Busy, Busy

We can sit for days and not do anything more than going to the gym and for a bike ride. We sometimes complain about the boredom, but after a day like yesterday we realize how nice it is just to hang around the house.

I have been after Fred for three years to clean out his hoard of junk in the laundry room....with very few results. A couple of days ago I decided to do the dreaded task myself. Now that got action!

I am in no way a hoarder and I know Fred feared for his precious stack of junk so he was on the job pretty quickly.

Even he had to admit that the boxes of stuff that are sitting in the spare bedroom are nothing more than useless.  Some we can give away, but most is designated for the garbage pick up.

Needing paint for the room, we combined that task with multiple others and came away pretty tired. It was hot in the car, hot outside and hot in almost every building we were in.

Getting water is an almost daily occurance so this was the easy one.



Finding the proper paint was the most annoying of the tasks completed today. San Carlos was out of Fred's chosen colour so off to Guaymas we go.



Fred was to have follow up ultrasound in Canada in March, but we somehow got this schedule all mixed up so needed to get one down here. The clinic in San Carlos is state-of-the-art and can rival any in Canada. The only problem is that you need to pay to have it translated to English....which we were doing yesterday.

A doctor's referral is not needed...just a little cash. They supply you with the diagnosis and a disk to send to your doctor. Adelle/Anne, hopefully I can convince Fred to get it transported to Canada for his doctor to look at.  We may have to ask you guys to get it to where it has to go.


While we were on the move we thought maybe we should look for new kitchen stools as the heat has taken a toll on the ones here. No luck as of yet! Anyone have a spare $1000 Cdn per stool? Pretty classy stools, but way out of our range!
