My Ham Turned 12!

Yesterday was Pinky’s birthday and she turned twelve!

After hours of partying, she was extremely wiped out today.

Fortunately, sleeping for most of the day seems to have recharged her battery:

It’s only right that since there was a birthday in the household, there was also cake!  Mike and I ordered from Swiss Chalet, and fortunately, they had a nice slab of chocolate cake (which Pinky said that we could have).  She’s such a thoughtful ham!

I haven’t stepped out of my apartment in over three weeks now.  Mike was kind enough to go downstairs and check on my car, Lola Corolla.  He sent me these wonderful pics to show that she was still alive and kicking:

She’s a 2009 which I’ve had since 2008, and only has just over 65,000km.  Every year I say that I’m going to have her for twenty more years!

I at least have a nice view to enjoy while wittling down the hours.  I see the folks at the LCBO are behaving and staying apart from each other while in line.

Yesterday, I heard a few fire trucks race by and stop downtown.  It looks like there was a fire in or around the St. Catharines market.  I’m still not sure what happened or where exactly the fire was:

I’m keeping busy by working away on my computer, watching movies, playing Skyrim on the PS3 and playing with the kitties.  I’ve also really been enjoying the visits by my little mother every few days.  Mike usually comes over after work as well.  Looking forward to the move to our new house in three weeks is certainly helping to keep our spirits up.  I think one of the best things I have to look forward to when we move is just being outside.  It’s been so long, I don’t even remember how to tie my shoes anymore!

Today’s symptoms: I got very little sleep last night.  Maybe three hours total, all broken up.  I’m sure many people are having sleep issues while dealing with everything.  I had a pep talk with my brain and body, and they agreed to let me sleep tonight.  Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to feeling better tomorrow.  Woot!
