Two Full Weeks off

Wow I havn't blogged in forever. It's been a great little while and a frustrating little while. My 85 year old gramma was all set to move into an assisted living facility which she needs...then her and my Mom decide she's fine and can stay in her house...after having me drive to Maple Ridge to look at an amazing place for her. Now the whole reason she was moving was for late night security when she's sick. She'll have a call button and someone who can ensure she gets to the hospital, ensures she's getting meals ect. Whe healthy she's fine, but she still panics about if something happened in the night she's on her own in an apartment. I get that it's a big decision but when it comes to my cousin and I having to run out to Maple Ridge to take care of her when she's at her worst that's a lot. I love my Mom but she's 5 hours away and doesnt have to deal with this stuff. So now nothing changes, we wait for the inevitablility that she ends up in hospital AGAIN, ends up scared and depressed AGAIN, and we end up solving nothing AGAIN. Oh there is the promise that she might be moving to the great white north in the next while so I guess that's something...but not much because she's on a waiting list. I just deal with this.

On the good side, we had an amazing long weekend in Tofino, visited friends, ate some amazing food (sorry meal plan) and discovered "The Dark and Stormy" Here's the recipe:

Rocks Glass
Ice
2oz Spiced Rum
1 slice of fresh Ginger
1 Wedge of Lemon (I actually prefer Orange)
Fill the glass with Ginger Beer (Not Canada Dry, not Schweps, real Ginger Beer, I recommend The Great Jamacian Ginger Beer Company)

Let's see what else is going on, I finally got my GTI...apparently if you really want something, wait until it's 10 years old and then find one...if you still actually want one, luckily I did.

Too much freeking Rain...it's almost June, where's summer? I lothe it when people complain about the weather which I just did...deal with it.

Thanks for reading
