I woke up just after eight o’clock. Charlie wants me to go to Lumberland, they have a Grand Opening sale. I had a shower and got dressed. I phoned Dad and asked him if he would like to come with us. I thought it would do them both good to be away from each other. They’ve been quite short with each other. Dad said he would and asked what time. I said I would pick him up at nine thirty.
I made Alex his breakfast and told him to get dressed when he was finished. Alex had his first chocolate from his Advent Calendar that Grandma gave him.
We picked Dad up at nine thirty and arrived at Lumberland at nine forty five. It was jammed packed. The line up for the cashiers were a couple of blocks long. Dad figured it would take four hours for them to go through. The items I was looking for were sold out. That was lucky I don’t think I could have stayed in the line up that long!
We went to Westwood mall afterwards I wanted to get Alex’s hair cut. We went to Toppy’s but they said we would have to wait half an hour. We walked around the mall. Alex bought Pa his present. Dad said he lost his glasses somewhere, I gave him my keys for my car to see if they were there. He came back and said they weren’t there. We went to the Sandwich Tree, Alex had a sandwich while Dad and I had a donut. We went back to Toppy’s and they were ready to take Alex. Alex was good as usual, he sat very still. It sure makes it easier on the hairstylist.
We went to the drycleaners and came home. Alex watched TV while I wrapped Pa’s present. Kurt phoned and asked Alex to come over. Then he phoned back and asked Alex to bring something with him.
Alex wasn’t too happy about going without me but he went anyways. I reorganized a couple of shelves in the kitchen and washed a load of dishes that had dust on them from just sitting on the shelves.
Charlie came home at four o’clock. At five o’clock I phoned the Andrew’s to tell them to send Alex home.
We went to Lee’s Restaurant for dinner then we went to Save-On-Foods.
When we got home we listened to the news. They had a report that really disturbed me. They said the Government has put out a warning to stop eating shellfish, prawns and crabs. We had just eaten prawns for dinner. They said the pulp mills when they bleach the paper products, they dump the chemicals into the river which is absorbed into the shellfish. The chemical is called Dioxin. It can cause problems in the immune systems, the liver and birth defects. It really makes you wonder why people abuse the earth this way. I feel people should care more about what they are doing with all these chemicals. For me when I’m cleaning I don’t use any chemical cleaners except to clean the sofa. If there was something else to use I would. When I’m cleaning the bathroom I use baking soda. I use baking soda and vinegar for cleaning the floors. I use a damp cloth for cleaning the furniture.
I worked on the puzzle which seems to be coming a long. Alex got ready for bed at eight o’clock. I watched TV and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
