Couple thoughts

Couple thoughts...My cousin and her husband have moved to Quebec, he's in the forces and I guess got transferred there. She's a nurse... but she has to write some kind of exam or something, and has to learn French in 3 years. Also they had to pay some kind of "bienvenue tax" as he called it... an $1800 tax for moving to another friggin province???? WTF? The language thing I can see, but the tax is like a head tax. Sure, Quebec is in some ways a nation of its own, but it sure sounds like their bureaucracy is enforcing that it's a nation as well.I'm rattling around my apartment today. I have figured out that the only way I clean up my clutter is to actually spend time there, looking at it, then I get annoyed and clean it up. I have to go area by area, carefully looking for stuff that's gotta go... it's not obvious to me at first glance. I've potted a plant that I had stolen from a flower planter downtown, I'm finishing up a hem on some dress pants, I've finished crocheting a scarf for my new coat, and I have put the finishing touches on some crafty wood painted items. Yesterday I cleaned the bathroom and kitchen. Today I'll tackle the living room floor. And maybe change a bike tire inner tube.In another couple weeks, I'm going to a taping of The Hour. I told my cousin about it (she's 12) and she wants to come with me. I told her she has to be off school (they tape during the day) and I have to be off work as well. Also she has to make her way into the city; being 12 and all, I'm not sure how we'd engineer that. Hmm! It would be a hoot to go with her. I hadn't realized she watched the show, she says now that it's on at 11pm it's past her bedtime LOL I remember bedtimes. I have a few more vacation days to take still, I'm going to go to some tourist thingies in the area for good measure, hopefully a Cityline taping as well. Ha ha.I guess I'm a SOCAN member now. I got... nothing, except an email. I spose if I'd paid $25 to register via hard copy paper snail mail, I might have something on paper to show for it. I have an email to show for it. No probs... just anticlimactic.My dad held his new grandson at a get-together last night... LOL I think he'll have more fun with him when he starts to walk and talk and be able to participate in banter and gentle teasing.
