear rumors they are evacuating people.. so at 430 i went home.. still had power.. water was still the same. everyone else was barging water out on my street except me and the 3 neighbours near me.. i believe we all had dug out basements! i feel for those who lost a lot.. even their houses due to this flood.. in a way im glad that my flooding wasnt that bad.. i guess having a dugout basement has its perks! though not being able to shower or flush sucks.. or cooking... oh well excuse to eats junks and pizza :) anyways i must go find me some foods! i can say that the water is no more in my dugout.. :)

and its a....

brother and his gf found out what they are having..

its a boy!

my mom also sent me the pic of it..

tuesday

i put my mom on the task to find a decent price on a shit tonne of top soil for my backyard.. hopefully she does it.

this weekend it looks like me and kari will be cleaning it up... theres a lot of random stuff and dog shit.. and it just looks horrible! plus it kinda stinks... the neighbours will probably be very happy.

got my bed set up last night.. i was so glad to sleep in it.. i also had both cats sleeping with me..

fish tank is also done and the back porch.. i gotta do something about that door.. i think i may move the extra screen door at the front of the house to the back.

so far i havent seen or heard any mice in the house.. they probably left when the cats came into the house.

tonight i plan to finish the tile in the kitchen. and maybe empty a few more boxes of stuff..

not much else.

so i has a house...

at the end of feburary i became a house owner..

got me a house for 39,500.

it needs some cosmetic work.. but im actually enjoying doing all of it.
i love seeing the end result.. so far with new paint colours it looks 100% better..

tonight im doing the tile in the kitchen.. its just that peel and stick stuff... im cheap.. itll work!

tomorrow i move as well as getting my kitchen counters ready.

then im taking a break from house renos

my next plan.. the backyard... it needs major cleaning.. and i need to put some new soil down because theres gravel in there.. why i dont know.. but i want to have grass!! and a garden!

ill do all of that once the ground is dry and un frozen.. then its time to buy a shit tonne of grass seed and soil!

2012...

i guess i should update...

I start into recent stuff i guess...

1. my grandma is the st joe's at the moment in rehab.. she went into emerg dec 27 due to being very sick with what everyone thought was the flu.. turns out it was a UTI... she ended up going for hip surgery.. turns out she has an infection in her leg... she got a cast in it with anitbiotics to fight said infection.... in 3 months she goes back for the actual surgery as i was told. shes doing fine! saw her on her bday :)

2. brother gets gf pregnant.. so far she's still pregnant.. just to clarify brother is 24 so is his gf.. so its not like hes 18... he's at an age he can be somewhat responsible... though hes my brother.. who i sometimes call an idiot.

3. Kari quits sportop.. it was too much for him.. was giving him lots of stress that he was actually getting sick from it.. he was also taking out his anger on me..and we got into a little spat on friday.. we worked things out and everything is fine in the world of michelle and kari...

4. today i went to see if i could get a mortgage because i decided recently that i wanted to get a house instead of a car... so turns out i can! i can get a 50,000 mortgage.. i apparently have a good credit score :) so now i have to keep an eye out for cheap-o houses! :)

other than that.. thats all i has...

until next time...

I'm going to be an aunt.

My brother got his gf pregnant!

This is exciting news!
