To My Own Tune

Well today could have started off better, I awoke with a headache...never good..so I took a couple of advil and went back to bed and watched a movie, when said movie was done I decided headache or not I wasn't going to remain useless today, so down the stairs I trudged with laundry basket in hand, got a shower and then grabbed the towels from the bathroom and headed to the basement to start the wash.
Then back up the stairs to put on the roast for supper, grab something quick to eat and do the dishes...
Pat came home for lunch in a cranky mood, his tooth is really bugging him and it is giving him a headache and he doesn't see the dental surgeon until next week..
He knows not to take it out on me though...I have been giving him his space anyway...I know when I am cranky that I want to be let alone...
So supper is cooking, the remains of the laundry are in the dryer, my floors are vaccumed and the dishes are done..I was going to bake but decided I didn't want to...
It hasn't been a bad day really, I just wish I could make Pat feel better and get rid of my own headache.
Lots of Love to All.

Here I am

Okay so I haven't posted in a few days...Mom you'll get over it*S*.
Things are going well..hard to believe that I have been here for almost 3 months..actually it will be thre months this weekend..go figure...
Where does the time go...So what is going on right now..Nothing really....
I have been working, last weekend we went to the military dinner..thankfully it was completely casual, and a bbq...It was at one of the officer's Mess'. Good thing it was casual..I don't do the whole dress up thing unless I have got to..Hell Pat has never seen me with makeup on...Brave man.*LOL*..And for those of you who might be wondering..I "Clean Up" pretty good when I actually do get dressed up...I just don't like to is all...
Anyway..nothing new to report...
I Have tommorow off, so woohoo!
I'll either clean or read, and I have decided I am making a roast for supper.
Take Care All and Much Love to you.

Hey

Well Yesterday was supposed to be my day off, which is a good hting because I was not feeling well at all, but the phone rang in the afternoon, and seeing as it is enver for me I answered it. It was Carmen calling to see if I could come in for work as there was a mistake with the scheduling as there were ony two people schedule to work the counter..So despite the fact that I felt like crap I went anyway..My stomache really started to bother me wat work and Tenielle was growling at me to go sit down or go home early...I explained to her I wasn't going to leave her short handed if I could help it, then I wa asked if I could stay until closing because the girl who was schedule couldn't stay that long..so I agreed...Tenielle kept thanking me for cming to work like that, I couldn't believe it when I wouldn't sit down and take a break..I told her if I sat down and just stopped I was going to feel useless and it would be harder for me to start again, so I found out what had to be done with the stuff for the shake machine after she took it apart so that she could do other things that needed to be done...so I cleaned everything for the shake machine, bagged all of her dive-thru orders, and half of the other counter girl's orders as well as my own, stocked the mug freezers, forks, condiments and stuff...then went and got stock for her, the boss was downstairs and got some of the lighter things of the list while I got everyting from the wall in cooler.
I ended up leaving 40 minutes early...but it was ok because one of the kitchen guys was going ot go home early o he dd the mopping out front for her, so everything that needed to get done last night actually got done..despite the fact that one of the kitchen staff quit and walked out in the middle of supper...
Anyway..to lighten the mood..here is a little joke that Kathy sent me..enjoy.
The Knob

A woman in her fifties went to a plastic surgeon for a facelift.
The surgeon told her about a new procedure called "The Knob," where a small knob is placed on the top of a woman's head and can be turned to tighten up her skin to produce the effect of a brand new facelift. Of course the woman wanted "The Knob".Over the course of the years, the woman tightened the knob and the effects were wonderful. The woman remained young looking and vibrant. After fifteen years, the woman returned to the surgeon with two problems."All these years, everything has been working just fine. I have turned the knob many times and have been very pleased with the results, but now, I've developed two annoying problems:First, I have these terrible bags under my eyes and the knob won't get rid of them."The doctor looked at her closely and said, "Those aren't bags, those are your breasts."She said, "Well, I guess there's no point in asking about the goatee".

godd evening

Good day at work, Pat got back form Edmonton earlier than expected so I suggested going to get something for supper, my treat so we went to Boston Pizza, he had Chicken and Penne and I had Chicken Parmesean with mashed Potatoes..it was good.

I have tommorow off, I have the girls Christmas present bought, and talked to them tonight...

thought you all might enjoy a joke...so take care and my love to you.

BLONDE JOKE

A plane is on its way to Melbourne when a blonde in Economy Class gets up and moves to the First Class section and sits down in a spare seat. The > flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket. On producing her cheaper ticket, the hostess tells the blonde passenger that > she's only paid for Economy and that she will have to go and sit in the back. The blonde replies: "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Melbourne and I'm staying right here!" The frustrated flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and co-pilot that there is some blonde bimbo sitting in First Class that belongs in Economy and won't move back to her seat. The co-pilot goes back to the First Class cabin and tries to explain to the blonde that because she only paid for Economy she is only entitled to an Economy place and she will have to leave and return to her original seat. The blonde replies once again: "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Melbourne and I'm staying just where I am!" Exasperated the co-pilot tells the pilot that it was no use and that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest this blonde woman who won't listen to reason. The pilot says: "You say she's blonde? I'll handle this; I'm married to a blonde and over the years I've learnt to speak fluent blonde!" The co-pilot is immediately dubious and at the same time curious. The pilot goes back to the blonde, whispers something in her ear and she replies: "Oh dear, I am sorry, I had no idea," gets up and moves back to her seat in the rear of the aircraft. The flight attendant and co-pilot of course are amazed and asked the pilot what he said to make her return to her seat without any fuss. The Pilot replies: "I told her First Class isn't going to Melbourne ".

Highhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh HOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nothing major happening here..
I am waiting for Pat to get back from hockey practice to go to work..shouldn't be much longer now nd it will be high ho, high ho, off to work I go....winter coat on when I leave, no need or it when I come home...
But anyway I figured I'd get in a quick post before I go, and seeing as I finally told mom my good news I will share it with you, I got my first raise at work.
Other than that, nothing happening...
Just a quick picture though for those of you who are well...I think the title of the picture will give you the idea..Love to you all.

Snow

OMG..it's getting kinda cold around here..I am so glad that I bought myself a winter coat the other day..very smart move on my part I would have to say, now I'm gonna have to get some winter boots some more socks...definately a new pair of slippers...Oh is now a good time to mention that all of my winter stuff is stil back in Nova Scotia? Or is it a good time to mention that whatever cruel twist of fate this is, while it was raining yesterday it somehow got cold enough that it was mixed with snow...Now I love the rain, and I love watching it snow, I don't even mind shoveling the driveway, I actually like the snow, however I do not like being cold and it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to early for snow in my book!
Don't worry the above picture was taken in the wintertime, somewhere in the states, I jsut thought it illustrated my point nicely.
The snow never stuck here and as I said it was mixed with rain..
Love to you all.

Freezing...

Drum roll please!!!!!!!! Today's high temp was a whopping 8 degrees..and they are calling for snow in Southern Alberta over the weekend.....What does htis mean..I have been freezing my overstuffed keister off..You know it's getting cold when Pat turns on the heat!
Anyway, we decided to have Subway for supper, so I decided to ask Pat if we could go to wal-Mart so I could buy a sweater, we went..I sent him tothe electronics department while I looked for what I wanted..I bought a sweater and a winter coat...
So a productive day it was.
Made him cinnamon pinwheels last night...
Anyway..it si 10:15pm, I am yawning and I have work in the morning..so to bed I go..
Love to you all.
PS
Hope you all wore a red shirt today.

Headaches Abound

I have had a migraine since yesterday, went to work last night with it, managed came home, checked the e-mail and went to bed...
Stupid Barometric preassure...I have today and tommorow off, my plan for this evening..watching the firt episode of the new season of Survivor...Pat has band tonight so i am going to have to tape it for him...
We have been having a problem with hornets and Pat has tried getting rid of them himself and then finally called soemone to have it done..that was two days ago that they came and sprayed..no sign of any at all yesterday...Today on the other hand...I have killed two already and there are a couple of more buzzing around that I have seen so far....Pat is going to have to take care of this as I don't feel like being stung, it's not somehting I enjoy.
Anyway..have a good day,my love to you all.

Blah

Well I went to work, I survived which is even better even though a couple of times I hd to grab onto the counter as it felt like my knee was going to buckle...I din't and I am ok, taing somehtig for pain, it's helping...I have a short shift tommorow so no worries there....Pat has to stay up all night tonight so he can sleep tommorow because he has the night shift tommorow night, and lack of sleep makes Patrick a cranky boy...Fortunately he knows not to take it out on me...I warned him the last time..I know where he sleeps and if I have to wait until he is sleeping to get back at him I will*S*.
Unfortunately his interrupted sleep pattern equals me finding my own way to and from work which equals $24 in cab fees..oh well...I don't care as ong as it gets me out of the house for a little while..
Anyway I hope everyone had a good day, but it is now 10:26pm my time and I think that sleep might be a good thing, even though my shift starts at 11am tommorow.
Night Alll and take care. Much Love to you all.

Tell well spent

Well yeterday the office wa moved down to the basement, all but the one desk that my lap top is now on, since I will not want to be down in the basement all of the time and I will be able to get to my computer when my leg is bothering me.
Bought a microwave stand yesterday and Pat put it together today so the microwave is now in the kitchen where it belongs.
We snuggled up together and watched a movie last night before bed..It was a good day..My leg is still a bit sore but it is alot better, I will be heading back to work tommorow, I will be taking it as easy as possible though....I really don't have much choice.
Anyway, take care and love to you all.

Didn't go to work...

I hate that I had to call in to work last night because o fme knee but there was no way that I was going to be able to stand on it all day waiting on the customers and running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off. But I managed to hobble my way around the house today to get some housework done..I couldn't sit around doing nothing again today...I feel useless, and I ahte feeling like this.

Just wanted to say hi and let you all know that it is getting better.

Love to you all.

The Call of Nature...

3:45am, woke up, 4:15am, I just couldn't resist the feeling no more, the call of nature.
so I swung my legs over the the edge of the bed stood up and fell backwards onto the bed as once again this stem of mine failed me yet again.
6:10 this morning Pat was putting it back in place for me and called work for me....
It took me forever to get to the stairs, slid down them....I've had it propped up all day, and I really have to say that this sucks...
tright now I know that I will be sleeping on the couch tonight as when I try to put any preassure on it when it is even slightly bent I feel like I am going to fall over....So I do believe I am going to be calling work in a little while and telling them, there is no way htat I am going to be able to work tommorow.
Pat just brought me some supper, and brought me my lap top...It was upstairs...
On an up note I was sleeping pretty good last night until nature called and got a nap in today.
So it is all good.
Love to you all.

Last Night

Well, last night Pat had Cadets, and I stretched out on the couch and actually fell asleep.
I used to have bad dreams where I would hit the wall in my sleep, just ask Mom...It was bad enough that I had been putting holes in the wall and ended up having to fold up this really big blanket and tacked it to the wall so I would have some cushion...
Over the years I have continued to have them,though on a less frequent basis, which is good...Especially when I was still living with A and the kids because my bed was against a concrete wall, and trust me it got hit it's fair share of times.
Well anyway, I never remember what the nightmare was of.
I had one last night while I was sleeping on the couch and I either nailed the couch or the foot stool..it hurt like crazy and caused my finger to swell immediately...I went straight upstairs to my room, upset over a dream that I couldn't even remember but none hte less I was scared...I went to my room and got ready for bed. By then Pat was home, he had called me into his room to see if I knew what the show he was watching was(an old one from when we were alot younger). He asked me what was wrong and I told him, he checked out my hand, and told me to ice it, of course I said no..I felt like an idot and jus wanted to go to bed...but he started to talk to me a bit more trying to convince me and I had started crying again, so he wrapped his arms around me and I layed down with him for a little bit, he rubbed my back and just made me feel safe again...
Just another show of what a wonderful man he is, and yet another reason why I love him.

Better Picture

Well Mom was hoping I would be able to get a better picture of my hair, so I managed to get a couple of shots this morning with the sun coming in the window..bare in mind my hair is still wet so it is hard to see the purple streaks.
Later and love to you all.
