This morning we had bacon, eggs, and toast around 10:30. We did not have lunch (although snacked a bit in the afternoon).
We also made both chocolate lasagne and normal lasagne for supper. We had a guest this evening for supper and he seemed to enjoy it a lot. (We also had garlic toast and caesar salad.)
After supper (but before dessert), we played a game (Forget the name). It was alright for awhile but I got bored and just wanted someone to win. (Our guest did.) Then we had chocolate lasagne and played another game. (it was much more fun and over quickly.)
We have some leftovers for the week - it is good.
The last few nights we have had fireworks set off around the house. Tonight they were right on the street (and really noisy). We will see what happens tomorrow night.
The car does not have air conditioning. Yesterday was a cooler day and I did not notice too much but today was warmer. Since we were not in the car too long, all was well.

Vivre le quebec
This morning we woke up and drove to Tim Horton's. There we ordered breakfast. I rarely eat at Timmy's and even rarer eat breakfast there. It took me awhile to decide but eventually ordered.
We then headed out to the wonderful french city of Montreal. I was tired! I had a really hard time keeping my eyes open. Fortunately I was not driving!
We got into Montreal and found the Eaton's Centre (underground shopping). This was a good thing as it was a rainy day and nice to keep out of the rain. We browsed for about an hour and then decided to stop for lunch (I had a noodle bowl). We then shopped for a couple of more hours. (I bought a wallet and some shoes.)
We (basically) went through the billion shops in the malls and decided to head over to Old Montreal (taking the Metro). After walking around there (and not buying anything), we headed back to the car.
We just made it home and are now ordering supper.
It was a good day but pretty uneventful...

ACHOO
Today is a rainy day so we did not do too much. It is good though as C had to take her car in anyway. (Hence, we were without car.)
ACHOO!
Yesterday we went downtown to see the Jersey Boys. It was a good show. (Although C said she liked Darren Criss better.) Of course, I had to come home and research them to see how accurate the show was.
ACHOO!
We are currently watching the Big Bang Theory discs. (Which was a nice way for me to take a nap. lol)
ACHOO!
After getting her car back, we picked up some groceries today too. It was nice as now we have some idea of what we are going to eat this week.
ACHOO!!
The other thing (in case you couldn't tell) is that I have been sneezing a lot! I am pretty sure it is more allergy related than I am coming down with some sort of illness.
Fortunately I took some allergy medication earlier today and I think it is helping....?
ACHOO!!!
(Maybe not.)

What time is it?
Lately I have been having problems sleeping. I am not sure why.
Last night I went to bed knowing I was going to have to get up at 3:45 to get ready to go to the airport. I decided I would not go to bed early as I would not fall asleep right away anyway. I think by the time I fell asleep it was probably around 11pm and then I woke up around 2am and could not get back to sleep. Finally around 3am I decided to turn on the TV thinking it might distract me enough so that I could fall back to sleep. But alas, it did not.
The good news is - I did not sleep in (and miss my flight). Although it seems like a long time ago now, I had enough time to eat breakfast, take my garbage out, and deliver a note to my condo corp. Then drive to the airport.
I got to the airport about an hour before my flight. Since I was already checked in, I just had to check in my luggage. I quickly went through security where they swabbed my laptop (they always do that). I got to the other side of security and had the chance to relax. :-)
Soon I was on the plane. When I purchased the tickets a few months ago, I noticed the plane had 2 seats on either side of the aisle and that was it. I decided that since my only choices were either aisle or window, it was not worth the extra money to choose my seat ahead of time. I got to sit over the wing (window seat).
By this time I was exhausted. After realizing my on-board entertainment did not work. I found myself relaxing with my eyes shut. I started to do the - falling asleep, falling asleep, WAKE UP, falling asleep, falling asleep, WAKE UP, falling asleep, falling asleep, WAKE UP, falling asleep, falling asleep, WAKE UP. I am not sure why but for some reason my body would not let me fall completely asleep. Surprisingly enough - I felt relatively rested after that.
Eventually I started looking out of my window and contemplating life's thoughts. I had a profound thought (or so I think) that I am so lucky to be born in this day and age to experience the art of flying. How many of my ancestors would ever have thought one day we could soar above the clouds? I thought about writing a poem based on this thought but did not as it would require me stringing together some cohesive thoughts.
Finally we landed and (man!) did my luggage ever take forever to arrive! Maybe it was because I just wanted the day to start (now that I am at my destination).
I took a cab here and was finally able to have some lunch. I think today is going to be one of those mixed up days where my body thinks I need more than 3 meals.
For some reason, I can't wait until tonight when I can sleep!
