bout a million calories

Finally figured out how to be able to post stuff,cheated and downloaded Google Chrome.
Windows7 will make my hair greyer that it already is,when I lost xp,I lost all my addresses including the breeder.I need to get Billy"s vet records.Harry has to get his Rabie shot and so does Billy.Billy has lost all his excess weight,he looks thin compared to Harry but Harry has shed some blubber,too.Billy just loves Ian and likes to sit on his lap to get scratched and rubbed and Ian is so pleased with him.We have bought another small crate for travelling and another harness for him.his is black and Harrys is red.They drive me crazy when they start to wrestle during the night,I have to go sleep in the recliner.

We went camping in September at 2 places,but have winterized the trailer.Tomorrow will be a day trip,bringing the dogs because its supposed to be 24C and I dont like to leave them all day.The bladder infection from hell seems to be gone but I just finished the 2 week prescription yesterday morning. I dont really want to get IV antibiotics,hate the thought of them poking around for a possible vein.

It seems like my whole life has revolved around my bladder,pee and hurt or pee and dont hurt. I am hoping it will snow,dont dare say that to people we know.some are farmers with crops still needing to be combined. It is boring with bald trees ans only above normal temps. Well,I have to get some sleep,we are getting up early to go fishing,I will either sleep on the way up or on the way home but it is a safe bet I will be asleep at some time tomorrow!!nite all.now that I finally figured this out I will be back with all the boring details that are parts of my life.

Well went to the vascular surgeon today.He is a real nice guy,did a lot of explaining why I wont get surgery any time soon. He had checked my doppler
ultrasound.They dont,as in my case,rush in to surgery because the doppler measures the speed the blood is travelling in the carotid. Fast is bad,slow is good if the results showed he would book an OR immediately.Mine is slow so I get a doppler every year but if I have signs of a mini stroke,I am to go immediately to the hospital and will be transferred to a big hospital in Edmonton via Stars helicopter.

Back.I barfed,dont know why but I started sweating very heavily and I just knew I had to get to the bathroom,it would be gross to puke on my computer, even though I want to get a mac.

I am going to go now,dont feel too good.will be back soon.

well,I finally found my blog,teenage gremlins had it off somewhere.It is still smokey outside,been coughing a lot,sure yesterday that I coughed up a lung.Our trip to Whitehorse was fantastic. Harry doesnt need gravol if he rides in his crate.When we would stop,Ian would get out and I would open the crate,Harry would wait until I finished putting him in the harness and wait until I was ready to go out. We hit a lot of smoke around Watson Lake,took a picture of the smoke lying on the road. Ian took a lot of great pixs,I took a blurry one of the ass end of a caribou. Needless to say,I told him I wasnt taking any more.
I personally helped the Yukons income! Besides the usual mugs and shot glasses,I bought sooo much. Of course the placer gold in a vial, Mammoth Ivory carved Raven head,and a whale tail,a pair of Silver carved earrings,again Ravens,and 2 other pair of earrings.

It was a great trip and really enjoyed it but next year its back up to Yellowknife.There are places there we havent seen. Got alarge rock and 2 smaller ones from the Yukon so will scrounge around every large gravel pit on the way to Yellowknife to find some larger rocks.They are pink and the highway is paved pink.

We are going to be by ourselves at the end of the month,daughter and grandson are moving to Hinton AB,and granddaughter will be doing her grade 12 with the kids she went with last year. Its not difficult to see her.

So I finally get to go to the Vascular surgeon on Tuesday. Have been waiting since last December. The smokey air has played hell with my breathing. Still think I coughed up a lung or two. I have my personal bottle of Buckleys with me all the time. Dont want to cough after a swig of that.

Had a chest xray and a sinus xray and if they show nothing I get a cat-scan. Never had one of those yet but they cant be any more boring that doppler ultrasounds.

We are going to have Harry's brother visit for a few days. The woman who was supposed to do it backed out at the last minute and really,what is one more Harry dog. The breeder is bring a male toy fox terrier up her to get his Canadian championship. She has run into a lot of red tape because she wont know which dog until she gets there and the customs want to know before hand which dog is being imported.

well it is almost 11:30 and I should get the meds taken and have a cup of herbal tea before bedtime,probably rooibos tea,love it.well will be back again now that I found my blog again.

wouldnt you know it we are in the midst of unstable air and we can hear thunder but no lightening,and the sun is shining. Ian went quadding but I had to stay home because they were going to the places that make me sea sick.Then I got stuck with Kristopher. He isnt potty trained and no daycare will take him Come hell or high water I am going to Whitehorse.Cathy is going to have to put in a more pro-active job with the potty. Caits starts grade 12 in September so she cant babysit then,we will be on holidays.

I can not believe the Lily beds this year.we have early,mid and late blooming lilies. I planted lilies this spring,Walmart specials and they produce huge plate size blooms!!
I prefer to plant perenials,more bang for the buck.Going to plant a Virginia Creeper next year and let it crawl all over the seat and over the trellis. wanted to plant some crocomosia,the red Lucifer but will have to wait till Ian realizes the only veggie we can grow is parsnips and spuds. Then maybe he will give me the veggie beds for flowers. Well I hope he does anyway.

well got the swollen legs fixed up now I have a marble size lump on the side of my leg. Doctor will think I am a walking accident!! well I have to get the chicken rolled in the mustardy,curry sauce before baking it.Caits invited a friend over for supper so will have to double everything.Didnt make dessert so will feed them oranges! Bye for now,will be back before long

this blog is aimed at Terry and Melina. It is none of your business what I put on my blog. I dont give a shit what you two think. Before it gets going,just to let you both know,Terry has received his take of our will. So Melina dont expect anything when we die.
Kristopher will be getting all your Dad's tools. Hope that makes you happy. Turn about is fair play. By the way,we know you took your Dad's belt buckle so wear it with a thought,you could have had it if you had asked.
It is too bad you didnt come to see your Dad while he was ill. You didnt even phone him. kaybe your kid will treat you the same way.

I was a little upset when I figured I had a very screwed computer,nothing worked,lost programs and with me fooling with it,it went from bad to worse. Finally had to resort to system restore. It actually worked!I didnt do anything today but sleep,dont know why. I got up,read the paper and then went back to sleep until almost 1:30.Of course Harry was curled up right tight beside me. I dont know what Ian did but he made little noise. After I woke up,he cut the back grass. He raised the height of the lawnmower and it just takes off the tips of the grass. Looks nice and green and lush but when it gets to tickle Harry's belly,we know it needs to be cut.

We are going camping for a couple of days,our trial run to make sure everything is in the trailer.

we were going to go this week but I dont like going on a long weekend. Usually the lakes we like to go to are filled,then we have to find somewhere else. Dont have that problem going mid week.

When we went to West Ed Mall,we walked from one end to the other on the first level,walked from one and to the other on the 2nd floor. Ususlly I am done after one floor! wasnt even sore the next day either which is a surprise to me!!

Ian bought 6 guppies and 2 red wag fish.Since the Beta dies we can have guppies. He would kill them by ripping off their tails. Was told that male Betas are like that with any fish with fancy tails. Maybe this time we can catch the guppies having babies and have them in our birthing pen. The fish eat the babies as fast as they can. Even the mother will eat her babies.

Tomorrow I have to get some fresh air,cant spend so much time sleeping,If I could sleep and listen to music,would be a happy camper,also read!!!! My back hasnt been too bad recently but the arms have been bad,used over the counter rub,helps for a while,as does everything.Could be worse. Well am heading for bed after I fill my pill box.Be back sooner I hope.
