Day 3 LA

Couldn’t get to sleep last night, so I grabbed Teagan’s copy of the BFG and eventually went to sleep, waking up at 6 am, when everyone was getting ready for work / school. I did grab a cuppa and go back to bed to check the computer.

Breakfast, washing, drier, checked in for the flight, but my boarding pass wouldn’t print, walked to the shops to get some bananas for tomorrow’s flights. The chances of getting GF food on an internal flight are zero. Once again it was a lovely walk up there. The Vons supermarket had a much better selection of GF and in one easy to find location.

When I got home, it was time to fold washing and have morning tea, followed by lunch outside in the shade. Lovely, until the gardener on the property behind started spraying something that was very strong. Time to go inside for Churro and me. I sat and knitted for a while before getting back to reorganising my Pinterest account- briefly falling asleep every now and then, but waking up rapidly when I thought I had lost a whole section. Troy arrived home soon after because of a minimum day- they go to school for half a day! When Teagan arrived home at normal time, we went for a walk down to the frozen yoghurt shop. Troy rode his bike and we took Churro.

Susan had a car disaster day to add to her load this week. It just kept stopping on her way to work, so she ended up having to take it to the service department and luckily getting a courtesy car for the next few days.

When we returned home, Susan had her turn with the screw driver to try to resolve the computer table’s shaky legs. Teagan and Troy enthusiastically destroyed their Halloween pumpkins. Then Teagan and I washed a very stinky Churro (not enjoyed by all participants) while Troy continued on with his homework. I made the dinner while Susan and Troy set up the new computer. After dinner they had a meeting and I continued to work on my Pinterest organising until it just refused to do anymore? I made my lunch for tomorrow and started work on today’s diary, just before Oscar came home from work.

 I’d like to think that I could get to sleep early tonight, to prepare for the 3 AM wake up call. I have to be at the airport by at least 5 am for the 7 am flight. Grrrrrrr. Then after almost the five hour flight time + three hours in time zone differences, a 1 ½ hour stop in Toronto to get onto the Dash 8 for the last 1 ½ hour flight to Quebec. At least one zombie will be getting off the plane at Quebec and thanking her lucky stars she gets a stopover on the way from Melbourne.
