Long Time No Writing

It's been quite a while since I've written here. This is for several reasons. The most important being the refusal of a certain person to remove them-self  as a follower. Also, I have been pretty busy doing outside work for my mom. However, now it's winter I will probably write on here more or start a new blog - not sure which yet.
      Anyhoo, life in Smith is not quite like I thought it would be.Yes, it's nice and quiet and there is little distraction ;but, there is also no chance of my getting cheaper Internet service in the place I'm living. Not because it is unavailable but because the landlord will not allow me to install an antenna on the roof and there is no other way to get it. Plus, I haven't really got out to walk as much as I should have because I've been too busy doing things at my mother's place. Also, the availability of options for shopping and stuff is less than I would have hoped. Costs are higher than I would have guessed and income just does not stretch as far as I had hoped. All in all, it's been a positive change though!
      Miss seeing my grand-kids though and seeing my girls. Miss the Internet access as well but not as much as I miss those people.
      Not sure what's going on for Christmas but it looks as if another Christmas without the girls or grand-kids. May even be without a Christmas dinner. Maybe I'll just sleep through it. I can't afford gifts for anyone anyways. I can't even think of a way to go to Edmonton to see the kids. Plus winter driving, anyone's, scares me too much. Sucks that they shut down the Bus routes.
    Well, enough bitching and griping. At least I've got a home this year! It's nice to have a place I can do what I want, when I want without worrying about what someone else needs/wants. It's small but it's home. Just wished it came with Internet.
    Still can't make up my mind about the blog. Any suggestions?
