To make the house smell less, and to consume more bacon more frequently we have taken to cooking our bacon out on the BBQ grill. I can also wait for the pan to cool, and scrape off the grease outside so as to not have to worry about that either. Straight into the green bin, never to have been inside! Far less tasteable smoke, and hanging grease in the air, or particles on the stove top, and upper cabinets. I also don’t seem to get spattered anywhere as much out by the bbq than standing over a frying pan at the stove. Far preferable if you ask me.

I think today is Wednesday. Atleast I hope it is otherwise I may miss a fairly important event. Or could miss one if I lose track of Friday. I’m supposed to grab my inlaws from the airport when they come back from the Florida Keys. Can’t forget about them! They are a tad important to next months plans! Crucial even.

I bought a bunch of cereal recently  ut I can’t eat it because the dairy and fiber will both set me off in equal measure. Perhaps some plain toast with nothing on it would help. Although I did have a nice bit of chicken & fish yesterday which don’t seem to have had any after effects. Noice!

I recently sat down to watch the Austin Butler, and Tom Hanks led Elvis movie, found on Netflix. Besides hating Tom Hanks’ character and voice (choices were made) it was a tremendous film. Like a biopic on lsd. Hyper saturated colours, frenetic pace, cgi transitions of a zany sort, and incredible music. Tip of the hat to them both. To Austin Butler for doing a truly tragic rendition of Elvis with all its heart and soul, and to Tom Hanks for making me hate him with a passion. Bravo.  Well done. I might just watch it again some time soon. I’m a fan.

Otherwise today is Tuesday, garbage day, and I have no plans to be anywhere today. Did a lot of running around yesterday. All told spent nearly six hours in the car driving all around. The kids were champs about it. I give them props for being so well behaved for so long.

March Break is here, and all the things are busy. May need to rethink the Kung Fu Panda 4 experience, as I fear it will be rammed full of sickly kids with coughs, colds, sore throats, and runny noses & fevers. That’s how I see crowds now. Not as people, but as vectors for pathogens I don’t want to catch or track home with us. Yuck. So gross. And I used to sit elbow to elbow with these people and just roll the dice on catching a flu, cough or cold. Craziness. Ewwww!

A week today and I get my MRI results! Take care out there. Ciao Bella.

Those long sleeved SPF rated swim shirts that are Wick dry and all that jazz. I hate how it feels to be slathered in sun screen, so it’s lovely to avoid that with a shirt. They apparently make them with hoods now too. I don’t know if I’d go that far. Maybe if I was a fishing kinda guy and spent hours looking down at the water from a boat. Neat idea. I can spray my neck, ear tips, nose and cheeks. That’s not a problem. I just hate the bodily oily feeling. Dust and grit sticks to everywhere. Yuck. I wonder if our summer with have a high UV score this year, as that’s what will get you. Sun burns that hurt for days on end suck. Best to avoid those these days. Welcome to Monday after the time change! Boy 9:00am came around awful quickly huh? Nice to have sunlight until almost 7pm though. March Break is here! Rejoice.

My innards have other plans. Story of my life as of late. Had to skip two day trips because I knew I’d desperately need a rush pitstop every 15-30 minutes and the destination were atleast 90 minutes away. Grr. Thanks rotten guts, I love you too. I even missed a spectacular sunset because of my intestinal distress. I hope to catch the next one with my camera in hand, and not a roll of toilet paper instead.

In other news I get the results of my MRI in another week, so perhaps that will shed some new light on my current predicament. We’ll have to wait and see.

The WFH movement proved without a doubt just how superfluous most supervisory and management positions actually were, and that fact threatened a lot of people who derived their power from lording over the lowly worker bee a crumb of institutional power, and turned that into a multi billion dollar leash that higher ups were convinced they had to keep. But when productivity increased, and worker happiness increased as those supervisors were kept out of the lowly worker bees lives, management panicked and tried to tighten their grip, but that’s what weak ineffectual people do, and it rippled about the world. They tighten their grip because they shall soon lose it! Rejoice for they shall soon join the ranks of the lowly worker bee or perish.

Happy saturday.

Though our winter has been mild I do constantly day dream about going back to visit my inlaws place in the Keys. Beach side, near the mouth of a canal. The “NoSee’ems” are a bitey pain in the ass, but the weather and sand are hard to beat. March Break starts tonight. A week alone  with the goblins should prove to be fun. Let us hope the weather continues to hold out. No skiing or snowboarding this year. Although, saying that, we could bust out the bicycles and skateboards, or even free up the hockey net and play some road hockey! Score.

Hard to not think about fun vacations when you are in & out of the can with distressed guts. If flying didn’t also upset my innards I’d be out and about to the beaches as much as humanly possible. I do love an all inclusive resort with heavily poured Rum daiquiris, white sand beaches, and king sized beds. 

Have a great Friday. I hear that Kung Fu Panda #4 is out this weekend too. I imagine I’ll wind up taking both kids to go see it once this weekends crowds die down just a bit. I would think it’ll be a popular destination for folks with children off for the break. So even the off times next week will probably still be full.

Take care out there. Ciao Bella.

Keeping this short and sweet, as I have a nasty belly this morning. We’ve reached Thursday, and soon March Break will be here! Let us hope for a less upset stomach by then. Ciao Bella!

Late Saturday night, early Sunday the clock will go back to day light savings time and the first week of commuting will be very dangerous, full of tired and weary travelers who haven’t gotten through a cup of coffee yet. Although I immediately enjoy having sunshine later on in the evenings, I’m none to keen on being more tired than I already am. Getting the kids out of bed for school after the march break will prove to be an aggravating challenge aswell. Initially they won’t be tired enough to fall asleep, but conversely will be too tired to wake up and get ready for school. You see how that works, how it sucks so much on either end? Yeah? Whee! Kids are a lot of fun. Kids and time changes, jet lag, travel, and different beds and night time routines, are all kinds of crazy, and interesting fun.

Lots to do around here in preparation for our march break plans. Things to do, people to see, vehicles to shuffle around, and lots of stuff to clean. Should be a fun week ahead. Ciao Bella.
