If you ask me, no matter how thick or thin, the best bacon on earth comes from Red Barn market in Victoria. (How do I know? I used to slice it when I worked in their deli and something about consuming pound after pound of raw bacon makes me an expect, even of I do say do myself.)
Suffice to say I am unimpressed with Sunny's, but they make decent chow mein, so I chow on that. Today, unfortunately, Darwin the Dog decided he too loves Sunny's pork chow mein. He ate basically an entire serving of it from the take out container we left on the truck floor, while we were in Walmart (the irony of the 'doggy bag' has never been so pungent). Can't wait to see what kind of diapers he's going to be making!
Anyway, this morning, for the first time in far too long, we slept in together, got up and ate breakky in the kitchen together, drank tea together, and went on an outing together. I love having family time on the weekends, and it certainly helps to grease the wheels by offering to hit up Sunny's on the way out.
We took the dogs for a walk down a lease road along some farmland, and it was beautiful.
The sun was glowing through some clouds, it was about -3 or -4 and hardly windy.
Zuzu hoping to be reimbursed for posing so nicely.
Listening to some crackling in the bushes - this calm attentiveness was shortly following by tough, big dog barking at whatever poor creature was scrambling in fear in the stand of birch.
What a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon with your animals (all three of them!)
We made our way back into town, to discover that snow had fallen while we were out in sun country. It's strange to see such a change in the look of things when you've only been out for a couple of hours!
Wheb we picked up groceries, I gathered a couple of baby-friendly items, namely an ovulation kit. I had no idea they were to be had in stores, and for about $60! This discovery was a pleasant surprise after being (extremely rudely) told by a shoppers drug mart pharmacist that they were not only unavailable as a regular stock item, but also very expensive (and that I wouldn't be interested in them, as "they're verrrrry pricey". Could have put my foot up his ass after that comment. Do I look that poor? I think no!).
In a stroke of good luck, it happens that the test kit wants me to start testing ONLY on my 5th period day, and today is day 4, so I can start tomorrow! How exciting! Patience is not my strong suit.
Wish me luteinizing hormone calculation success!
Happy Family Day tomorrow!
