It is snowing!!!and its the 29th of May!!! My poor alliums,the flowers were just coming out. I have been off and on in bed all day.None of the meds for my back are working. I cant cross my legs to put socks on! I may spend another day in bed and maybe I can get an early appointment this week with the doctor. We are going to the lab on Monday morning so will get the utilities paid and head out to Fort Saskatchewan and will stop at the doc's office in Gibbons on the way to set up the appointments. when they see me hobble in,I am very sure they will get me in on Tuesday.

I think I slept most of the day but could use a whole lot more. All I seem to do is sleep. Ian is so good, he doesnt complain and will cook supper as long as I clean up. No problem,if it was just me,I would live on salads,grilled cheese,tomato soup and Kraft Dinner. Corn and peas for veggies.

I have been holding off getting into the shower,it hurts too much to twist the body around. Maybe I can talk Ian into washing my back and legs.Yeah,wouldnt take much talking,rofl. Harry doesnt like the snow,he had nice green grass to eat now it is white. And he sure makes quick work of his business! Bought some child Gravol liquid,just got to stop in at the vets to find out how much to give him. I could just put a bib on him but I know how I feel in the backseat,have to bring a bag! dont want him to suffer.

Already making lists of what food to bring when we go to the Yukon. Oatmeal for breakfast,soup and sandwiches for lunch its just supper that has me stumped. Oh well,I will 'git er done'. well heading off to bed before I cant move. Try and talk tomorrow. Bye

Going to Edmonton tomorrow. Ian is planning the route by the places I want to go so it will be the west end,through St Albert.then up to 137Ave until we get to the northeast and come home.Should be fun even tho the retarded weather witch says there will be rain. We are taking the truck because some of the places have iffy parking.We will take the El Camino into the Fort tomorrow.

I fell asleep this afternoon and missed all the news. I forgot to take anything out of the freezer so we had soup and grilled cheese. Was good with my salad. I have to stop at Walmart,they are the only place I have found pumpkin orange spray paint. I want to paint the black bird thing I have in the garden and orange is a good enough colour. Have to buy cup hooks so I can hang my sleeping gnome. Also have a string of solar lanterns and have just the best place for them. All of Ian's sunflowers are up,mine are just starting. Just noticed that the alliums will be in bloom in a day or so.

Going in with Ian when he gets his bloodtest and will have mine too. Have to get a seperate one in July. It has something to do with my platelets. who knows,maybe they do tricks or something.We are going to the Yukon in about 6 weeks. I have to figure out what food to take and what clothes to bring along. We also have to figure out what to do with Ian's warfarin etc.

I think the dr will tell us to stop every couple of hours so he can move around.Thats fine by me,Harry and I will be up for a pee break anyway. We figure we will stop at Pouce Coupe for the first night. They have a nice little town campground that is cheap!!

I am going to see if I can get on the bariatric surgery list. I cant seem to lose the weight I need to.I have been to overeaters anonymous for 4 years in BC and never did lose a pound. I take medication that keeps the weight on,specially the insulin.Been on it for 16 years.I get fed up with skinny drs. tell me to use willpower.Any of the "groups" that are for chubby ones can kiss my ass,too. I left OA for 6 months,came back and the same people were bitching about the same things,they hadnt changed anything. I never went back.I would go for the lap band surgery,if I can get on the list.I may not be able to because of the hiatis hernia.who knows,it cant hurt to try.

well,I am going to end this and go sit out and watch the solar lights as they come on. Have a yard full. Will be back tomorrow night or Friday night and see if I can have an encounter with a walmart person,rofl

It started out cloudy then sunny now back to cloudy.Hope the solar lights got enough sun. I am going to the doctor soon,going to get Ian to use permanent marker to pinpoint the area that needs an injection.The marker will wear off eventually. if not,oh well,I will have black circles on my back.

Ian is giving me a great anniversary present- he will pay for my tattoo pigs eyes to be coloured and his wings also.Little sucker will have red eyes and grey wings. The next Tattoo will be a mosquito with attitude, and will say Bite Me.,my second favorite saying.My favorite is Kiss My Ass.the pig says....when pigs fly!If I was younger,I would have tattoos all over my arms.

Ian helped plant a large field with spuds,and helped with onion sets and a bunch of other veggies. We dont plant greens anymore because Ian cant eat them being on warfarin. I cant eat the amount that we would have.

I dont know what I did to lose yesterdays blog,cant remember what I was typing so it must have been boring.My daughter Cathy was rear ended on her way to work .My grandson was in the car and it was good he is still in the car seat. They spent most of the day in the Emergency.

She has slight whiplash and my Grandson didnt have a scratch. People dont know how to drive in traffic circles. The Asian guy who hit her didnt want to give her his info after she gave him hers,but she called the cops and he then gave her his info. Her insurance company wants to get her car scanned as it is a unibody and it may be damage not seen by looking at it. She is on light duty at work,how can a silk-screen hand printer be light duty.

I need to get my granddaughter Caits out here to teach this old bitch some new tricks on the computer. She is patient with me. I dont even use my cell phone,but I dont like talking on the phone anyway. I have to stop in at the vets,to find out about heart worm and how much Gravol to give to Harry.We are going up to Calling Lake which is about 11/2 hrs from here to catch some walleye. They bite really good when the fluff is flying. I will just sit at the shore with my dog and we will both be stoned-Harry on gravol and me on antihistamines. Ian can catch my 2 walleye and row in and give them to me then he can catch his2. Will be interesting day.

I might go into the Fort to get a couple of salads for me and maybe some caffeine free diet cola.Safeway has a good brand that doesnt taste like chemicals. well,I think I caught up on things now,but never can tell.My mind streams 2 different thought processes,so I find it easy to read a book and watch TV and not miss anything,yeah I truly am a mad woman lol.

Good night to all who read this stuff and hope you arent completely bored hearing about my life.

It is another crappy day.Havent slept well even with the meds.t is supposed to clear up by moday.Planning to go into the city on Thursday. There are places I want to go to JYSK and a liquidation place,then will probably pig out on mussels and pick up 6 more fish. I want to check out the saddlebags for dogs,Harry needs to drain his excess energy and he can carry his own poop bags and treats.

I spent 2 hrs scrubbing the deep fryer,had a boil over and the oil just seems to burn on the sides.Well it is clean now with fresh oil so happy frying.Should have the other bookcase up tomorrow,then Ian has to lug approximately 30 boxes of books. There may be less but if I take the ones I enjoy reading,most of them will find a home somewhere,either back in a box or on the shelves. Ian doesnt enjoy reading much,I read way too much but learn a lot of stuff. My head is full of useless information but it does come in handy sometimes.Its weird,I can pull stuff out of my head all the time.

The damn cat is scratching on the wall because he wants someone to bring down whole cat food.He does not like to eat little pieces,spoiled old thing. If he dropped them on the floor,Harry would be a happy dog. Today feels like I should have put the furnace back on,supposed to be 0C tonight. Guess I will have to get another comforter and throw it on the bed.

There is absolutely nothing on TV tonight. I guess I could always watch crap or a dvd. will probably watch a dvd.Dont have a clue when Ian will be back. Hope it isnt too hard to take out that transmission. Its big because the machine it is coming out of is real big. I could have my shower before he gets home,he is gonna need a big one when he gets back.well,Im going to make a cup of Roobiboos tea and read some more.Maybe I will have something interesting for tomorrow.Night All.Ill be back.

well,the heat is finally gone and the fire is now in control thanks to the rain we had last night and the off and on stuff today. Ian didnt go planting spuds,it was too mucky at the spud area.

I managed to get the dishwasher emptied and 2 loads of laundry plus I made supper. Havent taken any drugs yet today.It takes me twice as long to do anything today.Then I find out that Cathy and Kritter were rear ended at a traffic circle. Kritter was fine,glad he isnt big enough for a booster.Cathy has a mild whiplash,but wait until tomorrow!!She will probably be more sore than now. I still remember the whiplash I had,took forever to heal.

On Monday I am going to get my blood work done. See if I am low on iron again.Must be,I wake up just as tired as I felt the night before. I was full of energy,did all kinds of stuff when I caught a virus that gave me pericarditis. They found the pleursy 8 days later when my blood oxygen was so low I was talking to shapes on my wall and dont remember 2 days. so it was another time in hospital. never got over it.

Enough whining,sound like a crabby old thing. My friends like me,so thats all that matters.Supper was real crap. It was supposed to be meatballs in gravy over nice fluffy rice. I forgot to wash the basmati rice the 3 times so it was kind of gooey.

well this is enough for tonight,I am for sure going to bed before 2am if it kills me!! Have a good night and day,will try to be back tomorrow

It has been raining quite hard,with thunder. Hope the fire got some of the hard rain we did. I wont have to go out and water the potted plants tonight.

Ian is going to help out with potato planting tomorrow. I cant bend over good enough to help so will fool around and get some stuff done. I have to do a load of towels,there are only the ratty ones left in the cupboard. We went into the Fort today to get the paint, this time I took a hunk of the wall for their matching machine. Ian wanted to change the plug so he cut a big chunk out of the wall. The colour can best be described as Home Depot orange mixed with red.

When we got home it was 31C outside. 26C in the house. warm. all the fans were put to good use. It has cooled down with the rain so is at least kind of comfortable. I sleep poorly when it is hot,only because of the meds I take am I able to sleep at all. Most of the meds make me super sensetive to sun so I usually always use sun block and wear a hat,mostly ball caps.

Saw my first actual Walmart person. She was wandering around the store with gloves,earmuffs and a tuque.Did I mention she was wearing Daisy Dukes?? Everyone else was sweating as bad as I was,lol.I was not the only person to stop and stare!!! I had a few words with a dumb bitch at the stop light.She threw a lit cigarette out her window so I called her a dumb bitch and asked her if she would like her house burned because someone else threw out a lit cigarette. Ian sort of hid behins the steering wheel. I was not quiet and I was not polite. Her mouth just dropped and the light changed and we drove off..

We are having another series of thunder and lightening so will have to shut down. Will be back tomorrow,God willing and the creeks dont rise.
