karenjaneeNatasha's bed was delivered Wednesday. She has had 2 good nights of sleep and is in much better spirits. I was ready to run away with the circus earlier this week she was so insufferable. We can also finish up getting her room set up and hopefully figure out what to do with whatever she can't fit in her room.
Thursday was uneventful. I was mildly distracted at work for about an hour because I won some items in a raffle. It is for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. I bought tickets because it benefits the Cancer facilities in Alberta and the prizes are pretty sweet. The grand prize is a house worth about a $1,000,000. The one in Calgary is in a nice part of town. There are vacations, cars and the like. The draw was on the 19th and I had forgotten about it until I got an email confirming the prizes had been announced. I managed to win a tailgate BBQ package (i *think* it is one of those gas BBQ's that you can bring camping) and a UV Sanitizer for cellphones. I had 2 tickets and they both won something so I'm happy.
I'll get the house next year ;)
It's Friday, it's 4:00pm. I'm done with work for the week. Not sure what I will do this weekend - Yoga on Saturday Run on Sunday, or Parkrun on Saturday and Yoga on Sunday.... Decisions, Decisions...

Date: 2021-10-23 11:56 am (UTC)You mean you can buy houses for less than $1-mn in Calgary? Literally EVERY house for sale in Toronto is well over $1-mn, even the most ordinary bungalows. Anything under a million means the house is virtually derelict and you're basically just buying the land so you can tear it down and build something new. And even then, you're likely looking at paying at least $700,000 or more.

Date: 2021-10-25 12:19 pm (UTC)It is so hard to believe how expensive housing is in Toronto. I was born in Mississauga and lived in Brampton. I looked on Zillow recently to see what the house prices were in my old neighborhood. Houses on my old street were listed at $1,000,000!!! People used to move to Brampton to get away from the crazy house prices in Toronto!
