Snow (2)

Boss didn't think I'd make it, but I did. The major roads are relatively clear, but residential areas are still quite bad. OK for drivers, hell for pedestrians.

Dan-D-Pack Chestnuts

Review first written last February. Wow... but this one is again, on-going.
Thanks A, yup, this ranks very high on my junk food chart. It may even be healthy! Can't find anything negative about it to say. Maybe except for fattening? It seems high in calories. But feels better than chocolate! I think I've been bias against mainland Chinese product. Seems like I'm wrong in this case.

Snow (1)

Was supposed to meet with my tax guy but he was still sick. So I canceled work for nothing... maybe not. My neck is all screwed up. So screwed up, I have spasms shooting up my head and a constant headache. My ribs hurt too. It has to be the combination of yesterday's work and today's weather. 10-20 cm of snow is in the forecast. I'm in a state where I'm extremely grumpy, lack of energy, and can't think straight.

Set alarm at 10, ended up getting out of bed at 2, in pain. (T_T) Managed to get everything done in the bathroom, and then took A to deal with some refund issues. Boss wanted storage boxes from Diaso, so it worked out fine for me too.

Snow started falling around... 8? I quickly drop A off and went home, just made it before snow started to accumulate. The major roads were fine, but residential side streets definitely turn white. Yup, 10-20 cm, and they were not kidding. It's supposed to turn into rain at sunrise and all wash off, though. The recent forecasts have been late, so I fear the rain may not come in time for the rush hour. I'm scheduled to work, but if condition is bad, I'll have to postponed.

2011-01-11... We've got so many "1"s today. Nothing beats November 11th, though.

Work

Just another work day. Didn't do much. Mounted a whole bunch of stuff for spray-painting, then made handles for hat boxes, and painted the edge of the bottoms gold. Boss decided to "do something fun", and switched to refiling beads and related stuff. Not sure if it's my lack of sleep or the nature of the work, my neck is really sore.

Again, kept dosing off at my desk after dinner. Didn't get to clean up my room for the new book case.

Diaper

Mom told me about it before, but today I've see it with my own eyes the very first time. Right now, 2 in the morning, dad's been sitting on the toilet for an hour. I heard him tearing something up with force. Could it be toilet paper? But it shouldn't take that much force. Then I went to take a look. He was tearing up his own diaper! The one he's wearing! OMG... (T_T)

Not that I want to see it, but he doesn't shut the door since a looooong time ago. I took a picture as record, and to see if this would stop him. He did stop for a bit after I asked him to. But resumed after a few moments. He kept doing it even after he got up. Sigh... (T_T)

I have to work tomorrow, and have been waiting for him to free up the bathroom for 2 hours. As usual, I will risk driving with lack of sleep. (T_T)

New book case

Bad idea to read the books I bought last night. Couldn't sleep. This happens too ofter after watching a movie too. Sigh...

As expected, estimated sleep time was between 2 to 3 hours. Bad... bad... Nevertheless, managed to woke up at 10, which was a whole hour before the alarm. Bad... bad... My back had been feeling bad since late last night. Finally got out of bed at around 11. Ended up meeting A at 12:30. Which is early comparing to my usual time.

Finally dropped off the donation clothes. Yay!! They've been sitting in my trunk for over a month! Then I suggested lunch at Ikea, which we seldom go. First, parking wasn't easy. Then the line up at the cafeteria was horrible! There was just not enough seating and we had to eat outside in the cold. Those metal patio chairs were freezing!

He ended up buying a shelf, and pushed me to buy that bookcase I've been considering. Thanks... I wouldn't be able to move forward otherwise.

Then to Netlink to exchange A's stuff. If only he held off and didn't buy those last night. Memory Express afterward. And grocery shopping. Before dropping him off back home, I kidnapped him to look at our new HDTV setup. (Plus helped with unloading the bookcase! Thanks!) Yup... things needed to be fixed. He gave me a cable too. Thanks again!

Day-timer

Woke up to find dad "organizing" things again. This time it was slippers. He took some from the front door rack and lined them up outside his bed room. (T_T)

Met up with A around 4 at Oakridge and went to Richmond. He bought a new DSiXL at Costco. Then Office Depot for my day-timer, and of course Michael's afterward. Then Iwase to pick up a magazine and got the very last copy of Glass Mask 46. I suppose that was my lucky moment of the day. Dinner at Felicos. A forgot his bag so we went back. Last stop, Aberdeen. He got some more computer stuff and I got more pill boxes at Daiso. It's supposed to snow tomorrow. Hope it won't.

Over a week into the new year, I finally bought a new day-timer. Only a few black ones are left. By principle, I don't really care about colour, but the truth is, I've never had a black one. Oh well. No I don't mind, really. I guess the other colours are more feminine.
