Happy whatever day

Hello!


Hey I forgot to tell you that this Friday is a day off, heck, it's always a day off for me! Well here in Québec this coming Friday we are celebrating the "St-Jean" the national holiday here in our neck of the woods. Next Friday Canada will be celebrating "Canada Day" and here in Québec we will be celebrating moving day! This is the day that the government has decided to use so that Quebecers are busy doing something else instead of thinking or celebrating Canada. Trust me, apparently the government likes to keep both Quebecers and Canadians apart, the two solitudes as we are known. Why do I get into this fight? I'm a freaking Salvadoran, but most people that I meet me say that I have been living here so long and I don't have any accent whatsoever in French or English that I am a Quebecer. And when I have visited the rest of Canada I get the same compliment. What really matters is that we have two days off, this Friday and next Friday will be extra long weekends!


My daughter, my oldest daughter, has been in exams for the last two weeks and every time she finishes one she calls me to ask for permission to go out with her friends, be it McDonald's or at their houses. But why me? Why doesn't she called her mother? I got a feeling that dad gives permissions easier than mommy... Oh what a world!


Take care people, I'll go to the mall today and fix my watch!
