It was a short work week but a bit stressful. Finally, the residents of Slave Lake came home. Our building suffered only minor damage. But power has not been restored to them because of some miscommunication. I am hoping power has been turned on as electicians went to each suite and turned on the breakers.
I had to order close to 150 fridges and The Brick will deliver all of them on Wednesday. There was no firdge to be found in Edmonton. As the residents got home, they had to duct tape the fridges and remove it. We had a company to take them out for them.
The Red Cross or some disaster group had given every resident's home a bucket with cleaning supplies, gloves, garbage bags, masks, flashlights, ducct tapes and whatever else was needed to get started to get their homes back in shape.
Personally, I was busy trying to get tickets for my short holidays in the fall and Christmas. I was going to use Aeroplan points. So every lunch time this week at work, I was busy online looking for best flights, less points to use and less costs for taxes. I finally got my tickets for Yellowknife in October for my birthday, one for San Francisco for almost 2 weeks at Chrismas break.
Starting this week, I will be looking for escorted tour to Europe or Asia in the spring as a birthday present for myself as I reach a milestone. I had seen one to Turkey but it is in November, I hope they have them in the spring and one for Italy which is in April 2012 which is the right time but I am not sure yet if that is the best priced one.
I got my plants and saved some money. I also got some Aeroplan points using email coupons when I shopped at Sobey's. I am starting to be really aware of how can I save and get something when I shop.
I will have pictures of my no fuss balcony planting and will track it with pictures every week to see how it works. I think it is so easy and smart way to do it.
