I went for a physical.
Oh what fun!!
I got to pee all over my hand trying to give a urine sample. Found out that I have shrunk an inch (better go change my profile) and found out that I am 40 lbs heavier than I was last time.
After that I got sent for blood work, my very favouritist thing!! And it gets even better! I get to go for my H1N1 on Fri just to make sure I am not too bored waiting for all my test results.
I had so much fun I think I will go and do it again next year!

chew this morning.
To sleep, perchance to dream.
It didn't happen.
There was no sleep, there were no dreams.
What I did get up with was a jaw so sore from clenching I could hardly have toast.
Off to attempt to slumber,
Wish me luck

The weather has been insanely nice for November here, so today I decided to take my buggy and take a hike down the trails to a store I rarely get to (not on a bus route).
It was a gorgeous walk down, everyone was enjoying the weather. Everyone passing had a smile and a "good morning"
Canadians and probably most people who live with a long winter are very appreciative of the kind of unseasonal weather we have had for the last 3 days.
I was on my way back, dragging my buggy behind me just enjoying the day when I saw an older woman quite a distance ahead of me. She had 2 large grocery bags in her hands. Several times she stopped, set the bags down for a minute then picked them up and carried on. Eventually she came to a bench and took a seat.
Now because I don't have a car I know what it is like to end up buying more than you can carry and struggle home so I decided to do my good dead for the day.
I approached her bench and told her I had noticed her struggling and asked her if she would like to put her bags in my buggy and walk with me. Without a moments hesitation she accepted and off we went she was very talkative and I was thoroughly enjoying our chat and walk when we came to the first entrance to the path, I hesitated for a second and said I am continuing on, how far are you going?
She was going up to the next main road of which there are 3 between home and the store. I couldn't believe she had planned to carry all of that stuff home!
She told me she was 74, told me about her husband, son, grandson. She told me about her home, her cottage and their place on the east coast. We talked about all kinds of things during the 20 or so mins we were together.
When we got to her exit, she thanked me, gave me her full name and said how much she appreciated the help. I thanked her for the chat.
It was a really nice walk especially when you think she could have just whacked me with her purse when I stopped.
Nice weather is an amazing mood booster.

Not me for sure. I am not at all into sweets I will take savoury over sweet, always.
After several days of "savoury" I think I have found what I previously didn't think existed.
I have a garlic threshold!
If you are at all worried about vampires just come within 100 kms of me I am sure they wont bother you for awhile.
I am officially off the garlic for a few days.

I have tried prolly half a bazillion times.
Life cannot be summed up in a few words the majority of the time.
I am fighting, I will triumph, I am doing the best I can.
Far from being at a loss for words I have too damn many but they are best used on the ones that need them.
Sad that there are still fights to be fought for the disabled,

but you characters sure know how to make me laugh!!
Hardly able to breathe I am laughing so hard!

Everytime I think I have my son in a good place and get my hopes and ambitions up, looking to the future and almost grasping it a new issue comes up.
I want to move forward, I want to be employed, I want more for all of us.
I need to be here for him, I need to take care of his issues.
If I don't fight for and take care of him who one will?
It is my job but once again I see no room for advancement.
I have to, can and will put him first but that doesn't mean I can't dream.
What is normal anyway?

Yesterday morning I grabbed my coffee and stumbled to the puter and before I even had my first sip I had a huge smile on my face.
Today I started my Christmas shopping. After much budget analysis and even more thought I took the plunge.
The kids are getting a Wii.
They are gonna freak! Huge upgrade from the hand me down super nintendo they have been playing. I am totally broke again but am feeling really good about it!
Feeling really good about the start to my week,

old guard, clique.
Interesting, nah not so much.
Seems there has been a not so quiet resurgence of those who chose to label them selves as such.
Way back when, I considered these people friends. With the exception of one and a halfed assed effort of one more that was disproved.
It is a shame really but then again such is life.

Quick definitions (clique)
noun: an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose.

The common purpose remains a mystery to me and most likely always will.

What I really don't understand is after the hatred, yes harsh word but that is what is was, why are they back? Is their friendship based on no more than a common web site? Shouldn't these relationships by now be srong enough to last with out a "site"?
The allegience to each other seems to be strong. The arrogance and assumption that they can step back in as if they never left and caused no difficulties for others is truely mind boggling.
I don't know what the reason is, nor do I want to.
Life goes on.
I expect the internet to be buzzing with frantic emails.
Really tho there should be no need for that. Look inside and determine what others mean to you before you decide to gossip and create your own reality.
