What did I get myself into?

I am going to Ottawa in 19 days to spend a couple of nights in a haunted jail.
I a doing this as part of research on my ghost book. I was reading reviews from those hwo have stayed there and a lot of people have had scary things happen to them there.
Now I know what you are thinking..isn't that what I want? hey I like to report on this stuff...not actually experience it..
I have a feeling I won't be getting much sleep on that trip..

How 2 Spend a Sunday in Hamilton

3:20pm drive up the mountain via the Linc East and to the new Silvercity movie theatre on Rymal.

We used a 2 for 1 coupon from pizzapizza, so the admission was only 10.99 for me and my fiance (he paid of course..lol)
Then comes the most EXPENSIVE part of going to the movies..the snacks..
seriosuly the concession stands need to lower their prices. $22 for 2 pops, popcorn and Nibs..saw "KNOWING" starring Nicolas Cage.
I loved it! The effects were good and so was the story line.
I thought it blended religious ideas and science together nicely.

Went to Walmart to see if they had any seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I want season 4), but they didn't. sigh. The guy who worked there was so nice and helpful..I should have got his name so I could tell the manager's that he's great! Yes I do that! Because in this day there are so many jerks out there. When you meet someone nice they need recognition so they remain that way. Next time I go I will find out.

After went to Mr Sub. Finally they have $5 footlongs (like Subway). And even better, my favourite, the pizza subs are on that list.
note: if like me you love pineapple, the only Mr. Sub that I know of is the one on Main street West. So I got my usual..pizza sub with jalapeno's, pineapple & mushrooms!! mmmm

my mom has breast cancer

well its confirmed
my mom does have breast cancer..
She will hopefully be starting chemo next week.
Her oncologist really wanted her to start rediation but she had a rare form of skin cancer 20 years ago and had radiation for that. You can't have radiation twice.
She had to take a leave from her job, which is good so she can stay home and chill.
but I am worried, even though when she's around I pretend I am not.
I am hopeful because there have been major advances in cancer treatments but its still scary.
Every paycheck I get I will buy a carton of Ensure (or its Walmart brand equivalent) so when she starts and gets sick from the chemo, she will probably not want to eat. Those drinks will at least give her nutrients.
