Good News Day

I was not expecting today to be as quite as good as it has been as yesterday received a very large bill for our old Alberta house for the alarm not being transferred to the new owners.  They sounded like nice people, the type that did what they said they were going to do but you never know with people.  $369! That was how much we owed until the end of the contract June 2014.  It has been over a month now so I was extremely worried when the bill arrived.  Instead of contacting the new owners first  I contacted the alarm company to make sure they had not activated it in the time since the statement went out.  It turns out that it was the alarm company's error, that they never credited our account when the new owners signed up.  I am SOOOO glad I called the alarm company first.  Anyhow, it is now all fixed up and we don't have to pay that money which would have been a huge pain in the tushie and pocketbook.

Then today, I went to Shoppers Drug Mart to pick up some allergy medication that was supposed to be on sale.  Apparently they changed the day of their sales cycle so the sale ended yesterday - drat!  So instead, I picked up one package of bacon on sale and will look for another sale for the medication.  At the checkout the lady in front of me bought a whole bunch of perfume for $100. She did not have  a shoppers drug mart card as found them to be a pain to keep track of - she offered me her points.  This works out to points worth $30 off a future purchase.  Woohoo! These are being saved up for use later in the year.

Finally, I have decided to get off my butt and try and lose a bit of weight.  My current weight is 150 pounds - just putting it out there.  I was 133 pounds when I met hubby 10 years ago and would love to be in the under 140 pound range again. Yesterday we went to the gym, the first time for me in about 8 years.  Hubby always been a regular once or twice a week gym goer but me - not so much.  I hated gym in school as am completely uncoordinated and have never been good at sports.  I survived the first session without too much fuss and am not too sore today so feel that this is a promising step in the right direction.  I bought a ten visit pass and we hope to go at least twice per week with walks on the beach/in the neighborhood in between.

So all in all it was a good day.  Now for a great weekend!
