Romance on a Friday

Well, I expected Dar to call me this morning to distribute the rest of the fliers to promote our services, but he didn't call and I was in no mood to hunt him down playing the usual phone tag of me calling, leaving a message and waiting for hours to call me back.

Why?

Something woke me up at 6AM this morning, and my instincts and common sense tells me I have a squirrel who likes to go in my tent in search for my gummy bears! they were sealed so I didn't think raccoons would get the scent, and on that part I may be right, because had one gotten in my tent I know everything would have been torn.

This little scoundrel is also the likely nightly visitor who wakes me up at night for the past week or so making noises near my tent and brushing against the back of it, where I sleep. I wake up to noises close to me 3-4 times a night.

I noticed the small rips in the 4 bags of gummy bears I had stashed in my tent. I have disposed of the bags but now this little rodent probably thinks in his peanut brain that I run a buffet just for his palate!

Ok, moving on.

Not sure if I have mentioned Bill and Joan before in my blog. They are nice elderly couple who drops off food and clothes for the homeless near 441 and Glades Road. For months they did it Mon/Wed/Fri but due to gas prices and Joan's Wednesday doctor appointment they now only do it Mon/Fri for the past month. They are great people and god bless their kind souls.

I usually get food and a shirt, or a pair of socks, hey anything that can save me a bit of money helps. Today I got 2 shirts, a pair of socks and a pair of jeans. Works for me. I shared my food with a dude I know who got there late just by 2 minutes missing the chance to get food so I gave him most of mine.

Tomorrow I will be working with Mark (BK night shift manager) on his move, he will pay decent for it. I'm looking forward to a good day's work.

Ok, so today I saw Cape of Good Hope (you thought I wouldn't watch anything today? no way!) which is a 2005 drama/romance. It takes place in South Africa and it's not about politics if that is what comes to mind. It's not about racism (even though there is some of it in the film in different forms), but about people. The story centers around an animal shelter and the people who work there. A woman having an affair with a married man, another worried about not getting pregnant by her husband, a black man from Congo hoping to gain a visa to Canada. Their lives will change and affect eachother in unexpected ways, giving the title of the film it's due. A solid movie to watch, I recommend this movie.

That's all for today.
