December 31, 1989
Samantha woke up at four o’clock for her feeding. Charlie got up as well, he said he couldn’t sleep. Samantha and I went to sleep after her feeding.
Samantha woke up again at eight o’clock. After he feeding I had a shower and got dressed. Then I slept until her next feeding which was at eleven o’clock.
After I had fed Samantha we went out looking for a house. We looked in Port Coquitlam but I wasn’t too impressed with the houses. Actually the houses aren’t too bad, it’s just the way the area is kept. Then in Coquitlam it’s too expensive, most houses are over $230,0000. It sure is getting depressing I want so much to have our own place.
We stopped at Video stop to rent a movie and of course Alex wanted to rent a game. Alex rented Bugs Bunny game. It was pretty good more for a younger child. Alex got up to level 17 the first time he played.
I fed Samantha when we got home and Charlie put on the roast. When I had put Samantha back to her crib, I put the potatoes around the roast. We ate dinner at five thirty.
I went for a nap at seven o’clock and woke up at nine thirty when Samantha woke up as well.
We watched the video and waited for the New Year to come in. It’s now 12:05 a.m. I’ll be going to bed soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s hard to believe the 80’s are gone already.
Samantha woke up at three o’clock but she didn’t seem hungry to me so I gave her a smoother. She went back to sleep and woke up again at six o’clock.
Samantha woke up again at ten o’clock. After I had put her back to her crib I had a shower and got dressed. I’m feeling a bit better today. On December 29th my vision became blurred for about ten minutes. It cleared and left me with a headache. Then on December 30th and 31st I was so tired I had to have a nap or two. This morning I felt rather dizzy but not so tired.
I gave Samantha a bath at her next feeding. After her feeding we went to Maple Ridge to look at houses. The first complex we went to the houses were quite nice but the new houses are $194,000. The second complex I didn’t care for too much. It seemed too congested to me.
We got home at four o’clock. I fed Samantha shortly after we got home.
We ate dinner at five thirty. After dinner I put away the laundry and put a load on to wash.
We all played a Turtle game, as usual Alex yelled at us for not jumping or doing something at the right time.
Alex went to bed at eight o’clock. I wrote in the journal. It’s now nine o’clock. I’ll be going to bed soon.

Samantha woke up at six thirty, eleven, two, six and eight thirty.
We went to see a house on Cove Place yesterday. It’s $217,0000 quite a nice house with a big lot. Just what we’re looking for. We made an offer and Lex presented the offer. He came back last night with a counter offer, they won’t go any lower than $217,000. I phoned Mom and Dad to tell them that the deal had fallen. They offered to give us the $7,000 as part of my inheritance. I thanked them very much and told them how much we appreciated it.
I left Charlie a message that night as to what had happened. The next morning we made a counter offer. Charlie thought it over very carefully and talked to Dad. He asked Dad for his help in case he needed a financial assistance. Dad said he would.
By that time Lex told us the counter offer had been accepted. He said we would have to act fast as the possession date is January 11th. We’ll have a lot to do the next couple of days.

Samantha woke up at five o’clock. She sure isn’t feeling good. She has a cold as well as a cough. Samantha was quite bad last night. She had a temperature of 38.3C, so I gave her Tempra. Unfortunately I can’t give her cold medicine like I give Alex.
We both went back to sleep after her feeding. Samantha woke up for her next feeding at ten o’clock. Her temperature was 37.3C, I gave Sam another dose of Tempra. When I finished feeding her I made an appointment with the doctor. The receptionist said to come between two thirty and four thirty.
After I had put Samantha back to her crib I had a shower, got dressed and had my breakfast. Then I made the beds and tided the upstairs.
By that time it was time for lunch and to feed Sam again. We left at two forty five. Charlie had already left for work. He did a lot of running around today. Mostly signing papers re the mortgage and he gave Lex the business card of the lawyer.
We had to wait a long time to see the doctor but Samantha was good. She feel asleep after awhile. Alex was more of the problem. He wasn’t able to sit still for one second!
Dr. C checked Samantha. She said she could hear something in her chest. It could be the start of bronchitis. She asked me if Samantha was lethargic and had a temperature. I said what do you mean by that. She said if she has become tired, doesn’t eat very well and has a temperature. I told her Sam had a temperature yesterday of 38.3C but she was okay other than that. Samantha was quite cranky yesterday.
Dr. C said her chest isn’t that bad but with the color of the discharge in her nose it would be advisable to start her on antibiotics. I asked her if it would be okay if I gave Samantha Tempra if she had a temperature. Dr. C said yes but watch how Samantha is. Dr. C said to give Samantha the medication for ten days and she wants to see Sam in one week.
We made an appointment for next Friday at 4:10 p.m. Then we went to London Drugs to get the medication. After that we went to the Drive through at McDonald’s and came home. Alex ate dinner while I fed Samantha. I also gave her the medicine which she doesn’t seem to like. Some of the medicine came out of her mouth.
I phoned Mom to tell her I had gotten the cheque this afternoon. Then I had dinner and cleaned up the kitchen.
Samantha didn’t sleep that well, it’s hard for her to breath very well. I fed her again at nine thirty, she went back to her crib at ten thirty.
I keep telling Alex not to get too close but he doesn’t listen to me. If he gets it he’ll be in trouble. I don’t know who would stay with him.
I wrote in the journal until eleven thirty. I’m going to bed.

January 6, 1990
I woke up quite a few times to check on Samantha. She slept until eight forty five. That was rather amazing but Charlie said it was probably the medicine that made her sleep.
Samantha was really hungry, she ate for about fifteen minutes.
I had a shower, got dressed and had my breakfast in between her feedings.
Samantha ate again at eleven fifteen, she ate for about fifteen minutes again. So the two feedings were like three feedings.
We went to Toronto Dominion Bank to get our bonds. Then we went to Van City Credit Union where we cashed in our bonds. We asked whether the RRSP would come out on time or not. I explained it was for the payment of our house we had recently bought. The clerk checked, she said it usually takes ten days for it to be done so it was cutting it pretty close. Then she said it should be in our account on January 9th. If it wasn’t we should phone and it could be done that day. Then we asked about the Fire Insurance policy that the lawyers said we had to take out payable to Van City. We were told it had to do with the mortgage. They won’t give you the mortgage without house insurance. The fire insurance pays off the mortgage first so Van City doesn’t get stuck with the mortgage. The clerk outlined a rough copy of how much the insurance would be on the house we’re buying. It’ll be $232 plus $50 for earth wake insurance. Charlie said he would let him know on Monday.
We came home, I put Samantha into her crib. Charlie and Alex went grocery shopping. At four o’clock I fed Samantha and at five o’clock I gave her her medicine. I had given it to her this morning at nine thirty.
When they came home they had brought a pizza home from Save On Foods.
After dinner I cleaned up the kitchen, did the dishes and wrote in the journal.
Alex and I wrote a letter to Grandma and Grandpa thanking them for his and Sam’s Christmas presents.
It’s nine o’clock I’ll be feeding Samantha soon and going to bed.
