I keep mixing up the time. I changed my watch, but not my phone. For some reason it didn’t change automatically. I know that it’s supposed to. My iPad did. So, whenever I just glance to check the time I forget what device is on BC time and which is still on Alberta time. At least it’s just an hour difference, if I mix it up it won’t be a tragedy.

We went to the beach today. It was super windy. The water was really choppy and it was overcast. It wasn’t cold exactly, but it certainly wasn’t great. My little Aggy puppy had a blast in the sand! She was so so funny! She was jumping and running at first. Then, she started digging in the sand. It was dry sand and continued refilling as she dug. She was a little digging machine! It made me want to change her name to Digger. Even though it was windy, the sand wasn’t blowing. Nope. The only sand that flew at us was the sand that Aggy was madly digging. She was right beside the mat we were sitting on and all of the sand that she dug through came at us like crazy. She’s such a little monkey! She would put her whole face in the sand to move it. Then she’d put her head up and try to shake it off. She’s one of those breeds who continuously has the goopy eye stuff running. The sand managed to stick to the eye goop and her little damp black nose, but she didn’t care. She would just shake her head and then get back to digging. She’d find a stick, chew and play with it. Then drop it and dig somewhere else and find a new thing to sniff and chew on. She was so silly. She definitely provided the entertainment for the day. When we got back to my parent’s, we decided that she really needed a bath. We didn’t have any puppy shampoo, but even just washing her off with water would help. And, this is when we discovered that Aggy is petrified of baths. My daughter still had her bathing suit on so she sat in the tub holding her while my mom tried to clean her off. She was so so scared. Here’s a pic of the scared little one.
She survived the semi-bath and, after our walk tonight, she’s utterly exhausted, as am I. Today was long for me too. I’m hurting so so darn much. I’m off to bed. Night night.

I slept in really late today. I actually didn’t expect to. I don’t sleep as well when I’m not in my own bed. However, the next best place is my parent’s house. There is still a sense of comfort or homey-ness (yes, I realize that’s not an actual word!) Sleeping late isn’t exactly new territory for me. I just generally wake up earlier if I’m not home. I thought I’d hear everyone, but nope. I slept really late.

We didn’t actually do that much today. Hung around the house just visiting and relaxing. I only left the house to go to the grocery store. My face is super bad today. So so much pain today. Some of the worst shocks in a while. I’m not sure why. Probably due to a lot of factors: late late night, long driving day yesterday, Trigeminal Neuralgia… He He He! We just spent the evening playing phase 10. I’m tired, in pain and it’s late for my little man. So tonight’s post is a short one again. Until tomorrow…

Long Driving Day

We spent the day on the road. Just got semi-settled in. I’m super tired. The altitude gets to me. Well, I’m assuming that’s what it is… The same thing happened the past few years when driving through the mountains. So, I am done in for the day. Night all😴

Frustrating

I had a long busy day. However, I still have way too much to do! I’m not done packing, at all!! We plan on leaving around 9:00 in the morning, but I am so so not ready! My Dr appointment took longer than usual today. I arrived about 10 minutes late, due to many many blocks of construction that I hadn’t planned for. Had a bit of running around to do once I left the Dr’s office. Including going to the book store to pick up the book on mindfulness that my pain Dr recommended. I dropped off my prescriptions and went through all that I would need to make sure I wouldn’t run out while in BC. Then, after his football game, my hubby went to the pharmacy to pick them up. Once home, I noticed that one of my prescriptions wasn’t here. When I called she said that they didn’t carry that dose and they had to order it in. Of course, it won’t be in until around noon!!!! Of course it’s a triplicate prescription, which cannot just be transferred. She didn’t actually fill it, so I could still take it somewhere else if I need to. But, of course, none of this happened until right when the store, and almost all other pharmacies, was about to close. Sigh…I just spent over an hour calling pharmacies that were still open and, it turns out, most pharmacies don’t carry this dose unless they have a patient that they need to special order it for…yup. Don’t know what else to say, feeling frustrated and totally unprepared.

Find Your Way

Today I tried to catch up on laundry so that I can pack tomorrow. The kids and I are off to BC with my mom and dad on Tuesday. So, of course, I left most of the laundry until today because that’s just what I do. Story of my life. Last minute, last minute, last minute. Some things never change. Once a procrastinator always a procrastinator!

I figure, there is always going to be a to do list. There’s always going to be something that needs to get done. Just one more thing…it doesn’t end. There has to be a way to prioritize the list, or it can drive you mad. These days everything is so go, go, go. It’s like if I do nothing, whether or not I feel sick, I’m judged negatively. If you like to relax, you’re lazy. If all you do is work, you’re a workaholic who should spend more time relaxing (ie: being lazy). There is no “right way”. Some people are night owls and some are morning people. Some find time with friends and fun is a great way to let go. Other people crave and need alone-time to recharge. Some people follow their kids around picking up every toy scattered behind them. Others have the kids help tidy, while others tidy up once the kids are in bed. If I regularly eat supper at 7:00, when the average time may be 5:30, does that make me a bad person? Am I doing things “wrong”? And, hey, who gets to decide what is right or wrong anyway?? Why do we let others dictate how we live our lives? Again, I say, there is no “right way.” Everyone needs to find “their way”. Figure out what fits with you. What feels right. Then once you find your sweet-spot, when you’ve discovered “your way”, live your life without apology. Yet, be kind to those who may continue to judge you. Wish them all the best and hope for them to find “their way.”

Right now I am so very tired. I have nothing tonight, not feeling inspired. My hubby is home, I’m so very glad. I picked my daughter up from camp,the goodbyes make her sad. Now everyone is home and I like it like this. Patterns fall back to normal and there’s no-one to miss. We’re all feeling exhausted and just done in. There’s so much house work to do, but I’m waiting until tomorrow to begin. I have a lot to do to get us on our way, because the kids and I are to my parent’s to stay. We’re going to be away for a week or so, but my hubby has to stay home, he just can’t go. He has too much work he has to get done, he’ll be working while we’re having fun. I promised myself I wouldn’t go to bed late, so if you want anymore you’ll just have to wait!

Feeling Frustrated

Well now I’m mad! I just had a long post and guess what happened? Seriously, guess because that’s what I’m trying to do because I have absolutely no idea where it went! I’m sorry but I can’t do more tonight. I spent a long time and ive already stayed up much later than I intended to. I was so proud of myself for getting done…sometimes I want to throw my iPad, or whatever electronic device happens to be driving me mad, across the room. Tomorrow our house will get back to normal. Both my daughter and hubby get home! It’s been strange with them out of town. I wanted to get more done, around the house, but that didn’t happen. My damn face is so unpredictable. I just really wanted to show my hubby that I’m not completely useless. He and my younger daughter were basically making fun of what it would be like here, with them gone, how useless I’d end up being. They were joking around, but it hurts because I have myself convinced that I’m pretty useless, but them joking about it confirms that feeling. Oh well. I really can’t write more. I’m going to bed now! Something is definitely up with this because I just tried to post this and it said an error has occurred. Like I said, chuck it across the room!!

Painting Makes My Heart Smile😍

Today has been super hot! In this heat it’s so so hard to get anything done when it’s this hot out. I don’t even feel like eating. Just nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. So, that’s pretty much what my day was filled with, nothing. Well, maybe a bit more than nothing…I sat in our living room, roasting, watching a new (to me) TV show on Netflix with my daughter. I think it’s called The Witches of East something, hmm, I can’t remember. I kept saying The Witches of Eastwick, which was a movie from years ago. I think it had Jack Nickleson, Nicole Kidman and Bette Midler (spelled wrong??) in it. And that’s super strange that I actually remembered all of that, it is so out of character for me – lol! My hubby is super good at remembering things like that. One of my good friends is too. She is super good at it actually! If you play Trivia Crack on the iPad, or any trivia game, you want her on your team!! Anyway, that kind of went off on a tangent, hee hee!! East Side! That’s what it’s called, The Witches of East End. That’s what the show we watched all day is called. Netflix is super good at drawing you into shows, because it just continuously plays the show, episode after episode. The difference with today was that I was painting a ceramic fairy while watching tv. It’s the first time I’ve “arted” in a long time. I was using acrylic paint, which is so different from the watercoulors that I usually try to paint with. Not that I’m any big artist or anything. I wasn’t born with some amazing talent or anything. Basically, it was the opposite. My sister was so good at drawing. I was super envious of that. I’ve had this urge or feeling that tugs me towards drawing and painting. However, I’m not an amazing artist. I wish though, because I love how I feel when painting. I want to take an actual drawing course, to learn the basics. I’ve taken a couple watercoulour courses and just really really like it. Most of the other people in the courses were talented and I felt a bit like a little kid with my lacking skills! But, I really enjoyed it. I could get lost in it. I really wish I did it more often! I have an amazing art desk (that my dada made from a China cabinet thing) but I never seem to use it. I should really find time to though, like once a week or something. I need to take that time for myself. My pain Dr said that I need to do something fun at least once a week. He did say “outside the home”, but at least it would be something that I enjoy. I suppose I do have some small sets that are portable and it wouldn’t be too difficult to walk or drive somewhere inspirational to paint/draw/write. Hmmm something to start doing…???

Stupid Stupid Wifi!!!

Our wifi is making me crazy! It keeps kicking me off or not letting me on at all. I know that my posts have been pretty bla these days, but today looks like it’ll be a short one again today. It’s a pain in the butt writing on my phone. Also, I don’t want to use too much data. I’m not 100% sure how it works. I think some times when you’re on certain aps the use of wifi is on continuously, but others use the wifi when you originally open up the ap. Then if you have to save anything, change levels on a game, etc it uses internet. I don’t really have any idea why I’m going on about this. Talking about using too much wifi on my phone while using wifi…huh – lol

The Bla’s

Our house feels weird tonight…My hubby’s not home right now & I had to drive my youngest daughter to camp this afternoon. So there’s just the three of us here. Kind of a strange feeling. There’s a strange kind of silence in the air. Hard to explain really. It’s just a change in the energy I guess.

Speaking of energy, I don’t know what has been up with me. The past couple of weeks I feel like I have the energy of a sloth. It’s like I drag my ass from one thing to the next. Barely wanting to move or do anything at all. I’m just a big pile of Bla. The pain has been bad the past couple weeks. Perhaps the bla’s go hand in hand with the pain? I need to get my butt to bed earlier and start forcing myself to get my fat arse off the couch to go for a walk or something. But, for now, I’m just moving it to bed😴
