News is news good or bad

I went to my family Doctor today. I have to go every two months anyway for prescription refills however today I was slotted in cause I have been sick and there was a cancelation. My flu that I had is going around the area. It might have been made worse by the antibiotics I had been given at the walk in clinic for bronchitis. They stay in my system for 10 days after the last one take, so I still have five more days of sickness left. Not nice not nice at all. Doctor had no answers for my swollen feet and ankles. It is not high blood pressure. Now the headache that I have endured since January. She had some answers on that one. My neck muscles having been so badly injured in the car accident are very weak. The muscles are having a hard time holding my head up so are compensating by straining even more. Therefore the muscles are pulling against my front cranial cap. Very very interesting, but not really helpful. Not much can be done for such a chronic condition. Very down about that one.
One positive thing about having the flu as bad as I did. I am down 10 pounds. That was nice to see on the scale. Once I get re-hydrated I bet most of it disappears though. I wonder how much of our body weight is fluid? mmmm

Lost: I am a huge lost fan. I am shouting at the TV last night, they can't do that, they can't do that. What an episode. Very very good. Gearing right up for the season final in another three weeks. I will be sad without it to watch all summer.

I am a scrapbooker too. When I get my digital pictures developed I always put in the month and year after my last name, then it is printed on the back of every pciture. Really helps to know when the pictures were taken. So I go today to pick the pictures up and they could not be found under Grouch. She looks in a few other places and then says she will have to call me once they are found. Another trip, oh yeh, so she calls me a couple hours later she had found them. They were filed under A for April rather than G for Grouch. SO if you use this tip and they can't be found, then look under the month.

Sun is shining, wind quit blowing, spring once again. I love the sun.

Well, it's me, your new blogging buddy! That's great news about the ten pounds! Write that down in your weight loss journal! As far as your neck goes, I hope they can find some kind of muscle relaxer or something for you. It's just all that brain power your neck is having to hold up. :)

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w...

Thoughtful Thursday

Alberta headlines an announcement that there are 3,500 new positions for childcare in Alberta in 51 different communities. So I read the report. Which can be found here....http://www.child.alberta.ca/home/587.cfm . It comes down to 3,489 positions at the cost of $4,853,940.00 that comes out to $1,391.21 per position. Makes me wonder. Red Deer my community gets 68 positions at two differernt centres and $102,000, which works out to 1,500.00 per position. I just do not get it. I am pulled aside at daycare yesterday where my 4 year old DS attends full time. The owner of the centre tells me that C has left, that the other C is being moved to a new room, and that a brand new C, and J are going to start, and lead will be held by N who has been there two weeks. The daycare owner tells me she doesn't know why but she cannot keep staff in that room. I pay $775.00 a month for him to attend daycare, I pay $255.00 a month for my daughter to attend after school care from 3-6 on school days. ...

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.
