and, you'll get some deep cleaning done!
I am so relieved that Duffin's Donuts is open again. Also, went to my favourite asian mall yesterday.......... Parker Place. It's like the asian version of Kingsgate Mall. A bit of a shit hole, but oodles of character. Then went to Oomomo (formerly Daiso). Cot Damn, they have this Japanese crepe restaurant there on the upper floor. I didn't get anything, but I'll go when I'm back there again. I haven't been to Daiso (can't help it - it's always going to be Daiso to me) for a really long time. The place just makes me happy. Don't know why, but it does. The other locations, meh. I had a craving for Veggie Pakora, so got some at New Bhaia Sweets. I love their tamarind sauce.
Anyway, retired life is good. Miss the wife so much. I just realized there's nobody to check up on me. Two of my three children moved out. My mother-in-law that I was looking after is now in a long term care home. My mother passed away nearly a year ago. The scary part is, there's nobody to keep me in line. That could be a very dangerous thing.
I have so much work to do. A detached home that needs to be cleaned. The garden alone is a handful. Keeping up with the laundry, dishes, cleaning the bathrooms, etc. I have a long honeydew list.......... I guess I can't call it that anymore. How the hell did my wife do all that?
I'm even falling behind in my hobbies. I have hundreds of boxes full of stamps that I've accumulated over the years (60 years of collecting) that needs to be catalogued, at least fifty small scale model kits that are dying to be built, two uninsured vehicles that I really should clean up and try to sell. Good thing the casino's are closed - that used to take up so much of my time, lol. I wake up anywhere from 3 AM to 3PM. No work, no schedule, no commitments. I can't even volunteer at the places I used to work at. BUT, I still have a big smile on my face. My children are all successful and doing well. My highlights are when I go visit them and drop off stuff. I look forward to one of them calling to say, "Hey, dad, can you fix this for me?" One day, I would love to be a grandfather before I die.............. hurry up, kids!
