Microwave stand (2)

Finally wrapped up the construction. Nailed the flimsy cardboard backing on. Yup, so flimsy, the kit provided so many nails. The first nail went through the bottom. Sob sob sob... (T_T)

Oh well, at least this thing isn't as wobbly as before and I can finally feel more comfortable putting stuff on it. It's surprising to see how much difference the backing makes despite its flimsiness.

But I still don't want to install the wheels. No need anyway. (Just too much hassle to have to clean underneath, haha.)

Canada line

First time riding it since it opened about a month ago. Thanks Andrew. It was interesting.

I agree the platforms are too small. The only way to move more people is to increase frequency, since they can't run longer trains. The stations are also shockingly small. What happens when the population grows? Did they even consider that? Or is it cheaper to run more trains than build bigger stations?




If you're on a wheel chair, go make a phone call when there's a fire? (In fact, yes!)
"Way out" instead of "exit"??? Are we stupid??? Why can't they use "exit"??? Argh!!!

Wind

(Picture is leftover from yesterday and has nothing to do with subject.)
Rainy. Windy. Sunny. Overcast. Everything. Of course my body doesn't like it.

Cousin K from San Jose will be visiting for a week in early October. Looks like she wants to see my dad before his surgery. The specialist's appointment is at the end of October. Then he goes on holiday in November. Not sure when he's back. But surgery is for sure after that.

Aneurysm (5)

Last of the tests for now. Appointment at 1:15pm. Today was the CT scan from shoulder to feet. Same routine, fasting, dye injection, then scan. Since no one's allowed into the room, I was a bit concerned that dad might scratch his face or cough like last time and there would be no one to stop him. (You're not supposed to move when scanning.) The nurse didn't say anything at the end. I guess things went OK. Good.

Mug

Dad started to isolate my mug. I think when the time comes when he fails to recognize his family, I'd be the first to go.

Can't stand when he goes around and "reorganizes" things and place the water bottles in a lump, stack the spoons and drape the dish cloth over the bowls so they can't dry. Common sense is long gone. And he drips pee even more. Smells 10 times worse then the stinkiest public washroom. Yuck... (T_T)

Another month

(Picture has nothing to do with subject.)
Last push before my boss' trip. Next work day will be at least a month later. She's going the Japan show in the second half of November so I won't get a full month's work in October. Will I be able to cover July's car repair bill before this year ends? (T_T)

Back and shoulders are so numb, I can't feel tough or heat. Tends to take overheated showers. Bad. Apparently might have caused the eczema on my upper arms.

Vam

(Picture has nothing to do with subject.)
Of course it chooses the worst day. I can't afford to miss any work, so I must go heavily drugged.

Sore eyes sore neck sore shoulders sore back sore hips. Well technically speaking, it's different from pain since the brain has turn off the signal. Everything just feels so wrong...
