Second Day of "Labour" Good Morning Thought for the Day:.... Of all the problems great or small, the greatest are those that don't happen at all. Coffee is dripped. Help Yourself, okay? Time & Temp in Toronto is... It is quite breezy here this morning......while walking the "ears on the Ladies'......where blowing around....funny to watch..... Result:...they don't like "the wind beneath their ears",.....so the pace was picked up today!....lol * * * * * * * * * * Well...here we all are again this morning! How was your "long" weekend? Hope the weather held for you? If you have read the previous posts to catch up......then you know mine was "active".....lol Never made it home last night.......until after 6:30.......again! (this working for a living sucks!) First call had some issues......again.......and was running nearly an hour behind....when I left there......(not a good sign) Thought second would be a "breeze"......but the "Mr." was home and had some "chores" he wanted done.......so there-in lies the time! Oh well....they are all "tickey-poo" now........for another 2 weeks!....lol Today I start in Markham and then finish back over by Toronto airport at the place I cleaned on Saturday. I sure do cover the road,.....& while I am at it.......I keep the gas companies in business. Just heard them saying some gas stations' prices range this morning per litre....from $128.7 to $129.9 That indicates to me that I should be forking over pretty close to $1.40 per litre...(premium fuel)! Awwwwww! the pain of it all......lol Gotta eat........and the only way to earn the money to buy the grub is be where the money is! Only way to be where the money is........is to drive there! Okay!.....time to pick up my marbles and move on!..... for today anyway. Have a great day Everyone. Take Care. Be Safe. Prayers to Those in Need.
