My Vacation Time in Ajax, Ont. in July 2016--Saturday July 30, 2016

Today is a relatively lazy day, as, I don’t have anywhere to go.  I had breakfast and then I did some laundry at the hotel (thank God they have laundry facilities here).  After that, I tried watching a DVD movie or two, but the DVD drive on my computer was suddenly being uncooperative and so I ended up watching a Netflix show.  It’s a TV show that you can watch online called “House of Cards”.  I think that someone (Kathy?) said that it was a good show, but it was really the only show I was able to watch today.

I opened my mail that I’d picked up yesterday from the house.  Bell Canada seems to want their Internet equipment back since, apparently, they cancelled my services.  But, I am planning to pay them next week and thus, keep the equipment as they told me I should.  Other than that, I did some writing (something I’ve been doing all week) and, around 4:30 pm, ordered in a pizza from Pizza Nova.  Yesterday, I’d ordered in a lasagna, also from Pizza Nova.  There is no dinner available at the hotel on weekends (Friday to Sunday), so I have to look after my own dinner.

Tomorrow morning around 11:00 am, Brent is picking me up to go to his place so that I can babysit James all week.  It was a relaxing week there last time I did this – in the first week of July.  I wonder if I’ll feel differently now that my house is not mine anymore.  I just hope the new owners like it as much as I’ve liked it.  At least I have lots of pictures of the house, the neighbourhood, and the dog to look at in case I miss them.  Life is going to be a lot simpler from now on.  I won’t have anyone to worry about other than Brent and James and, sometimes Dave.  I’ll make sure that they all get their money from me and that everyone’s happy.

I forgot to mention that I thought I’d lost my cell phone at the house while cleaning up on Friday, but when I went to look for it, I couldn’t find it.  As it turns out, Kyle scooped it up along with some other stuff that was his on the chair outside and didn’t realize he had my phone until he was halfway up to Barrie.  So, I’ve had to live without a cell phone for now (till Tuesday).  However, that’s okay – I used Dave’s phone to phone the lawyer’s office and then, when I got back home to the hotel, I used the phone in my room.

Last thing I did today was to pay a couple of utility bills online (because they weren’t too costly) and then updated my spreadsheet for “Total Debts Outstanding” so that it would reflect the amounts I owe, as accurate as I can make them, and whether I’ve paid them or not.  When everything is paid off, then I am as free as a bird!  So, next week, I can start paying everything and everybody off and be done with it once and for all.


Well, that’s all for now.  If I think of anything else, I’ll add it in.
