After work I headed to my sisters place to relax for a few hours. Around 10 I headed to the Brick House for the evening. Once that wrapped up I headed home.
After work I headed to the mall where I met up at Moxies drinks. From there we headed to some car dealerships to check out some used cars. The evening then took us to Cramdon's before I enventually headed home.
Mar's cold is finally starting to get me, after a week i think it's starting to take hold. Laid down for a while, read. Next thing i knew it was 10pm and we climbed up on the roof, watched the fireworks, then went to bed.
Went home, read, ate dinner. Went out for a quick shopping trip to pick Mar up some more cold fixing paraphenilia. Then came home, did some stuff around the house, cleaned up my harddrive a bit. Then did some situps, as i've been feeling slugish lately and went to bed.
After work I headed to the mall to pick up some birthday gifts for my Mom and sister. Following that trip I grabbed some dinner and killed some time while I waited for my family to get back into Windsor (they had gone away for the day). We then had a brief birthday gathering at my sisters place. To finish up the evening I headed to Cramdon's for a quick drink and then headed home.
Went home read, ate, read some more. Had a very quiet evening with Mar since she was sick and i wasn't feeling the best, then we went to bed.
Friday: Went home, Mar was sick, so we went to the walk-in clinic to see about getting her some medicine. We got there shortly after it opened, so it was only a 2 hr wait, where-in i got some reading done. After the doctor told Mar she wasn't sick enough to get anything we went home and relaxed.
Went home, read. Bbq'd up some supper. Called my parents, helped my dad figure out how to hook his computer up to the projector using an s-video cable. He'd never used the s-video output on his card before, so it was just a matter of turning on some options. Then i read a bit more, started to work out, but got distracted, so i just watched some tv and went to bed.
Went home, read. Bbq'd some chicken, almost got done before it started raining. Cleaned up then Mar's sister and nephew came over again to drop off some pictures. Read some more, watched a bit of tv and went to bed.
After work I headed to the Anglo Club to watch the England game. From there we headed to Murphy's for some dinner. After dinner I headed to my sisters place to get ready for baseball only to realize I forgot my glove. I spent the remainder of my time there looking for another basball glove, and once I found one I headed to baseball. After baseball I met up with some people at Cramdon's for a while before heading home for the night.
Went home, went out to swiss chalet for dinner. Took a drive around for a little while. Headed home, Mar's sister and nephew came over to visit for a bit. Worked on my computer for a while, watched a bit of tv and went to bed.
Went home, read, ate. We went groccery shopping as we didn't get it all done on the weekend. Then came home, did some laundry and watched the hockey game. After that disappointment we watched a bit more tv and went to bed.
After work I made a few phone calls to see if anyone was heading out to the bar to watch the hockey game. No one seemed to be available so I just headed home where I spent the remainder of the evening watching television and browsing the internet.
Friday night was spent visiting my cousin at the mall for a while. Following that we both headed to Cramdon's for s quick impromptu dinner outting. After dinner I met up for coffee at Tim Hortons before calling it a night.
Friday: Went home, ate, packed up, did a few things around the house. Stopped by my parents' house, since they were having a bday party for my grandma. Then headed out off to toronto. We arrived at about 11pm, Danny was the only one left at the appartment. Then we watched a version of the Libertine that was possibly an edited screener, then went to bed.
Wednesday night I played soccer after work for a couple hours with some friends. After soccer we all headed back to my sisters place to watch the hockey game and have some dinner.
Went home, was dead tired from trying to stay warm everyday, just keep getting more and more warn down. Thankfully it's the weekend tomrw where i can stay warm. We ate, then went shopping to pick up a few things and cards and what not. Then took care of the general mainentance on the car, took care of a few things inside, and went to bed early.
Went home, bbq'd. Went to futureshop to pick up a 200 pack of dvds as they were on sale and i was almost out, hopefully they won't produce too many coasters. Then came home, had a look at an old filing cabinet my sister is taking. Someone had bent the locking mechanism so that it was at a 90 degree angle from where it should have been. So i worked on bending that back, and fashioning up a gheto temporary latch to allow it to open. Then watched the end of the oilers game, a bit of the daily show and the colbert report and went to bed.
After work I headed to the mall to quickly pick up a long sleeve t-shirt to wear under the baseball uniform (I was lucky enough to find one for under $8). From there I headed to baseball. Afterwards a few of us stuck around for drinks at Stanley's. Once that party started to wrap up I headed to Cramdon's where I was joined by a few remaining members of the baseball team along with some other friends who were also at Cramdon's. I had some drinks, played some pool, then headed home.
Went home, bbq'd up some pork kabobs. Then took care of some extra dirt left over from digging out for the bricks. Then bundled up all the cardboard i had, about a 4ft stack bundled up. Cleaned up, watched some tv, went to bed.
Went home, read a bit, grabbed a quick bite to eat. Mar brought her nephew back to our place during her baby sitting stint. We went on a walk through the park and pushed him on a baby swing. Then grabbed some tool and headed back to pick up a couple desktops and drawers i was offered, since they were just throwing them away. Although i ended up picking up one set of drawers that didn't fit together. Went home again, did a little computer maintinance, then played on the ps2 for about 20 minutes until Mar came back. We watched tv and went to bed.
After work I headed to Boppers for some free dinner (Gino was working the grill outside at the Monday night classic car show). After dinner I headed home to watch the hockey game and some of the days soccer highlights. Spent the rest of the evening chatting on the internet before eventually heading to bed.
Friday evening after work I headed to Charlie's for a couple drinks and a bite to eat. After things wrapped up there a few of us stuck around to have a go at the batting cages. From Charlie's I headed to meet up with some friends at Brews & Cues where we spent the remainder of the evening.
Friday: Went home, company was already there. Mar's sister and nephew and my cousin Barry. Barry hung out there for a bit until heading out for some partying. We had a quiet evening.
After work I picked up my sister and Grandma and proceeded to my Aunts house. From there it was off to pick up a bed and dresser from my cousins (the dresser was going back to my aunts house, and my sister was keeping the bed).
Went home, the parents were coming over to bring some stuff. So i quickly removed the stone from around a dead bush in the front. Then we ate dinner. The parents arrived, brought a small lawn roller i fixed up, then we hooked a chain on the bush and pulled it out with their truck. Sat around for a while chatting. Then they left, i finished up Mar's office door, then made her old door into a table using some boards and a set of legs. By that time it was about 11:30, so we watched the colbert report and went to bed.
After work I took a brief nap at my sisters before heading to Brians for dinner and to help him figure out his new cell phone. We spent the majority of the time trying to get it interfacing with the computer so he can upload music and ringtones to it for free. Once we finished there I headed to Tim Horton's meet Gino for a coffee. At that point I headed home to bed.
Went home, read, ate. Mar and i went for a walk around the park. Then when we got home, i started working on measuring and routering out the hinges for the door for her office. I got stopped at drilling the hole for the latch, as i have to get the correct tool, thought i had it, but i was wrong. Then i watched a bit of tv and went to bed.
After work I changed for baseball, went to baseball, played baseball, went for drinks at Stanely's with the team after baseball, went for drinks at Cramdon's, and went home.
Went home, read, bbq'd myself some food. Finished the book i was reading. Got out of working on making the new door to Mar's office since she went to bed early, and the sound of the router would have been too loud for her to sleep. Worked on the computer a bit and also went to bed.
Went home, read, ate outside on our patio. Tried to put some heat back into my body from 9 hrs of sub-arctic temperatures at work. Worked on measuring the house and trying to figure out elavation and stairwells on the architect program. Watched the end of the hockey game and went to bed. Couldn't sleep and now i'm sitting at work as it gets colder and colder.
After work I headed home, ate dinner and spent the remainder of the evening trying to diagnose the cause of our internet problems at home. It turned out to be a gateway setting that Windows wasn't properly assigning. Once I made all the settings manually things started to work much better. Once I got that sorted out I watched the end of the hockey game and went to bed.
Friday: Went downtown for my friend's birthday and consumed large quantities of alcohol. Details somewhat blurry.
Friday night included Cramdon's, Brews & Cues, Tom Fooleries, and finally a stop downtown at Tree House. Eventually I made it home for a few hours of sleep.
Friday: Ended up just staying home, taking it easy. We watched the movie grandma's boy, very funny. Then headed to bed at a decent hour.
After work Wednesday I headed up to TO with Virginia for the CSIO workshop. Once we arrived we checked into the hotel then decided to go looking for a gas station since I wasn't certain we could make it back to the highway on the little fuel that was remaining. After that we headed back to the hotel to park the car. We then headed to the Eaton centre for dinner in the food court. After dinner we contemplated going for drinks but opted to just return to our rooms to watch the basketball game before heading to bed. Thursday was the CSIO workshop all day which was quite informative, and a bit lengthy (mainly because certain participants felt the need to question everything possible). After the workshop we hung around city hall while we waited for Jackie to finish work so she could catch a ride home with us. Once we returned to Windsor I dropped off Vriginia and headed to the Brick House to meet up with everyone else for a couple drinks before heading home to bed.
Went home, read, ate. Put up new blinds in Mar's office. Although i'm not really satisfied with the way they are mounted as the mounting brackets weren't meant for the only way we could put it up there. So i may have to "adjust" them. Then watched some tv and went to bed.
