Drinking a shot of blackcurrant liquor in honour of Walter Koenig...Admiral Pavel Chekov... I salute you for your great performances; well done!... Cheers!πŸ™‚

OMG!!! I'm so sad to hear that Walter Koenig, also known as Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series, died today at the age of 90...Loved him in all the Star Trek shows and movies, and in the series Babylon 5....Such a wonderful actor...R.I.P. Mr. Koenig 😒

Time for tea and salmon sandwiches with diced tomatoes and mayo...simple yet oh so delicious!!!πŸ₯°πŸ€£πŸ˜œπŸ˜‡πŸ€ͺ

Have you ever been scammed by a sweet, kind-hearted gal, and yet you love her even more...is that a normal thing to say?...she is so damn cold yet so damn hot, it makes me think I am in a different universe...or a wonderful dream..she is amazing

Bought a few lottery tickets for the next couple of draws... You never know... could be a winner... lol...Right now, I'm downloading the Fantastic Beasts trilogy from the Pirate Bay...might watch it on my big screen later... then again, maybe on my monitor...Making tea and sandwiches later...lolπŸ₯°πŸ€£πŸ€ͺ

I figure since I have a little vodka left, I might as well make an almost lunchtime Caesar cocktail, cause hey, Why Not!...lol🀣πŸ€ͺ

It's Monday...My first day off in a total of 4... It's also voting day for a new mayor, which I totally forgot. I don't even know who the candidates are for my riding... lol...Resting today...deciding what to make for dinner...tuna sandwiches and tea or maybe pizza...lol...A do-nothing day today!πŸ€ͺπŸ˜›πŸ˜

I wish I could win the lottery one day and buy myself a whole bunch of cool kitchen appliances... "small"... There are so many cool things to get...You could say I am an appliance junkie... I never have enough stuff to make food and drinks ...lol...Still just a dream... but hey, maybe one day!🀣😁πŸ₯°

Time for my last Brunch of the weekend...same as yesterday's...probably change it up next weekend though...although the Caesar cocktails will continue...if I can afford another bottle of vodka...lolπŸ€ͺπŸ˜›

I love our burly security guards where I work cause they will get physical with you if you are causing trouble...Believe me when I say you do not want to make trouble...and we do have police sometimes nearby, inside as well as outside of the hospital, waiting to take you to a jail cell pronto.πŸ˜πŸ˜‡

Sunday...Last day of my 3-day work stint... drinking my morning coffee...lost in Lotto as usual...was a free ticket anyways...Hope my shift is a good one again tonight...Had drama in the ICU, Code White...needed 5 security guards to calm the situation...homeless dude causing trouble as usual.πŸ™„

Brunch time...pretty much the same as yesterday's brunch...less a slice of bread and cheese...still tasty like mad...lolπŸ€ͺ😁

Saturday... time for coffee...back to work in 3 hours...Weird shift yesterday...mostly preventing a steam pipe leak from flooding a basement hall...every hour using a clean machine to suck up the water... the rest of the time was basically cleaning rooms in the basement...Fun yet still tiring🀣😜

I watched Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey the other night, and honestly, I found it boring...it dragged on in some scenes... it was an okay movie...But, you know what movie I loved more...SUPERGIRL...I loved it!!! The actresses, the actors, the action...Fantastic!!! Was more entertaining!!!πŸ₯°πŸ€£πŸ˜‡πŸ˜

It's brunch time....Having brie cheese on buttered rye bread...the smaller one piece is light rye, the other 2 is more dense...and a nice cold Caesar cocktail with sweet peppers, which, for some reason, I'm really loving...lol...Time to enjoy my pre-work fuel-up...Cheers!😁πŸ₯°πŸ˜‡πŸ€ͺ

It's Friday...Start of my usual 3-day work stint...Enjoying my morning coffee...reading the local news online...looks like a cool, sunny day...going down to 4c tonight...darn, winter is coming; I can feel it in my bones...lol...heading to work in a few hrs; will be stopping by Dollarama for stuffπŸ˜›πŸ€ͺ

Napping is done...food leftovers are in the fridge...time for some chillin' time with a screwdriver....I think I deserve one...just hope my liver accepts it as okay just this once...okay, twice...oh alright, thrice...lolπŸ˜‚πŸ€ͺ

Time to eat some delicious meat and potato food...gotta love it...comfort food indeed... tastes great when eaten hot...also have a glass of Pepsi in a wine glass...why not...I have no beer or wine...all is good! Bon Apetit!πŸ₯°πŸ€£πŸ˜›

Cooking dinner... boneless pork chops with peas and carrots with an extra few chopped organic carrots as well added to the veggies...and yellow potatoes, which I will be mashing afterwards...lol...I have nutmeg for extra delicious flavour...hehehe😜πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ˜‡

Back from the grocery store...Everything is getting more and more expensive... Bought vodka, but now I only have $97 left from my pay to last me till next payday... lol...Bought boneless pork chops at 40% off... making them today since they expire today... Celebrating my poor-ness with a CaesarπŸ€ͺπŸ₯°πŸ€£

Thursday is upon us!!! Sunny but on the cool side (high of 13c today)...Just finished drinking my usual 2 cups of java...Payday today...but alas, paying the rent...need to get that outta the way, which means not much left for the next 2 weeks...once again poor as fuck. Will be budgeting, thoughπŸ˜πŸ˜‡πŸ€”

Time for another vodka cocktail with Brisk lemonade...and lucky me, I found some pretzels in the back of my food cabinet... sweeeeet...actually salty and crunchy...not stale at all, and the last of the bag of pretzels...Can I guy be so lucky, eh...lolπŸ€ͺ

Time for some cream...Yeah, I have no fruit, ice cream, cake, or pie, but I do have whipped cream left...Gotta love Cool Whip...lol...πŸ₯°πŸ€ͺ

Time once again to start this evening off with some roasted peanuts and a rum-and-Pepsi (don't have any Coke brand)... time to chill!πŸ€ͺ

Time for some tea and bacon/sweet red pepper sandwiches with mayo... mind you, I didn't have any eggs or lettuce, but isn't mayonnaise made from eggs?... and aren't sweet red peppers a delicious vegetable too?... anyhow... smells yummy... gotta love bacon and I do love having tea in the afternoonπŸ₯°πŸ€ͺ😁

My laundry is 2/3rds done...another 25 minutes to go...in the meantime, time to enjoy a vodka Brisk lemonade cocktail...yummy!😁

Wednesday is here....woke up late...enjoying my 2nd cup of coffee...Another lazy day...might do laundry...might just lounge about and do nothing...lol...Someone won $90 mil in the Lottomax draw last night...I'm just disappointed I only had 1 number right...gonna lay off lottery tickets for a whileπŸ€”πŸ«£

Okay, I finally made a screwdriver...mind you, I flipped the shot glass upside down, making sure I had the vodka in the glass...lol...Cheers!!πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ‘

You ever get one of those days...I made a second gin cocktail and then dumped the gin bottle in my recycling bin. Then I went back to my desk...drank my drink... then when I finished, I went to make a vodka with orange juice... lo and behold, the last of the gin was still in the shot glass....lol🀣

I have a tiny bit of gin left...just enough to make 2 Gin cocktails...this is my first...Still celebrating in regard to Albertans for doing what's right!!! Sweeeeet!... Speaking of sweet, I do love Brisk lemonade...damn good with gin and on its own as well...lol...cheers!!!πŸ€ͺ

Time for an early evening rum and Pepsi...such a calming evening indeed...Celebrating, in a way, the fact that Albertans voted to say Hell yeah, we're so part of Canada "...Fuck I love my birth country...I am so proud of the Voters of Alberta!...Cheers!!!πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ˜‡πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚

It's 4 pm... time for tea... Brewing an orange pekoe tea with salmon sandwiches using Italian white bread...Looks so delicious...I gotta admit, salmon is so tasty... lol... I added diced sweet red peppers and a little relish to the salmon spread...Mayo makes it just perfect...lol😜πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‡πŸ˜

Okay, I didn't even touch any of my bikes yet, probably not either as I was sorting stuff out from my tiny closet...manage to get a garbage bag of stuff I'm throwing out...which maybe seems like a little, but it's actually a lot...and a lot of work too to put the remaining stuff back...lolπŸ€ͺ🀣

It's Tuesday, 2nd of 4 days off!... Gonna be a clean-up kinda day...also need to do a little tweaking of my new cheapo bike, as well as dismantling my 30 yr. old KHS mountain bike, as I need room in my hall for my 2 new bikes....Just finished my coffee; need to check Loto tickets and relax too.πŸ€£πŸ˜„πŸ€”

Just finished watching a good Halloween movie...Sleepy Hollow...with Johnny Depp...Love this film...quite good, to be honest...wholesome horror...not the same old slasher torture shit they put out every month now...to be honest, the shit they produce is repetitive diarrhea...lol... boring as fuckπŸ€”πŸ€¨πŸ™„

Time for some dinner....making Alfredo...using leftover noodles from a few past pasta dishes...and parmesan cheese and store-bought Alfredo sauce (from a jar)...added some chicken broth as well, for extra flavour...looks and smells delicious!!...yummy too!πŸ˜πŸ˜›

Testing out my new fireplace insert; mind you, I still need to build a slender cabinet to fit the insert, as I am lacking width (hence why I didn't buy one with a cabinet, as they are all too wide for my limited space)...still looks pretty nice...Not using the heat, as I really don't need heat.πŸ₯°πŸ€ͺ🀣

Did a bit of an assembly for my new cheapo bike...definitely need an extension for the handlebars, which I have to order as it's thinner than the others I have...also a seat post extension as well...A lot of tweaking for sure, but once it is roadworthy, it's my new winter bike...lolπŸ˜œπŸ˜‡πŸ˜€

Whoa, I expected this to be delivered on Thursday, but it came almost an hour ago...lol...decent surprise, especially since I got my cheapo bike right after that delivery...lol...Pretty cool...Gonna set up my fireplace later, as I already worked on my cheapo bike for a bit. Will modify it laterπŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜

Okay...still waiting for delivery of a 26inch wheeled bike from Walmart.ca (so slow)...ran out of wine...will make a couple Caesars soon...lol...I already have an e-bike in my cart...gonna buy one when I get a paycheck in about 3 weeks...The next paycheck is on Thurs. Pays rent...lol...πŸ₯°πŸ€£

My new "older" Walmart bike at my work in the bike room...lol...lots of room because it is the weekend...lol...when the temperature gets colder, we have fewer fellow employees biking to work...Anywho...I do love my bike, but damn, look how small the crank is...WTF...no wonder I pedal more.πŸ€£πŸ€”πŸ˜†
