Pillow

Hair lost gets worse. Don't want to admit it, but looks like I'm under stress...

Bald patches have appeared. (T_T) (T_T) (T_T)

Chiropractor, aneurysm

Finally! Aaaaaah~ What a relieve. I really need it.

Not before dad's appointment, though. So it's official. He signed for surgery. Test result return not 2 but 3 aneurysms. Because of his age, the doctor recommends laparoscopic procedure. Which allows faster recovery and shorter hospital stay. However, this procedure cannot deal with the 3rd aneurysm. It has to be taken care of beforehand, on the scanner. The blood vessel to his right butt will be closed off. 1/3 of patients will have permanent pain afterward when walking. Painkiller can help. Well, we'll see. It's not like dad is walking much anyway.

Saw an unusual car on my way to Richmond. It's a Nissan. I've only see this model twice. Managed to snatch a shot at a red light.

Milka Alpine Mountain

(Thanks Andrew!) Limited edition Milk Cream & Blueberry with Crunchy Caramel. Smells like berry, kind of fruity. But I couldn't pinpoint whether it's blueberry or not. The real fruit isn't that strong after all. This tastes a bit too sweet and artificial. Despite a rather strong tartness, this chocolate is only slightly additive, not too much. The taste of crunchy caramel bits seem to be fighting with the blueberry. I think this is why they turn up the berry volume, and unfortunately, ended up with something too strong.

Happy Holloween!

This Koodo ad is scary enough for Halloween...
What was the designer thinking?

Mom's toe infection hasn't completely healed so I took her to see the doctor again. She managed to "arrange" for me to have an H1N1 shot too, since aunt Y will be staying with us for 2.5 weeks while her son and daughter-in-law vacation in Japan. That makes 3 seniors in the household. Turns out it's not H1N1 but regular flu shot. So... I didn't take it. Didn't think I can jump the line anyway.

Thought there's something wrong with my right eye. But the doctor found my left eye looking cloudy instead. I'll be seeing an ophthalmologist. Sigh... I guest I have been taking my eye sight for granted. I'm way too young to have cataract, but it is possible from stirring at the computer too much.

Thanks for the monitor speaker! It kicks ass!

Sink grinder

(Picture has nothing to do with subject.)
Cousin D took a look at our sink grinder after getting a hair cut from mom. Turns out there's a reset button underneath the grinder. All we need to do is to press it, and the grinder is working again. Yikes... we almost got rid of it! I'm so glad it's working again!

5 of 5 / kitchen sink

Finally! The last one arrived. But I'm working on something else...

Our right kitchen sink leaks. The sink grinder on the left isn't working and is clogging. Mom decided we should eat out as my brother's gang came for dinner tonight. We don't really use the sink grinder so maybe it's time to get rid of it.

The drain in our garage is also clogging. The guy couldn't get it fixed last week. Don't understand completely what's going on, but we might have to dig up the ground around the house.

Sigh... people age. Houses do too. This house is about 55? Lots need fixing. Lots.
