We went to the outdoor shop in Coquitlam and bought boots and shoes. They were both needed. The boots of hubby had holes in them (mine too) and the shoes I wear and have been wearing this week hurt my foot big time. So we spent about 400$. Ouch. Life is super expensive. We have to go buy 100$ worth of dog food tomorrow.  Plus de vet (70$) for Billy. Sigh. Very expensive week.  Hubby being gone for two weeks should be cheaper On my end anyway. 

I have received my copy of ROOM mag (poetry, feminist, from the west coast). It seems interesting.
