Have to go into the Fort again tomorrow.Get the remaining boards for the pergola. Have to get batteries for the phone we bought yesterday so all the other stuff will work. Always have to go get something that we cant get in Redwater.

I am going to take the stuff off the shelves in the bedroom so Ian can take them apart,then he gets to build the bookcase.Bet each package will have their own alan key. I got up at 8:30 and Ian left to use a friends hoist,he wants to give the quad the once over. I kept falling asleep while reading the paper so Harry and I went back to bed.Must have needed the sleep.

Had stir-fry for supper,not much when I have to avoid cooking the broccoli and Singapore baby bok choy.It wasnt all that bad except for the rice Ian cooked.It had no salt or substitute seasonings to give it flavour. Bland on top of boring veggies made for a yukky supper. Then later he wanted a piece of ya pears and got pissed off because he said he didnt like them last time. I am going to eat my salad after I finish this and before I go to bed. Ian wants to put together a shelter for the Rotisserie because we are supposed to have rain with some snow on Wednesday

I am going to bake a big old chocolate cake because it will be his birthday, 5th of May and he will be 3. He can eat supper with his Punka. The rest of us can be there but it is HIS Punka.

Got the registration papers for the truck,ElCamino and the quad. Price didnt change . Still 186.45 for all 3. I pay more than that for all my drugs in a month.Have to get a couple of refills tomorrow so I can fill up my weekly pill box. I should go and wash my hair but I think I will just put it in a little poneytail and throw on one of my ballcaps.Usually wear the Ragged Ass Road cap,we got it in Yellowknife 3 years ago and there really is a street called Ragged Ass Road. Dont want to wear My Edmonton Eskimos cap, they havent started training camp and I dont want to jinx them.The only sport I will watch is Canadian Football. well thats all that happened today,boring as ever.bye for now

So we went and did the shopping. I must be a magnet for all the crazies,they always find me.Went into Giant Tiger just to look around while Ian was at the bank. Some old fart started talking to me and would not stop. I checked my lottery tickets [losers as usual] and got new ones for this Friday and Saturday.Still the old fart kept talking to me. Ian looks at me and I just roll my eyes,it is such a common thing.Went to a grocery store and had another weird person talked to me about the price of bread,how it is cheaper to buy store bread. I used to make bread nearly every day but I seem to be more sensitive to carbohydrates lately. Figured I was done with the crazies.No,I never find walmart people that look strange,I get the talkative ones. Could never understand why. Ian says they probably think Im friendly but dont know me.! He came close to being a homicide victim at that particular time. I thought WTF what did I do to deserve crazies.

Was going to make a stirfry for supper with veggies Ian can eat but after I got the groceries put away,my balance was out of whack and I just couldnt.Make it tomorrow.Besides Ian wont be home hovering while I cut the veggies with the mandoline. He figures I will cut my fingers off or something equally as bad.

It is garbage day tomorrow,hope I get all the waste baskets emptied for a change.

Harry is a bad dog,he chewed a plug in for the computer. We will now have to close the door of the computer room when we leave. Bought a new phone for the house,a corded one to replace the crappy one we brought with us from BC.It has large numbers,I guess one is getting up there when you need to buy a phone with big numbers!!

It is supposed to be getting colder. So much for global warming! Down to -2C tonight.And this is the last day of April??? I bought some foil wrapped baking spuds at Walmart.4 to a tray for a loonie,it was a good price so I bought 2.Then I had to get Sour cream-Fat Free of course so then I started thinking healthy food choices so I bought yougurt.

I hope to sleep in tomorrow, there isnt really anything that has to be done except find a home for the stuff on the shelves in the bedroom.There are 6 piggy banks but I am going to be rolling the coins soon,well,soon for me! I should take my meds and take Harry out for the last time tonight. All for today,maybe something interesting will happen tomorrow!

I am exhausted,was up early to read the paper and have my oatmeal breakfast.Headed off to Ikea.Bought 2 book cases,now Ian figures they are too big for the available space.I have a large wicker basket that I need to empty the shelves.Guess what.....I cant find the damn thing. The only extras I bought were 3 heavy based tumblers and 2 compact fluorescent lights.these look like a regular bulb .

Ian bought 6 fish on our way home,and I checked out back packs for Harry. He needs something to make his walk more of a challenge for him.can hold dog cookies in one side and a bunch of poop bags on the other.They even have a large choice of Life jackets for dogs,I wear one the odd time Ian can talk me into the boat. I swim like a rock,in and straight to the bottom!!.It is raining,and was glad Ian took plastic with us.It was perfect,like a huge bag,it was the bag that was on our new mattress when we picked it up last year.With the bedroom being torn apart I can get Ian to help me flip the mattress over,then end for end.

Harry is curled up in his computer bed asleep,running with his legs just a motoring,and growling and yipping. It is funny to watch.Ian is sound asleep,too.Maybe Harry will go and sleep with him and leave me for a change .

Have to go into the Fort tomorrow,Ian needs to cash his income tax refund and I write him a check for the balance remaining after the check comes.Bigger than usual this month but didnt have any big bills come in,like my books and subscriptions to magazines. I have been good only bought 1 book in April. No wonder I buy lots of bookcases!All I have to do tonight is write out a shopping list.Thats easy,have what we need up on the white board.I tried to think what else happened yesterday and today.Thinking real hard..uh...nothing.

I am going to have to get my doctor to hurry up my appointment with the vascular surgeon. I already have2 numb fingers on my left hand,a third started today as did a tremor. Not going to tell Ian for a while,maybe it will adjust itself. And if I tell him,he will get bothered and that cant be good for his already high blood pressure. And I dont know how any of this would effect his blood. It is probably nothing but I will keep an eye on it

I am going to buy some flowers for the house tomorrow.we still need to get 3 boards to finish the pergola,that will be nice to have something finished. Boy it will be nice to jump into bed and sleep if I want to.Harry is awake and went for a drink,so he needs to go out again. Talk again tomorrow.

well,I forgot to tell you yesterday that I looked like a "Walmart person" Ian said I looked funny.well,mr.fashion plate how do you look! I wore my comfortable yoga pants. Ian is just used to looking at me wearing leggings or jeans. Told him he could kiss my fat ass!! Maybe I will wash the yoga pants and use them as sleep pants. Ian has camo sweat pants and camo t-shirt he likes to wear to bed. Now THAT is a real fashion statement.

We washed the El Camino this morning.My job is to wipe all the water up so it doesnt look spotty.He wanted to take it Wednesday but I thought the truck would be better,we cant carry boards in the Elky. I went to bed at 2am then at 4,I had to get up and put paper towel on the 2 hairballs the cat left for us.went back to bed but Harry wanted to pee so after that I went back to bed,almost got up to sleep in the chair,Ian was flat on his back,gurgling,snoring,making all kinds of weird noises.I smacked him and he turned on his side-no more snoring!! Right about now I could use a sleep.Having dis-jointed sleep is worse that no sleep at all.

Doctor increased my insulin,its now 70 AM and 55 pm.My pen only goes to 60 but I just leave it stuck in and dial 10 extra and7 extra at night. I am not cooking supper tonight so dont know what kind of gourmet delight we will be having.It is hard to cook for 2,with Ian having the restricted diet and all. He loves beet greens but can only have the root part.Okay with me,I dont like them cooked so could have a bunch in my salad.I am going to spend a long time at Ikea,looking and asking questions. They used to have orange cupboard doors but they werent in the latest catalogue. This stupid blog always underlines stuff it thinks are not spelled right.It does not seem to like Canadian spelling.This is all I have to say today,my mind is a blank. Not quite its usual state. Have a good one. two angels for all.

We went to the Fort this afternoon,took the ElCamino out for the first time since September. It does not see any kind of winter weather.It is more protected than my large ceramic pig.I do believe we are taking the truck into the city on Wednesday,the drivers in Edmonton are maniacs. I made supper tonight,even veggies Ian could eat.

weather was weird this morning,had flurries,then the sun came out and it got quite warm. I was going to make pea soup this weekend but didnt have any split peas. They are now on the board so I can add them to the shopping list.My life is boring. I havent done anything interesting since I got my shots. Well,training Harry isnt exciting but he does learn. Trying to teach him"inside voice".We had a poodle cross named Pooky who did it on her own so I figure Harry could do it too.He is good with the come and sit but stay is something I dont think he will do.He turns his head to the side and looks like he would say if he could,'You dont expect me to do that do you??' We turned the furnace on for a bit because it was uncomfortable. I had to turn the heater on to warm up the shower room.I must have pulled a muscle in my upper left side back. Really painful when I move or breathe. I thought for a while that it might be pericarditis again,the pain is similar.but its not because you have to hunch over to stop that pain.I am getting a little fed up with all the charlie horses I am getting in my legs and feet. That is a fibromyalgia thing. I am going to get Ian to rub in A535 in my back and sleep with only 1 pillow to see if that helps. I have to do laundry tomorrow. I just looked at the laundry basket and saw that it had multiplied overnight. There are more towels than anything else,wonder if I shower too much?rofl.

I had an orange last night and had such a bellyache.Guess oranges are off the list. Ate 2 tums and it went away.Same thing happens on a much larger scale when I eat bananas.Ian has acid reflux but he can sooth it with tums.well,maybe something of interest will happen tomorrow,I sure hope so. Bye for now

I have spent most of the day covered with a huge leopard blanket and a comforter.I am chilled.Ian spent the day drilling holes in the fashia[sp?] board to get air into the attic. he still has to cover them with mesh so the bees wont make a nest up there. I have no energy today,guess I need a little warmer weather to get kick-started in the morning.Took until noon to get the paper read.Harry kept climbing up my legs to get near my neck.Cant read the paper with a dog under my chin! He was cold so I guess I will have to turn the furnace back on.It is chilly but there is supposed to be rain all week. We sure need it.

I think Ian is making supper tonight but am not absolutely sure. I could throw together some grilled cheese and tomato soup,mmmm,my idea of comfort food!!

I am going to have to fork out some bucks for a new medic alert bracelet. Ian should have one while taking warfarin. Mine is an expansion bracelet and it pinches all the time Maybe I should try a necklace this time.The bracelet I have is my 3rd in 16 years of being diabetic. Too bad I dont qualify for an islet transplant but I still have my own insulin creeping around the body. I

am very lucky that I dont have any nerve damage,or eye damage. Just am so tired of having to have a shot twice a day. Not to mention the shot of methotrexate I have every Saturday.It is hard to keep track of which leg I used the week before!!

So Ian is making supper for sure. He is going through the pantry calling out this and that. I told him my choice but since he is cooking,it is his choice. Harry keeps jumping on my legs,looked at the time-he wants his supper.There now I have fed Harry so he wont bug me for anything for a while.I have noticed that he keeps pushing me off my pillows at night,cant even have my pillows to myself!!Harry goes nuts when the crows are walking on the road and the front yard. He doesnt like magpies either. So Ian is making some rice thing that I am not going to eat.I asked him to bring up bread but he said the last stuff went mouldy. I dont eat all that much bread except for the dangerous stuff-garlic bread. I could eat that stuff everyday.!! I was going to do some dusting today but I laid down until the urge passed.Filled the dishwasher and ran it.I cant figure how 2 people can use so many dishes,its never ending.well,I must go dig through the pantry and see what gems I can find. nite all.

It started raining last night and rained today until mid afternoon. There is a possibility that it will rain most of next week.we need it,it is sad to see all the empty dugouts with geese and ducks just sitting there..I got my bedroom vacumed and all the dog toys picked up.Harry has more toys than any dog needs. He plays with all of them so cant really get rid of them.It is a touch irritating in the middle of the night tripping all over them.I dont like to turn on the lights because that will make me wake up completely and I can say goodbye to anymore sleep!!

Dont have an clue about doing anything tomorrow except to empty and refill the dishwasher. What I would rather do is watch old movies and sleep all day. Wonder if anyone notices the recurring theme of sleep.Yes,I dont get enough because of disjointed sleeping patterns at night. After a week or so of that,I start sleepwalking. Ian tells me I get up,get something to eat or drink,wander around for a while then come back to bed. I am lucky I dont fall down the stairs!!

I have got to check and see if I have any split peas,need to make pea soup. Froze the dumb ham bone and it makes me feel guilty when I open the freezer and there it is staring at me.. Next time I will make sure Cathy and the kids are here for supper when I cook the other spiral ham..

I am trying to get all the plants in good shape before they start their annual growing spurt. I have a small leaved rubber plant that started as a 21/2 inch pot,It is now 9 inches tall and as wide. The livingroom window faces east so all year their is bright filtered light. I am still looking for a ficus plant but no luck,will have to go to a nursery I think..I dont know what to get Kristopher for his birthday, We were going to give him a fishing rod and reel but Ian figures maybe next birthday. I will probably get him a Tonka truck or grader or backhoe.He is a great kid,loves his Punka so much and Nana is okay,too. My running shopping list didnt happen,dont know if it is because we dont need anything or someone rubbed off the board, white boards are great most of the time.

Ian is watching the Untouchables,the older TV show with Robert Stack,he of the expressionless face.Ian got his Income tax refund today,I got mine a few days ago but wasnt expecting anything and was not disappointed. Ian got back exactly what the Quick Tax said he would get. I think he is going to spend it on the trip to Whitehorse. I am not sure if I want to buy another pair of earrings or some artwork for a change. I have a bracelet of T'lingit design already besides the Haida Killer wale earring plus a pair of Raven stealing the sun earrings.Maybe I should stay with the carvings.

well, I really havent got anything more to tell anyone that would be of interest so will take the meds and try to sleep.bye for now

well,I feel like crap.been out in the sun and wind and got the full brunt of something pollinating. My eyes are all red and itchy,feel like sand in them,I'm sneezing. good thing I have antihistamines.They are a one ingredient antihistamine.

It is finally sprinkling.This will help with all the brush fires around Edmonton.Our county has a total fire ban.even now,it is still hot. Ian planted the sweetpeas,they have a lovely smell.I have to plant sunflowers,have 4 different kinds,some for the birds and others for the house. Have some calendulas for a pot and some california poppies.

Ian is going to plant some orange beets,since he cant eat the greens,he can still eat the root.We are planting 2 rows of hills of spuds at a friends place.They are planting loads of spuds themselves what is 2 more rows.Making plans to go to Whitehorse,making lists as to what food to take and checking places that have sani-dumps.No use lugging a load there and back. We are going to get a hoodie for Jackilyn with the money her and Grandpa got by taking carts back. I think that is more practical.we will get the usual shot glasses but I am in the mood to buy some jewellry,probably carved mammoth or something. we are going to put in a new card in the camera and I am bringing the old Canon SLR camera,it has a roll of 24 in it so might as well use it up.Tomorrow I am not doing anything at all,just take my antihistamines and sleep all day.I will clean up the bedroom the next day.well,Harry has been a little pest,I assume he needs to go out and I should take my meds.

well Good Night to all,will be relaying my boring life to you soon.

well I wasnt on the computer yesterday at all. All we did was buy some groceries and get boards from Home Depot.3 more boards and the roof of the pergola is finished. It has been really hot with a lot of wind.Grass fires all over the place. It is supposed to go back to seasonal temps tomorrow but I will believe it when I see it. Have had the furnace turned off since Saturday and the windows have been open day and night. We went to trap pigeons this afternoon but it is so hot they stay away from the grainary until dusk.Also went to shoot gophers. There wasnt any,they have moved to the nearest dugout.So we visited a friend and he was tearing down an old wooden storage shed.The cat had dug doen 2 feet and hit ice!! it is on the shaded side of the property,not much sun.Ian is going to plant potatos with them and we get 2 rows of hills. When we got home I had to go to bed,took 2 antihistamines ,my eyes were all gritty and itchyhad a bitch of a headache,still have one but its not too bad.The trees are coming into leaf and flower and I have an allergy to some tree pollen,especially cottonwood and poplar. My eyes look like I have been on a bender. Will be putting insurance on the El Camino this coming week, We will use it when we go to Ikea. Ian wants to do some work on the front end of the truck. I just want to get a couple of bookcases.and maybe something else.I like the accessories they have there.

well,I am going to take my meds and crawl into bed,maybe I wont have a headache in the morning.well,I dont know what I did but the font is different. oh well, I am just too wiped out to care

its late but I cant sleep so here I am.I turned on all the outside lights that have off/on switches. There are flashing butterflies and a moon that flashes like a cop car.

it is still hot but we should be back down to seasonal temps by the weekend. Watch the news every night to see where the newest grass fires are.so far except for the small on across from the hospital,Redwater has been lucky but all it takes is a cigarette thrown out a vehicle window or the hot exhaust on a quad and it would be a fast moving fire.The winds are strong which doesnt help,Hopefully we will get some rain this weekend.

I was trying to see how far back I could remember.I remember when I had the measles,my poor sister ran blocks to catch the ice-cream man and when she got back,I couldnt eat it or didnt want it.Remember the CPR ferry to Vancouver,the Chesapeake Retriever Poncho and him jumping into the pound truck.I remember the first time I saw tv,the carved lady in a rickshaw.There was also a carved piece of ivory with tiny people inside,sticking a piece of an electric cord into a socket and getting burned. I must have been 3-4 because I had red measles at 3.but do you think I can remember what I wanted to put on a shopping list.. I hope everybody gets like this,I dont want to get alzheimers and not remember.well,all the books I have read will be new again.!!

It seems to take forever for my sleeping meds to work but at least they still work.I hated it before,took hours to get to sleep,and 2 hours later I would be awake.I could put up with it for a time but eventually I needed meds. I can pinpoint when my health took a nose dive.I had pericarditis and pleursy, The pleurasy was discovered when Ian came home from work and I was talking to shapes on the wall.I dont remember going to the hospitalnor the next 2 days.first thing I was conscious of was a nurse doing a blood gas.they are incredibly painfull.I wish that every doctor had to have one then they wouldnt order them all the time.It is almost midnight so I think I had better head off to bed.

We have had the furnace off for 3 days which is nice. Cant see putting it on for a few coolish nights.

Ian put the last board he had on the pergola,will be nice when it is finished.He is painting the tailgate of the truck,carrying the quad with the tailgate down and there are multiple chips.Looked funny because it got to the primer and there was little white patches all over.He took all the badges off the truck and with the billit grill it is hard to say what species it really is.

Put the cat in his harness attached to the flexie leash.Harry went nuts running round and round only barking when he got near the cat.Baby Ditz would hiss at him but didnt whack him.

.Spent most of the time sitting in the shade.I will have to stick with roobibos red tea,the one I usually have has cloves and cinnamon in it which is a better cold weather drink.well, I actually did some housework,then I decided to go back out until the feeling past.I just had to give the dustmop a workout,lol. Did get the dishwasher run,but havent had the urge to empty it.I havent even taken anything out of the freezer for supper,think I would like tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Was reading a magazine and they had a fashion shoot,I was so pissed off,they used models that looked anorexic,I mean,these girl/women had scrawny arms and legs.Could give famine victims a run for their money.If they ate more than salads they might gain a pound. I have to go into the Fort this week for groceries.Ian wants to get 3 boards and I need more salads.plus,I like to wander around Walmart.Dont see any of those "Walmart" people,unfortunately. I am sure they are around but I usually spend my time in the pet section or veggie section. I guess the weather isnt warm enough. We are in a drought,but havent planted anything.Havent even sent in my seed order to Veseys! Maybe I will just buy sunflower seeds locally.Ian is planting sweet peas tomorrow.They will be nice this summer,They smell really nice when they are in the house and last a long time.

Going into Ikea on the 28th,I want a couple of book cases for the bedroom.We go on a Wednesday as it is mid-week and we can go down the east side of Edmonton and miss the Whitemud[freeway].while I am there will check out some cupboards. And I know I will come home with more than 2 bookcases,always happens.I should check and see if there is any plastic cheese in the fridge. Time to end this boring 'me'fest,lol.

well,it is late afternoon and has been sunny and warm. Did absolutely nothing in the house, Ian brought up all my gnomes and 2 pigs so I stuck them outside,Had Harry out for a long time,took him for a long walk and found out he needs more walking to stop some of his behaviors. It will take time as everything does with him.He heard kids playing in the playground and started growling.He really does not like kids.Ian put the yucca in the shower last night so it got a good watering then and this morning I watered it again.We did the usual,forgot to take anything out for supper.I guess it will have to be frozen pizza.I will eat my salad first then wont pig out on the pizza.All my Lilies are above ground and the hen and chicks survived another winter. Sometime this coming week we are going gopher hunting. My first time here.If Ian didnt fool around with my scope,should be able to pick them off without a rest.HaHa,I need a rest but can always use the door post of the truck.

He likes the fact that I have become a good shot. Never shot a gun until I was almost 23 but once I did,I was good at it.My biggest thing was if I could shoot a deer,when the opportunity came.I could.

Its funny,I cant watch movies or tv shows that show animals being hurt.I know rationally that they are not but tell my brain that.Its strange,that when we lived in BC,if I wanted a rabbit for supper I would go out and butcher one,same with duck or goose.I preferred to do a rabbit,it was less messy. That is one thing I miss,fresh rabbit.I havent found anyone who sells it out here.

I think I am going to get Ian to bring a box of books up because there is nothing up here I havent read 10 times.

Well here I am again. Bought some more trashy crap for the back yard,this time its butterflies that change colour. We then went over to a friends place,took Harry. He was not impressed by one of the old farmers,didnt growl but didnt go near. He had a time barking and trying to chase the feral cats.Tomorrow if Ian doesnt bring up the gnomes,and meerkats I will just have to smack him. well,if I feel big and brave enough!!lol. After my shower,my nose and chin turned out sunburned.Well,if I remember,I put on sunscreen because I even burn when we go ice-fishing. I am going to have to go back to the doctor,One of the shots hasnt worked. It has been 5 days,the pain should be gone by now. We had the kitchen window and the bathroom window open today. was nice to air out the house.Tomorrow for sure the yucca goes into the shower and the other plants need to be watered and fertilized.BabyDitz ate the tips off the little spider plants I had potted,the furry bugger. I will have to put them on a hook. I have been looking for a weeping fig tree.Had one in BC but I would forget to water it. It grew well but I need plants that thrive on neglect.Have no problem with things like Golden Pothos and dumb African Violets and Xmas cactus,that blooms 3 times a year. I cant grow any kind of ferns or ivy,they hate me.Actually truth be told,I get tired of them and just let them die.

At least Ian didnt watch 2 1/2 men. I now hate that show with a passion. 2 hrs a night,I would much rather hear a fishing show than that show. My job for the next while is rolling coins.There are pigs all over the house with coins in them and the pennies......AAARRRGGGHHH.I need one of those coin sorters and counters, would make it easier. I think I will eat the raspberries that are in the fridge,either that or I will freeze them for later or for a smoothy I have meal replacement drinks in the fridge but they are vanilla so havent tried them. well,there isnt anything left to say, except for my back it was a good day. I am such a stupid person.no wonder I burn so easily is that half my meds make me sensitive to the sun. going to have to put a post-it on the bathroom mirror to use the sun block!Dumb or what!! well bye for now.

What to muse about.Ian has finished his pigeon cage.Now maybe I can get him to bring up all my gnomes and solar powered thingys.I think I wont be able to get him to do anything until he has this pigeon thing off his mind.He is watching time trials on my TV,but at least it isnt Two and a Half Men.I am so not interested anymore in Nascar,what I am interested in isanything else.Have to take anti-histamines,there is something outside that makes me cough,probably snow mold. One thing I bought[ windchime] said it was solar,today I noticed a little red tab sticking out and discovered the off/on switch.I dont feel dumb,Ian checked it over and didnt notice it either.I have to change the CD's again,put back some that I like and turf the country.Etta James,Big Mama Thornton and some other blues. like bluegrass and will keep Ians cd of the PeatBogFaeries.Often wonder what it will be like when I feel old.Not the aches and pains,have had them for 40 years,so they dont count,just when there is no interest in anything.I have ordered some books-as if I dont have 10 boxes plus the ones on the shelves.I prefer hard-cover but will take a paper cover if its a good book.My reading is like my music,eclectic,I will read a travel brochure if there is nothing around.Have to take something to read when we go to Whitehorse,the sun is up for 20 hrs!!Ian wants to eat mussels but I dont think I want them tonight.I do have garlic toast ready to pop in the oven,my biggest weakness. well I guess I will end this and crawl into bed and watch a dvd.anything to get the racing off,that and fishing shows are like watching grass grow.

what is left of the day is sunny and warm.Got dressed and went out to where Ian was building his pigeon-catcher thingy. He looked up and said where do you want to go.I guess he can read me like a book.Went and got 4 more boards,then fooled around in Walmart. I was looking for some of those Walmart people.Guess its not warm enough yet.
I was going to vacum the huge dust bunnies but I did it on Tuesday .any more times one would think I was a clean freak.Ian is doing rib eyes for supper,got a bunch in the freezer.Once I have my salad,wont want anything but the steak.Maybe I will do him some bulgar,makes a nice change from spuds.I figured out why my sugar was out of wack-pigged out often on garlic bread.Dont usually eat so many carbohydrates.I have got to clean out my bedroom,the place of last resort for crap that doesnt have a home.might get that done but am going to spend time outside while it is nice.The laundry basket is still in there full of clothes so those need to be folded,then that will make more room for me to walk around.I need to get 2 Ikea book cases so Ian can take the shelves down,they are dust catchers and I want to bring up more books from the basement.It is just figuring out what day would be best,after the end of the month.Probably a Wednesday would be fine.well,not much going on,just my boring life.Wouldnt change it if we won the lottery,I would get another toy fox terrier for Harry to bug,it would be Ians dog.well,bye for now.

was a beautiful day today,sun shining and it got up to 16C. We went and looked around an auction place,looking at all kinds of stuff,had all kinds of machinery,farm stuff,cars,quads etc.Nothing that I wanted,Just what I need,more crap to put somewhere which means it ends up in the basement or in my bedroom.The auction is tomorrow and is supposed to bring over 1 million dollars.picked up prescriptions and got the mail.That was the sum total of my day.Lets hope tomorrow is a bit more exciting.Ian is still working on his remote controlled pigeon catching cage. If he does catch a pigeon,I will be surprised. Going to watch a movie tonight after we watch the Mentalist.I really am bored,dont know why.Maybe its because my back doesnt hurt and I want to do something.This is boring,I should do something interesting,like go on our trip next week instead of waiting until July. Dont go to the vascular surgeon until Sept 13,so we have to take a dry run into Edmonton to find the place. Probably send me for more Doppler ultrasounds,as if all the one I have had during the winter dont count for anything. been wondering if I should take up Yoga or something like that.oh yeah just picture me stuck in some kind of weird position until Ian saves me!!!

I hate the women who call from India for Telus products. I dont have telus anything,finally switched my phone to Shaw. It is cheaper than telus and can get on the phone with a real person.It pisses me off that the Edmonton Journal has customer service in Winnipeg!!Like any one there has heard of Redwater. I believe I need a new computer plus a few lessons. Ian figures just because I can get email,I should be able to do magic tricks or something.I am just 1 step above knowing nothing. Going to buy one of the "Dummies" books and maybe able to do stuff. I am in a bitchy mood today,dont know why but I am and its not my blood sugar.It is supposed to be good weather for the next 7 days.will believe it when it happens. Ian is going to fabricate a cage with a remote controlled stick to trap pigeons. Just so it keeps him busy. I think maybe I have spring fever,want flowers to grow and green things outside. well have rhubarb above the ground,that doesant count because rhubarb grows as soon as the snow is gone. Watched a weird dvd last night,The Happening.it didnt end like I thought it would so was entertaining. Might start watching the 35hrs of Spaghetti Westerns. will be a change.

I wonder why Global TV Edmonton doesnt get rid of their annoying weather dummy.She drives me crazy.SHUT THE FUCK UP WOMAN. she cant even get the weather remotely right.The CTV station has a real good weather person but the news readers are awful,can put up with the guy but the woman has weird different size eyes,spend more time looking at these strange different size eyes and dont catch all the newscast.Harry wants to go out but really I think he wants to bark at the neighbours dogs. These neighbours are weird also. If we come out to sit in the sun,they pack up their kids and dogs and go inside. this has been going on for 3 years. If they insist on playing dance music,I will put on a bellydancing CD that I have. They will then think we are terrorists. I need a vacation like not wait until July,go in June,or even May!!!I dont know why but everyone seems to do stuff to bug the crap out of me. Maybe I just need more sleep,who knows.could be I just need them to leave me alone. and I certainly dont need to remember stuff for Ian. I have enough trouble remembering stuff for me.I bought hot dog buns but no weiners, Could be going crazy,then who would care just stuff me in a looney bin and forget me.Nice family.back later

There is hope for spring yet. The sun is trying to shine.Would be nice if the wind would stop for a while. I am not sure if anyone is going quadding this weekend or not.Would be nice,the mud holes

should be gone.Although,there was a lot of snow in the bush,mainly shaded areas.Duh! of course it would be in the shaded areas,where else!! There is nothing to watch on TV,either.I watch Fringe and Sanctuary and PBS on Sundays. Ian watches nascar shows and races and fishing shows. Sometimes drives me crazy.at least he isnt a hockey fan. I admit I watch CFL but only when the Eskimos are playing! Supper is going to be a catch whatever is in the fridge night. I am so used to napping in the afternoon with taking the muscle relaxants that when it gets a certain time,I get really sleepy.

My latest tests confirm what I have been thinking,sugars are high[as usual] but everything else is fine.Had a B-12 but where ever I was bleeding,it seems to have stopped as the iron was good. New problem,low platelets.I will not have a blood marrow test unless I get put to sleep.Done enough painful tests. who knows what the next blood test will reveal.

new beginings

so,here I am,moving into areas I never thought I would. Why would I create a blog?? Becauseonly 1 person liked my stuff on Facebook,daughter said write a blog. I still dont know how to do stuff on the computer but think maybe I should. Words dont seem to come easy right now,maybe because I got used to facebook,and have to get comfortable with this. Here goes. Ian left this morning with a rifle so he is either after gophers or coyotes.Not the best time of year for coyote pelts,they are moulting so wouldnt be very nice. Im doing laundry as usual,didnt want to go anyway,just waiting for the prednesone shots to completely do their job. Might be good by tomorrow but who knows.

The ice is off the river and it sure looks good but low. Need rain badly.There is already a fire ban for Sturgeon County. Was a small grass fire across from the hospital.Harry is chasing Baby Ditz around the house.Every few minutes,the cat turns around and puts the claws to the dog but they keep doing it. This blog is aptly named,havent got anything worth saying as I read it over ,at least I can vent,about all the stuff that either bugs me or pleases me. Hope it gets better with time.
