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!

oh what fun..

my mom's best friends son got into a serious car accident on saturday morning in edmonton... so they rushed to edmonton to be there.. for the next two weeks im at their place watching their dogs.. and for about 4months i will be there off and on to take care of the dogs.. plus side to this.. i get full use of her car for 4 months...

i will not complain!

kari's been staying with me during this dog sitting.. i think hes seeing what its like to live together.. this is what i think.. or the fact i drive his ass to work.. im gonna go with that one. ahah.. oh hes such a mooch.. i likes it!

works kinda boring today.. one can only clean for so long....

im thirsty... maybe a quick jaunt to robins for a beverage.. could be arranged.

christmas dinner and christmas party saturday.. gonna be a busy day thats for sure..

i should move the car back into my spot that jim stole earlier... freakin jim!

my grandma

my grandma is in the hospital...

the medication that her heart doctor told her to take to raise her heart pressure.. was actually lowering it...

her leg swelled up... a lot.

they're keeping her there until her heart rate is back up to normal....

i plan to visit her tomorrow at lunch.. because its the only time ill be able to see her.

my mom speculates my grandma wont be around for very long.. im hoping she'll hold out for another few years.. but i guess time will only tell....

I love that woman a lot.. and it makes me sad every time i think of her not being here.. :(

tonight i get a kari free night! YES! lol which means i get my whole bed to myself! awesome i know!

dont get me wrong i do enjoy his company.. but sometimes i girl needs her whole bed!!....

im hungry and im too tired and lazy to actually make supper.. but i should....because if i dont eat ill complain...

ugh!

Im a little upset with my father.. for some odd reason my dad who i saw the day before my birthday has forgotten it was my birthday! i did not receive a phone call or even a text from him saying happy birthday. im not happy with him.. i sent him a text saying this too... cant believe someone would forget their own child's bday.. he was there the day i was born!!

tomorrow osap is taking the 557.. though i only have 520 in my account.. i had to dig into my car fund.. took out 350 because well.. i need a bus pass/food and 37 for osap.
im hoping it goes through.. if not i will need to borrow this from my mom..

my boss took the key to the bathroom.. so i had francis drive me to robins so i could pee..

im bored.. i wants work!

oh birthday

my dad offered to give me one of the three trucks he owns... im actually considering taking him up on this offer... the truck would be older.. but to get me to and from work safely without being killed would be a good thing...

guess next time i talk to him i shall mention that i will.. good thing is.. trucks are already safetied...

today is my birthday... i am 27.. yet i dont feel 27...
when my mom was this age she had 2 children already.. i have 0! though i do hope to have children by the time im 35... so i better get on that soon...
first ill have to change my priorities....

im hungry and i dont feel like working... i have nothing to do just yet..

i hope i gets work... if not.. maybe they can let me leave early.. i could work my other job....

anyways i shall go....

le snow.

birthday gathering was fun! i enjoyed it..

im also finding I rather sleep than party right now.. but that could be because I work 3 jobs... it does take a lot out of me....

which reminds me i need to get my 50.00 from sportop monday...

im tired. and im watching 80s movies.

kari got me a winnipeg jets hoodie and mug thing. :) so im a jets fan now :) the hoodie has the old logo on it

80s

listening to 80s music... music that was made during the time of my birth... none of it i remember... lol

oh super store...

i have saturday off now..

which means i can party late!
yes!

except i may have to work 130-10.. but im hoping it can be changed to 5-10...

our hours are being cut big time at the store.. which sucks... i just hope i can hold off till march.. i need my 750!!

transit drivers...

I have sent in a email complaint about the driver of the junot 9 bus who likes to drive past me...

like last week.. this week she did the same thing.. then claimed she didnt see me.. I was wearing a white coloured jacket! i was visible!

im so sick and tired of transit! its one thing after another with them!

im at the point where i really want and need a vehicle.

oh super store...

the joys of having your other job cut back hours.. is it may yet so i can quit it?

its snowing.. which is fine.. except when walking down central.. i swear one of these days i may get hit by a car.

christmas is coming soon.. i always dread christmas.. too much work.. too many family gatherings.. too many questions from family.. gets old and annoying...

all i want is crazy bread right now!!!

im kinda bored.. i should be doing more productive work but its friday and i just dont care :)

i kinda want to go on an adventure somewhere.. i really would like to go to duluth.. its been over a year.. thunder bay is boring me at the moment. its days like this i wish i had a car.... maybe i can leave work at 430 today.. considering i did start at 8am! though i highly doubt thatll work.

i wonder where gibblet is.. i havent seen him since 1030...

dave (my boss) bought a van.. why i do not know.. he claims its for me to do some running around... we'll see about that.. be even cooler if i got to take said van home.. would save me from being hit on central...

kari is coming over tonight.. were bbqing some burgers tonight...

i think he needs to wear his glasses more... he looks older.. and they make him look hotter.. just saying.

10 days till my bday..

1 week till the party.. guess i should look into 80s styles for my bday.. i plan to wear my beastie boys shirt.. it is 80s! lol anyways off to work i go.... lol

After not going to the dentist in three years I can happily say I have zero cavities! I must be doing something right :)
Though I need to floss more.... It's a habit I suck at keeping...,

today must be my bad day..

nothing seems to be going my way today.

first the bus driver decides to drive past me while i was standing at the bus stop.. ends up stopping up a ways after she realized she passed me... bitch. then she doesnt stop at copper cresent when the bus ding goes off.. i was so annoyed.

second i uploaded a file for work to these guys to print and its corrupted.. said file wont save on this piece of shit computer because its a Windows one and sucks ass.. so tonight i have to try and save said file again on my mac and make sure it can be opened.. then re-send again..

thirdly i had this cool design i was working on and i went to save said file.. then the computer crashes...

i think tomorrow im bringing thee mac to work.. im sick of windows!

i also have to go to the dentist.. lets hope nothing bad happens there...

Kari should wear glasses more often... I likes it!

..

have you ever looked at someone and thought to yourself "ya i can see myself spending the rest of my life with that person"
