Decided today I was going to have a “sick” day, well I did wake up with a sinus headache and thought , I haven’t used any sick time yet so I’m taking the day off.

So after I got up around and got the headache pretty much under control, I got into doing some things that I’ve wanted to get done for a while now…

got my dishes washed up, laundry in the washer, tidied up the downstairs and our bedroom then I got the steam cleaner out and cleaned the livingroom, hall way and our bedroom carpets and the hall upstairs.

After that I got the downstairs floors scrubbed up, put a roast in the oven took the garbage out, hung the new shower curtain got some dusting done, and windexed all my pictures on the walls.

Now I’m just having my coffee and waiting for Loralee to come over to have a nice visit, its only 10:30 so we’ll get a chance to have a nice afternoon visit, we haven’t really had a good visit for a while, seems when we get together its always to run errands so this will be nice just a sit and chat and have coffee visit. :)

Next Monday is her check up in Halifax , hopefully that will go really well and she will be able to start coming off some of the steriods and stuff. Shirley is taking us over , THANK YOU SHIRL !! your such a sweetie !!

Thanks to Shirley we’ll only be gone that day, we’ll leave around 3:30 am and should be home around 9 pm or so, which is great, the only other option we had was to take the shuttle over on Sunday, and do all the appointments monday (getting a room Sunday night) and then staying again Monday night and taking the shuttle back on Tuesday morning.

not only costly but a long ole time away, verses 1 day. So we really can’t thank Shirley enough for offering to take us. !!

and to all our great friends out there, we love you !!

Well the weekend is upon us once again :) Yea!!

dont’ have a lot of plans for this weekend, pretty quiet, am going to do a little cleaning and a load or two of laundry, take Loralee up to the drug store to fill the rest of her perscriptions that she wasn’t able to fill the other day when she was there, finish up filling in our passport applications, go get our passport pictures taken. and hopefully sometime this weekend meet up with Viv and Shelton for a visit and try to figure out excately when and where we want to go on our trip.

only 5 weeks of work left for me and I ‘ll be home everyday again!! At that time I’ll start doing the BIG cleaning,, cubboards, closets ect. maybe even rearranging a room or two :)

Here is something Faye had on her site, I thought I’d do it too.

Six weird things about me… The rules are as follows:

People who get tagged need to write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged” in their comments and tell them to read your blog, right, here goes..(I’ll do as Faye did and let folks decide if they want to do it or not, so I won’t “tag” anyone).
 1. I tend to “rush” in everything I do, be it cleaning or walking or shopping for groceries.

2. I tend to start a mulitude of projects and then some never get finished.

3.I eat healthy 90 % of the time but still have a weight problem.

4.I love a good movie night but don’t have them very often.

5. prefer my friends to come visit me, rather than me go out to visit.

6. dream of winning the lottery so I can have a custom made home with cubboards and shelves built for

a short person like me!! ( I’d finally be able to reach things in the cubboard without the assistance of a chair).

Hope everyone has a great weekend !!
