You won't believe it but a "NO PARKING" sign has been installed across the street! It includes my drive and my neighbour's. Although the neighbour doesn't have a car, the prohibition on parking at the end of his driveway will certainly help with his property value!
Tuesday, as I was coming home with Syd from an appointment, I noticed a city truck parked across the street. Thinking it might have something to do with the CLOR, I went over to say hello. I met a lovely man, Mike Egan, who was here to inspect the site where the sign was to be installed. He could not believe that the city allowed parking during the winter on my street. He informed me that there were streets alot wider than Rosedale where the city prohibited parking from December through March to address the very issues about which I was complaining. Interesting. In addition to this, coming home from a weekend walk with Laurie, we noticed that there are two houses on Aylmer that have no parking signs just for their own driveways! I guess it's rather arbitrary! In any event, I can now cound myself among the favoured few who have convinced the city that the free for all is not working. Now, how to get the city to enforce the new no parking zone? CLOR may not be able to retire just yet!
On a totally unrelated topic, I have been asked to participate in a PICC dressing pilot. Gone is my horrible hard plastic dressing and I am now using a lovely soft gel dressing over the PICC. The difference is wonderful. Where once I wasn't sure that I could keep the PICC for the entire chemo regime, I now hardly notice that I have the PICC at all. The lovely Beth at We Care asked me to join the pilot because, "I know you'll tell me the truth!". Of course I will, whenever asked. What most people don't realize is that I bite my tongue alot! However, if you ask me, I'll tell you - so be sure you really want to know:)
