GottaLaff, 15 days ago to Canada

Last night Mr. Laffy, the twins, and I celebrated:

1- May 34th #TrumpGuilty
2- Finding a townhouse to put an offer on …in our preferred complex, exactly where we wanted to buy
3- Being together again, in #Canada for realsies
4- The rule of law working as it should

Today I woke up (I actually didn’t sleep much) under the weather… which started yesterday but was trying to ignore. So, no Champagne today.

TODAY IS THE DAY.

We're in Washington now and arrive in #Canada this afternoon. 🇨🇦

Our new home.

It's surreal, scary, wonderful.

My posting will be light until we're settled in a little.

Thank you for all your amazing replies and good wishes. I read them all, but can't reply back.

Big hugs to all of you. 🥰

You've been with me every step of the way and for that I thank you.❤️

For the next few days we'll be on the road to #Canada 🇨🇦, our new home. Bear with me for not replying w/ more than a "like" & for not live-posting the #TrumpTrial.

I'll post alerts & pop in.

Okay, back to packing the furniture POD.

And yes, we just lowered the damn price of our house again.

Sigh.

GottaLaff, 25 days 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!

GottaLaff, 30 days ago to Canada

After another day of POD-packing, I'm done in.

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. ☹️

GottaLaff, 1 month ago to random

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.

GottaLaff, 1 month ago to Canada

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.

You're welcome.

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.)

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.
