Toilet paper 2

How many times have we told dad not to reuse toilet paper? Now he hides it in the cabinet that stores new rolls of new toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes!
Gross!
I can't deal with him anymore!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! (^_^)

Peeps

There are tons of junk food reviews lined up, but since it's Easter, I'm letting this jump the line.

Peeps are yellow marshmallow chicks. Wow, they have their own page on Wiki! Not sure if it's an Easter special since I haven't seen them locally until now. Or maybe I simply wasn't paying attention? I remember seeing something on TV a few years ago... perhaps on Food Network? Some kind of special truck passing them out for free or something. They looked good and must be good! But... but... Aaargh!!! It's a trap!!! I was soooo disappointed. It's too sweet with no flavour. Not even sure if it's sugar or corn syrup. Nothing special. The yellow dye turns me off too. By the way, the marshmallow is white. The yellow comes from coloured sugar sprinkled on the outside. Here's a tour of the Peeps factory if you're interested... and here's a Peeps lip balm. Hmm... looks like it's kind of famous.

Good Friday

Nope, I didn't go to Aberdeen Center. This was taken a few days ago.

Ophthalmologist

(Image has nothing to do with subject.)
Took dad to his ophthalmologist appointment today and found out he's got age-related macular degeneration. Well... he's 86 after all. Apparently his condition was bad enough for the doctor to give him laser treatment right away. After that, the 2 small bottles of eye drops he needs cost just under $80. Robbery!

The clinic was disproportionally short in chairs with mostly seniors waiting. The wait time was over half an hour. I was uncomfortable hanging around and ended up walking across the street to a dollar store in Metrotown, to continue hunting for cheap material for Miki's doll stuff. All the info about dad was related to me through mom later, but she tends to exaggerate. Hmm... perhaps I should have stayed.

Dad was reusing toilet paper again. How many time have we told him not to? Does he just not want to listen, or completely forgotten common sense?

And... he answered a phone call (a very rare thing) with the caller asking for mom. She was out picking up the eye drops. Dad seemed to know the caller and talked for a bit. 5 minutes later I asked him who called. He couldn't remember.

And... somehow he cut all the bananas loose. Don't know why. Now we can't hang them. Great...

He has the weird habit of opening the front door and look outside for a bit before locking the door every night. Tonight he did it twice.

Yesterday mom asked him to hang the finished laundry on the laundry line, but he put everything back into the washing machine instead.

Sigh... the fact that he's still up and running is amazing for his age, but all these things are too much for me to deal with.

Airport

Had to make a detour to pick up the bee stuff at the office, so things didn't go as planned. Nevertheless managed to use up all the 50% off Michael's coupons. Thanks Andrew! (^_^)

Didn't know that you can get coins from a bank machine.

There's a dollar store named Everything Under a Dollar. (Not at the airport, though.)

Strawberry cheese cake Kitkat

Thanks Sora again! Very similar to the blueberry flavour, this one tastes more like cough syrup. (Actually the blueberry does too, but only a tiny little bit.)
