GottaLaff, 1 day ago to Canada

You guys.

I'm so bone tired after another day of packing up that POD, so apologies for not replying, or simply replying with a "like." I can barely read, let alone type.

So, with that, I shall collapse, but not before posting another dopey #CountdownToCanada gif.

POD #2 for our furniture comes tomorrow, as do my twins, down from BC to help us! We leave in 5 days!
#Canada 🇨🇦
Have a good evening. 😴

More packing today, so I'll be MIA for the most part.

Have a good Sunday!

Here's your Daily Dose of dopey #CountdownToCanada gifs. 10 more days!

Enjoy! And have a good evening.

Oooo! Our first PODs is coming in 10 minutes!

(Next week will be the second)

So, we'll be breaking our backs loading boxes in today, my posting will be minimal unless big news breaks.

Yes, we'll be careful, yes we use a hand truck/dolly for the really heavy stuff, so no unsolicited advice necessary. 😘

See you later.

Yesterday’s COVID shot hit me like a freight train. I’m pretty useless today. ☹️

Dear real estate agents,

Please tell our agent that you will be showing our house BEFORE surprising us with a visit and setting Hammy's barkage off like a broken car alarm.

Especially only minutes before another agent was coming over.

Kthxbye.

As promised, today's dopey #CountdownToCanada gif.

We leave in 17 days! Yikes! #Canada 🇨🇦

Thank you for all the good wishes, and thank you to those who took the time to read my post (https://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2024/05/im-moving-to-canada-part-3-its-happening.html)

Have a good evening, everyone.

I always choose my #aperitivo #aperitif according to my taste, but sometimes...
Tonight I've had the #holysmoke:

60ml manzanilla (fino) #sherry
7,5ml Benedictine
Half a teaspoon of peated islay whisky

Stirr&Strain in a chilled Martini glass without any garnish.

Well, I love dry sherry, I love sherry #martinidry, I also love all the ingredients of this cocktail, but it's not my cup of tea.

The peated note became a unpleasant "fishy" note, and the sherry got lost in between the salty whiskey and the sweet liqueur.

Not recommended.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the "Sharon":

45ml Fino sherry
30ml red vermouth
22,5ml Campari

Stirr&Strain and express an orange twist

A nice take on the #Negroni : salty with low abv.
Highly recommended!

I'll be in & out now, so replies/posting minimal:

Today: Dentist, gone in a.m.

Later: Family interested in our house is coming back for a 2nd look.🤞🏼

Tomorrow: Brokers' open house. (Brokers only, checking out the place)

2 wks: Roofer comes, contractor fixes area$$

Meantime, we very well may take an impromptu driving trip to BC on Sunday because there is a really good house our agent alerted us to and we need to see it up close.

(Don't tell Hammy, he loves these trips and he'll go NUTS.)

boozyANDsour, 3 months ago to cocktails

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is from the Bar Vinazo Martini:

30ml vermouth dry
30ml fino sherry
30ml gin
1 barspoon of piparra's brine

Stirr&Strain and garnish with an olive and a piparra pepper.

Savory, salty, a bit hot and delicious.
Highly recommended.

I. DO. NOT. HAVE. COVID. LAURIE DOES. OKAY? Thank you for caring, but sheesh! Read the post! Read the thread!

👉🏼Via Laurie Garrett:👈🏼

I have just tested + for #COVID19 -- my 1st time. I wear masks, but hardly anybody else does. Went to 6 pharmacies in search of #Paxlovid ...only one has the drug, but declined insurance & demanded $1600.38 for 5-day supply. Outrageous.

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed I can’t stand it.

I never, ever would have suspected growing up that in my “golden years,” I’d be consumed by the real and present dangers of catastrophic climate change and fascism in this country.

Still fighting like hell, but that’s not the point of this post, so no need to tell me to “keep fighting, don’t give up.”

I’m allowed, as you are, to feel scared, alarmed, overwhelmed sometimes.

This is one of those times.

Better late than never. More like this.

MSNBC: Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) calls his opposition to an #AssaultWeaponsBan a mistake after deadly mass shooting in his district.

Golden: I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war like the assault rifle he used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why I now call on the US congress to ban assault rifles..for those who have been harmed, I ask for forgiveness" #GunViolence

Ugh, Father in Law took another fall (he slid off his chair a couple of weeks ago, HUGE bruise on his side, but no broken bones)

This time he fell on his stomach trying to get from his wheelchair to his new bed. Horrible. No broken bones, but lotta pain. He's on so many pain meds now + a Fentanyl patch that hasn't kicked in yet, & they're making him nauseous. It's brutal.

Mr. Laffy and his sister are there now.

Sigh. He shouldn't have to go thru this, but well... 😢
