I am keeping this short as I am about to climb in to a THC bath bombed tub. I got to work to discover the wifi is still sketchy and won’t be fixed until the 19th or so. I did manage to get things done even if they took longer, and enjoyed a take out lunch of Donair, thanks to Cindy going and picking it up. I came home at a decent time and have enjoyed playing my online games and watching my shows. Having a night off is good for me, especially in the middle of the week. And now I shall soak all my cares away, and relax those dish washing muscles!
Today’s advent are deliciousI figured she killed himBut in the end, they tied the knotVery suitable today.Fun with the water colour App
I allowed myself a sleep in, setting my alarm for 8:30 and awoke not long before it went off which felt really good. I got ready and headed out stopping at GF supplies for some good Grease Monkey gloves to use for washing dishes to stop the leathery hands and save my manicure. I’d just settled in to what could be another frustrating wifi day when R-A called asking if she could have the electric kettle from Judy that I had borrowed for MusicFest as the one at Arby’s had died. I popped home and grabbed it, dropped it off and just made it back in time for my client call. She talked to me and I texted and emailed replies as part of the outage in the building is making it near impossible for my cell to send conversation. I can hear them perfectly but they can’t hear me. Once that call was done I took the opportunity to go to a client at his shop. I was there for 3.5 hours powering through months of bank reconciliations. My alarm went off and I rushed straight to Arby’s to begin a 5-9:30 closing shift, starting on Drive Thru 1. I was stunned at my inability to see the obvious on the screen, couldn’t hear properly and was discombobulated. The Shift manager and Backline ladies were awesome, catching any uncertainties before they were an issue and the patrons arriving at the window all shared a good laugh with me as I pointed out my in training name tag and thanked them for their patience. I did get into gear and we met our time goals for the dinner hours which was a good thing. Just so you all know, it is very important to be as quick as possible when you actually reach the window. That is the time that factors in. Have payment ready and prepare to drive ahead once you have your food. If anything is wrong you will need to pull ahead and wait anyway and it really does make a difference to everyone inside. I also learned to start with the sandwich/burger and anything that takes longer (chicken/mozzarella sticks) so that as soon as I ask for them they can be dropped in the fryer and make things that much faster. So many details that the average person doesn’t know. After trying so hard to get my head in gear, it was hard to ignore the vision plastered in the drive-thru window at one point, but I did and finally turned to see Rae-Anne and Roger hysterically up against the glass. It was an especially great moment in the night.
Today was the 2nd anniversary of Missy coming to live with me and I think she is 9 now. She really has adapted well to living with me… or rather I have adapted well to being her person.
Another lovely gift to wake up to and open. They smell good and took the day away for me.
A dear friend sent me this today and I love it. Who doesn’t love Winnie the Pooh and kind words!
Good grief, these two seem to have been drinking again…
I need to get my sleep back to a good cycle. Eating so late last night probably contributed to the terrible sleep I had and the brutal drag myself out of bed morning. I had a payroll to run though so I had to get on with the day. It was like a terrible hang over, my resting bitch face was permanent. My advent gift did make my insides smile though. Rae-Anne does really well at this!
I dropped off my donations at Community Connections and had a short but sweet visit with Erin. They have the best Christmas tree
Back at the office I made my coffee and settled in only to find the internet was worse than ever. I kept trying to run a payroll but the online connection to the software would time out and I would have to keep trying again. This exasperated the frustration that I could have slept in when I finally got it posted after noon. I had to put on my jacket and go stand on the corner outside to take a client call as I could hear them clearly but they could barely hear me. The IT guy was called but wouldn’t be coming until 5. The irony was that the speed test wouldn’t even load up as it was too slow uploading.
I did what I could for the afternoon and then headed to check out the Studio/Stage Door to fulfill my General Contractor duties in Peter’s place while he is on vacation. I texted pics to the contractor showing the best and the worst to confirm that the worst is only the part that will be replaced when the next phase happens but at least covers up the insulation etc. In the meantime. Gosh I miss this kind of work. I always love the construction industry.
From there I headed to Arby’s to grab a meal and celebrate that we made the top 5 in Canada for the Inspiring Smiles Challenge. Ashlée grabbed the reins on this one and made it her legacy for this outlet. She has given her notice for the end of the month and I am proud of her for sticking it out and making good changes to assist her sister. I know it must be tough news for Rae-Anne and the other shift managers especially but it is the best choice for her.
Rae, Ash, Kish, Cherry, Jen, Ste and John, the dream team
After dinner, I headed back to the GroundFloor for a Board Meeting. It was long but productive and we all agreed to some good changes for next year that I am looking forward to. The internet is fixed now and so much faster that I am actually looking forward to work again tomorrow.
I heard from Nigel today that his favourite team, the Crystal Palace plays in the stadium that the show Ted Lasso was filmed in. I love knowing this! AND, I can’t wait to catch a game with him there someday.
I have been working random shifts at Arby’s for a month now. This past week was 5 in a row. This morning was a chaotic mess trying to schedule all of us for a family photo as Ash was at work and i was to cover Gene’s shift. I picked up Mom after clearing off her car for her and we went to Bill and Deanne’s to await everyone. It was all a bit of a blur but the results are amazing. I am so grateful. I wish I had thought to offer to pick up Judy as well. Sigh. I do plan to print and frame the 4 generation one for mom for Christmas. I am so grateful to Ash for how well they turned out.
This is the whole dang group of us including Jonas and Eugene, he international students and Obie of course!
I had spent the morning getting things ready to bring to Erin at Community Connections. I messaged with her and am going to drop off two afghans, the one I made during Covid and the one I finished that Judy mostly made, as well as a tent to give to those living hard on the street this winter as well as some new Tupperware containers and toys for the single mom program. It is my season of purging and paying forward the goodness I have received this life.
When I was picking up Mom there was a family of deer. Dad was particularly gorgeous and unphased by my presence.
I look forward to an evening home to try out the mask from my advent. The packaging cracks me up
Mr & Mrs seem to have come to an agreement due to Jack’s council. She is cautiously optimistic
Work was a whole lot of deep cleaning business as corporate peeps are showing up tomorrow. I closed with cherry and kish and we worked our butts off. I was pleasantly surprised when Kish stopped me on my way out to tell me how well I was doing and she was impressed how fast I caught on. That was good for my soul. It is good to hear praise from my daughter, even better from a co-worker. After all, I am there to reduce the stress, and am thankful to pull part of the load. I didn’t get home until 10 and made some perogies and beans for dinner as well as lunch tomorrow. Now off to bed!
I got a good night’s sleep and found myself puttering around the house, following a weird trail of errands. At one point I was sorting things I had set aside and found a bag from Judy’s move that I had forgotten about. In it was a mostly complete heavy afghan. I set myself up watching Andor and crocheted with a plan to find an unhoused person to give it to. I think I will also give the one I made during Covid. It is the perfect way for me to keep my hands busy and contribute to the world. Finally it was time to get to Arby’s where I was covering for my grandson from 5-9:30. I was there early and was reading all the things on the walls when I saw my start date was one month ago. For all the different people I have worked with and all the different positions, I no longer feel much stress and feel that I am a contributing member of the team. Tonight went pretty smooth and I liked seeing things that I could do before being asked. I got to know Kish, one of my co-workers better and it was enjoyable. She was very brave to come here from India to go to school. She got her diploma and is only 22, pretty impressive in a ‘brave new world’.
Up and dressed in my Christmas sweater and sparkly decoration earrings. Realized I had not opened my Advent gift yesterday, so I opened two today. I look forward to both the bath and the nummy coffee. Was at the office when I saw a message that a guy was sick and couldn’t make his shift at Arby’s from 11-2. Although it was the middle of the day, I talked with Rae-Anne and I was needed so I was there until they were done with me just after 1. It was pretty chaotic as the card machine didn’t work at the drive thru. The parent company was working on it which even tied up the till to take cash. We did good though, a small but mighty team. They treated me to lunch after before heading back to the office. I ordered a Crispy chicken burger and it was delicious!! Back at the office, I got everything done that had to be done today and then was thrilled to be invited for a ‘Safety Meeting’ with the local workers. We had some good laughs and I was very happy to be included, and not stressed about taking the time. I dropped off the mail at the post office, consigned a pair of brand new too small shoes at Pippins and then picked up a few things for a friend at Huckleberry Books before finishing my shopping at Koots Roots. I do love to shop local. Once home I made my last Hello Fresh meal for a while and it was delicious before watching shows and relaxing. I am now ready for bed and it isn’t even 10 on a Friday night, lol.
Road is the warmestSo cold the ice is freezing up!
I fell asleep after my alarm today and then received texts that the wifi and internet were down at work but I needed to go in to complete time sensitive payroll. I had to shovel my way out.. again. Fortunately everything was working well for me and I got it all done.
I had ordered net lights from Amazon that weren’t supposed to arrive until Sunday so I had them sent to my home instead of work address. I received notification they were delivered today! I took time to go home and get them, and hung one of them on my front trellis so I would enjoy them when I got home later.
I left the office at 3:30 as I had a shift from 4-9:30 at Arby’s which I was happy to be at as it was Jarod’s last night and I had invited him out for a bevie after work. He is the longest employee next to Rae-Anne and I truly wish him the best. The shift was good although the terminal was not working properly for the drive thru and that was frustrating for all. I have much gratitude for Stu who is a whirling dervish and has no complaints. I think the Philippine culture for work is amazing. He just puts on a smile and gets things done. I tackled a lot more things under Ashlée’s management tonight and know that will add to my ability to do without needing to be asked.
I drove Jerod to the Blind Pig and bought him his first drink to celebrate his last shift and new job. It was great to meet his fiancé Lena and Ash joined us as well. There was great conversation and assurances that we would spend more time together. He is such a different person outside of work. But then, potentially, aren’t we all.
Awoke to the knowledge that I would have to shovel my way out. It wasn’t too bad and I got to work in time to take care of my payroll obligations for the day. Finished the last file and assisted others on theirs via phone and email. My cousin Becky dropped off my new scent sachets for the Scentsy Wookiee I sleep with. Looking forward to that. I left just after 4 so I could have a asked potato at work before I started at 5. Rae-Anne trained me on taking drive Thru orders before she left and I was off to the races. It was something that I had originally asked her not to put me on as I was overwhelmed by all the options and whether my brain could process fast enough. As it turns out, I kind of rocked it. I upsold some and only got thrown when a Skip order came through there. They are supposed to go to the lobby til to pick up and it was a wow what do I do with this moment. Got through it with the great team and even decided to pick up the same shift tomorrow night. It was too funny when not once, but twice, girlfriends came through and we had a good laugh as it was not where they expected me to be. The only downside, sort of was that I had to shovel a lot at the end of my day, meaning I didn’t get in for something to eat and a rest until nearly 10:30. I am not going to go in early tomorrow though so I will be fine. All in all a good day.
Silly deer pushed over the fence again and were here looking at me as I was clearing the sidewalk. I thought I took a good picture but it was a little trippy as I was walking toward them, shooing them out. They were not the least bothered by me, and a lot bigger as well
I had planned to be at the office earlier today but as I stepped out of the shower and was brushing my hair, I heard a vehicle drive up followed by a knock at the door. It was Rae-Anne who pleasantly surprised me with an advent basket of gifts. We ended up having nearly an hour visit before she had to head off and I needed to get dressed and on my way. It is my cousin Joe’s 60th birthday today. For years, I would call him on his day. Along the way I even lost his number but I emailed and Facebooked him. Imagine my thrill when he responded with an amazing picture of our fathers together.
Gene and Toni
Work was work, got a lot done, enjoyed Natalia’s company now that we are both healthy again. I finally remembered to take a picture of the lovely decoration that Emmy made me
After work I came home for a bit and then headed to Key City for the Parkland Middle School band concert. Grades 7, 8 and 9 all performed. There were so many grade 7s that they had to split them into two bands! This makes my band geek heart so happy and they were all so good. Lukas was in the grade 8 bank playing Trumpet and I was so glad to finally be there to see him live. He was thrilled that all 9 family that were available were there.
Lukas
I was surprised that my solar lights were on. It is true that it was a beautiful sunny day but one was under snow!
I was up and off doing errands first thing this morning. Stopped at Hyundai to learn how to reset the service warning, to Shopper’s post office to mail a few items, and then to Community Connections to drop off a full shopping bag of toiletries, clothes and shoes for the women’s shelter. I am actually taking great satisfaction in this downsize process. The next thing was payroll and books before meeting the new owner of my prelit Christmas tree and passing it over. I am glad to find someone to buy it as it is too big for my space. Back to the office to finish off another big file. A small part of one left to go tomorrow is a great feeling. Came home before 6, had some leftovers, watched a few shows and am now ready for bed only 13 hours after getting out of it. I feel sniffly again so that is probably a great plan.
I slept until nearly noon, watched more Ted Lasso and then went out in the melty day to take down some of my Halloween decor and put up all of my Christmas inflatables. Unfortunately only two of the five, my oldest ones worked. I got my further away items ready to mail for Christmas and went to Shopper’s only to find I had missed the post office by 45 minutes. I wandered about for a bit and thankfully ran into Steph for a great in the aisle visit. She always fills my cup when I see her and look forward to making a plan next month to get together. Once home, I made a good meal and once again settled in to watch Ted. I am going to be very sad when it is over as it uplifts me completely. I sold my fake tree and they will pick it up tomorrow. It is too big for my space so now I have to figure out a fun alternative.
I slept amazingly, awoke rested and enjoyed my coffees while starting to watch Ted Lasso. Jason Sudeikis is brilliant in it. He carries this character without playing it for the comedy. He is just so real in an over the top role. It is charming and I am hooked. It feels nostalgic to pick up an Apple Remote.
I met Rae-Anne at the winter market in the arena and was there for over two hours. The rest of the family showed up and I enjoyed spending the time with Sawyer especially. I was able to finish off my Christmas shopping and pick up some fun things for me as well. It was nice to run into people I know and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
An author signing a book for Will’s gift and wrapping it in journal paper to hide it
Next stop was home to drop everything off and then head to my Pedicure appointment. Allison really is great and she takes the best care of Throbby Bobby. I have such soft feet and pretty sparkly red nails now.
From there it was off to Arby’s to relieve a young team member so he could go be in the parade. It wasn’t very busy but just right and I did so enjoy it for the 2.5 hours I was there. It is just the right kind of social for me.
I came home and have been binging Ted Lasso and just enjoying the peace and quiet knowing I do not have to work tomorrow. It was sunny and relatively warm today and if it is decent tomorrow I will put up my Christmas yard decorations. If it isn’t, maybe Christmas cards instead. Who knows, with all the energy, maybe both!
The best start to the day was weighing in and finding I have now lost 40.6 pounds since the 2nd of January 2022. It is a huge accomplishment and I decided to put some before and current pics on Facebook. The support was overwhelming and really boosted my state of mind.
I struggled with sleep last night, tossing and turning from 4 on until I finally just got up and headed to the office. I had a HUGE file to get finished today and had many other momentary interruptions. I did manage to break the back of it and send off questions to the client before my day was done, so that was a relief. I admit to succumbing to feeling sorry for myself and getting more and more drawn into the depths of sadness. Two of the women in the office were especially kind and let me vent. Just when I thought I was going to be done and leave before enjoying the open house to celebrate the new Makerspace, Danika and Emmy arrived with my veggies I’d ordered as a fund raiser and there were so many big hugs that it was impossible to be sad any longer. Emmy has lost her first tooth and has two more loose. She is just adorable. I hung around after they left and had great conversations, a couple beverages and a restoration of my good mood. I reached out to Rae-Anne and picked her up to go to ladies night at Morchella Market. We showed up just in time to avoid line-ups and thoroughly enjoyed our Espresso Martinis which were included in our $10 entry fee. I was the first one to sign up for a 15 minute session with the tuning fork lady. I know there was a more official name to what she does but I forget. I was skeptical but open to the process and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The very first time she applied them to my left hand and right foot it felt like a pinball of energy up my spine and across my upper back which is where my stress gets carried. I breathed into it and all of the next ones radiated across my hips which is where the pain has been radiating in my sleep. I can only discern that the point of most resistance is what is touched. It really was remarkable and I look forward to seeing if it helps me sleep tonight. We shopped and laughed and had a good time before continuing a great visit at Rae’s house before I headed home. It was good to see all the boys and was stunning to see that Lukas is also taller than I am now!
The definition of depression for me is sinking into a feeling that I am not wanted around and that things will not change. Tonight I am reminded that I am in control of that. I am wanted, I am valued and I do have so much love around me. WORD.
I am obsessed about how close I am to a solid 40 pounds gone since Jan 2nd. The problem is I have had such a crazy schedule that I haven’t gone and bought fruit or healthy breakfast options in a while so I am mostly maintaining. I was happy to weigh in and have Noom give me a cheerful message this morning though.
I was jumping all over with files today, frustrated by not once but twice having to redo payroll as information was not given to me originally. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, but I have a lot going on and don’t want to make a further problem. I let myself get too hungry and bitchy so when I had to take my car to the dealership to have the service done and the new proper roof rack installed, I stopped first to do a deposit for FPPAS and then at Arby’s for a sandwich to go. Wyatt from the dealership drove me back to work where I took the time to put up the tree outside my office. It makes me happy. I am still debating whether I am putting one up at home.
I must say I am thrilled to have my car back and looking sharp.
I assisted a loved one with some official paperwork and then one last client over the phone to get her file issues sorted before heading home which landed me there around 7:30 and I had dinner ready just after 8. It was tasty and I am relaxed now. Just started sneezing though so should probably go to bed as tomorrow is another crazy one. By the time Saturday rolls around I will have worked 14 in a row and I actually wrote on my calendar that day DO NOT WORK.
I nearly missed the fact that it was American Thanksgiving. I really do appreciate my friends who live there and want only happy for them.
This day was just so full of strange little moments… I don’t know what to dwell on, except the most important… Will is 11!
I was up and at it early, feeling almost normal, no more congestion. Got myself organized to head out, including pulling my USB fireplace out of the shed where it was buried with my Christmas decor (soon to make an appearance). Some time ago, my friend Diana responded to a Meme that she wished she had a fireplace, so of course I had to give her mine! I love her so much and all the encouragement that she fills my life with that there was nothing better than to put a simple smile on her face.
Before I left I took the time to shovel the thin layer of snow and spent time mesmerized by the sun creating thousands of diamonds glistening. I only wish my phone had captured the splendor.
Once at the office, I managed to break the back of a very large yearend by having a conference call with the two owners. I adore these young women and the great thing they are doing. I wish I could share more but suffice to say, I am thrilled to be part of their journey.
There was some frustration as I had to do an extra payroll to catch up sick days I was not made aware of for another company. I am grateful to know how to do that now through their payroll company.
While I was on my conference call, Cindy ordered us lunch and I enjoyed Taco Time and a nice visit with her over lunch. She is busy getting ready for the Open House on Friday to introduce the Makerspace to the public.
Another Christmas present arrived in the mail and I am always grateful when they are the good quality I hoped for through Etsy.
I did have a conflicted moment when I learned of an event I was not invited to coming up. I see why and why not but still wish I had been invited. I work hard not to take it personally, not to go to my default of, “of course they don’t want me there”. I want to think, ‘it’s their loss’, but that is hard to come by when I am not likely to throw myself a company
party of one lol.
After work I dropped by to give Will his birthday present. Poor bug showed up at the door in a mask to meet me as they have all been so sick. I hate not being able to have cake and cuddles but he backed into me for a squish and liked his Rock’em Sock’em Robots. I told him it was the game I really wanted when I was a kid as they first came out in 1964! I love that they are still popular and can’t wait to play with him.
Got home to find three very fat deer in my yard. They had pushed down and jumped over the bamboo fence at the back of the yard. I was stunned how not afraid of me they were as I clapped my hands and marched towards them. They trotted away and leapt the fence before just standing and looking at me like I was a bug on the windshield. I put the fence back up and braced it. We shall see what tomorrow brings.
I let my boss (Rae-Anne) know that I am taking the last part of a shift for an employee on Saturday so he can march in the Santa parade with cadets. She knows this is a sacrifice as I love parades so much but it is more important that he have this memory. I suspect my grandson Gene is in it too and I will be expecting someone in the family to take pictures.
I was excited when I checked my mail as I had received a card from my mom’s cousin Bea in England. She makes cards from her own paintings and it is always such a blessing to get one. I haven’t even begun my cards… they may end up digital this year, although I do love sending paper ones.
I enjoyed getting home and relaxing on the couch. I found myself researching and signing up for free on a couple dating sites. Argh, not sure what I am thinking, but worth the risk. (I may or may not share my adventures here, lol)
I was awake before my alarm, feeling so much better. The first stop of the day was Signal Collision to drop off my car so they could polish out a previous scratch, pro bono. They have great customer service and I will always choose them. Zip drove me back to the office where I worked my tush off between network issues. Things are being upgraded in the building which is ultimately good. That is the mantra I hold. At one point my watch buzzed that my car was unlocked so I automatically grabbed my phone and used the App to lock it. A while later it buzzed again, which I thought was odd and suddenly remembered it was at Signal! I chuckled and carried on. When they called to say it was ready and Zip would come get me, I laughed at the silly autonomic response. While in the car, I told him the story and he filled me in that JD was washing the car when I locked it and the keys were inside. They had to use a slim Jim to break into it and couldn’t figure out how he’d locked the keys inside. You know we had a good laugh. The whole shop chuckled when I told poor JD what had happened. I met Devlin, who was recommended to me to paint my Willys. He said he will put together a plan and a quote. I got more than 8 hours billable time in today which may be a record this month and I still have energy which tells me I am on the mend. Woot!
Came home and defrosted some Argentinian prawns, made penne and poured over a bottle of rosé sauce. It felt so good to eat a meal. I was grateful that Sean treated with Starbucks and Cobs this morning though!
While it is not the ‘Vid, I am not well. I woke up a 5, was at my desk by 7:30. Stayed to myself although Tech guys had to keep coming into my space due to changes in the system. I warned them and sanitized but still ground through the day. I got a great deal done, checked everything twice and headed home before 4:30. I have taken Tylenol Cold & Flu, my inhaler, tea and a few Perogies for dinner. I have a barking seal cough if I breath in fully. It is now not even 8 pm and I am planning to head to bed. I need to sleep this off. It must be a bad one as I can usually mind over matter when I have to get things done. Stay well and safe out there xo
I awoke around 8 feeling much better, still a bit congested but definitely on the mend. After a couple coffee on the couch, I got chores done, folded laundry, watered my plants, got dressed and fed my pets…
That is where I was left with a great sadness as my beta, George III was dead. I didn’t notice him yesterday with all the in and out, so it may have occurred then, but what I do know is that I have never cried over the loss of a fish before. He was my buddy, my friend, my confident. I had him from before lockdown, before Missy, when I was alone with him. I talked to him all the time, he would swim to the side of the bowl and look at me, swishing his tail rapidly, like a dog. He was always responsive to my returning home, to chatting at him. I know the lifespan of a beta is only 2-5 years but I have never had one this long and I am verklempt. Part of me felt silly crying over a fish, I was surprised at the welling up of emotion, but he was my friend and I will miss him.
I think I hoped it wasn’t true, so I went to the office and worked on finishing a file for yearend and running their payroll. I am feeling better but didn’t want the one payroll I have for tomorrow to be late if I awake feeling worse. 7 hours later I came home to George in the same position and knew my fear was realized. I gave him a quick water burial and settled into the evening. I am going to try to sleep early again to give my body time to heal.
I do look forward to getting together with an old friend from Salt Spring Island who is in Cranbrook visiting with his brother and hunting. I haven’t seen Danny in years and look forward to getting together. It was great to hear his voice when he called.
Felt ok but had a runny nose this morning and a bit of a sore throat, so I took a day time cold and flu pill which cleared it up. Showed up for the 11-2:30 shift I was covering for Gene and worked my tail off until 4:30. It was a great crew, working our tails off on what turned out to be the busiest day of the month so far. I had a blast but need to remember to drink water as my lips were burning from dehydration by the end of my shift. I mostly worked the drive thru, taking payments and handing out food. So much joking and honestly, inspiring smiles, which is the goal at Arby’s. Rae-Anne is really sick and it was awesome how everyone on the team stepped in to get things done. I love seeing the owners wives pitch in when it gets crazy as well.
It was crazy cold today, minus 20 when I got up at 8 and the same now at nearly 11pm. The bonus is that it was sunny and gorgeous. I stopped for gas after work as I was nearly out and it was down to 1.69 a Litre, down from 1.859 the day before.
This evening I started to fade out and had a hockey game to go to so I wore a mask and was careful. I hope this heaviness in my chest and catch in my throat goes away soon as it has been a long time since I’ve been sick and I don’t usually feel this way until February! It was fun for numerous reasons at the game. It was Turkey Day, where Steve raced Stagger to score for $500 donated by the Bucks to the Chamber Turkey Drive, there was the Arby’s minute, where if the Buck’s scored everyone got free curly fries. The guy standing up behind us was yelling loudly, Curly Fries, Curly Fries. No luck though.
Made some poutine at home before the game and enjoyed a mulled wine while I was there which both helped.
