"Stuff"!! How's the weather at your end...hot and muggy here...was going to weed after the brief rain shower we had here yesterday....but the air was very thick....and my back still recuperating from having washed the kitchen floor 3x over on all fours (the old fashion way) the day before, when our middle grandson Riley (2) decided to spit out his juice all over the place. I would have been arrested for what I toyed doing to him! The room that our daughter was in before moving into her own place is now taken up as a storage room for Timothy and Steph (son and d-i-l). (Our son and daughter and theirs were here since mid January since the house they shared burned to the ground. No one was hurt, except for 3 pets that perished. Our daughter has moved into a new apartment, and our son has purchased a house and they are moving out of our place mid July!) The storage unit they have rented is all full!!! They're moving into their own house starting the 19th of this month! The repeat empty nest syndrome lol. It sure will feel odd to have the whole house to ourselves again! Steph (d-i-l) has a bad ear/sinus infection. She went to a walk in clinic yesterday, and was put on meds, including ear drops. Early evening, her ear was bleeding, which is not uncommon with ear infections...but I nevertheless offered to take her to ER, knowing that we'd be there for at least 6 hours...no no no...she didn't want to go. Midnight, as I'm coming out of the washroom to go to bed, she and Timothy are at the kitchen table...seems that now she feels she should take me up on that earlier offer. I said to her, "you realize that we'll be there all night 'till mid morning anyway!" She had gone to the internet, and of course got frightened by the comments and suggested diagnoses of her bleeding ear! (sigh....who listens to me!!) So I said..."call telehealth" (a telephone access here, that helps to give you a heads up about your symptoms). They basically paraphrased my comment to her..."you have been seen, you DO have an ear infection which may bleed, you are on medication for it, you do NOT have cancer nor have you suffered trauma to the head. Call your doctor in the morning if it is still bleeding" Who listens to me!!! So this morning, she called her doctor who will see her at....3pm, and the appointment was later changed to 7pm! Guess the doc doesn't share her concern!! So...life goes on in the Miller household! Sounds SO much like a soap that I should ask you to stay tuned tomorrow...same time same station! How's life at YOUR end?? hugs and best wishes....linda
Salutations Aqua!! Long past 4 days! My classroom is clean....student's hours of French are recorded....made some copies in prep for September ...and designed a new game to help in French. Yesterday was the last of the 2 day First Aid course....I passed! But MOSTLY yesterday was the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL for teachers at our school!!! I'M OFF 'TILL THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST!!!!! I was to meet up with other teachers yesterday at a colleague's house for a little year end celebration. Got in the car, started it, and the car said....clickclickclickclickclick! I remember we had that trouble last year....has to do with the car's AC/starter! So Len boosted the car, and all seemed fine, but I wasn't pushing it and decided to stay home instead! Right now I feel fine, but yesterday I was a little off and sugars were a tad high! Could be the heat...it was very hot today also! Slept in this morning ...'till 9!!! What bliss! Today is our youngest grandson's 2nd birthday! Tomorrow, our 33rd Anniversary....dinner out perhaps. Sunday the 1st of July, is Canada Day! Doing a picnic and whatnot...water park for the kids, followed by the usual city wide fireworks at dusk.! What about YOU?? Luv....linda
Hi Acquafortis- HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! Hope you have a GR8 day !! How have you been, haven't heard from you for a while. Hope the summer in Rome has been good to you .
Greetings, Ciao and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Acquafortis my friend....
Best Wishes on your Special Day....and on the next 364 days!
How's it all going? Do you have any questions or comments?
Sorry I haven't been on for so long.....sorry for the incredibly late reply. I didn't start the raw food group, but it is very interesting! It's something that I haven't been able to do, but I think it helps to have elements of it in your diet when you have Diabetes. For the people I have spoken to, those who have done it completely and not used insulin have after a period of time had to go on insulin regardless when their pancreas has completely stopped working. I don not know this from my own experience though so you would have to ask others. I find that if I eat well and lower carbs a certain amount I can use less insulin. So I like to not just eat to the insulin. I think it is good to try things yourself and work out what is best for you. I have relaxed a bit now, as I took it on a bit much in the first year or so I was diagnosed. The doctors said they were more worried about my becoming hypo unware then have complications from Dibetes. Balance as they say!
Hope you are well!
Cheers Kristy :)
Ihaven't been on for a long time. My husband is maltese. His father was born there. We went to Malta in 2008 and Rome before Malta. would lov to go back to Rome my husband didn't walk very well so we missed a lot.
Sorry for the long absence.....was typing away a week ago, when suddenly smoke started pouring out of my hard drive (had nothing to do with speed...
I'm a 2 finger typist lol)....so had to wait for my "baby" to come out of computer hospital!! Now back on...with a thousand some odd messages in my inbox!!
My wish to have sent everyone a cheerful Easter graphic went out the window...I will now attempt to play a slow game of catch-up! So bear with me!!
luv....linda
Greetings!! I'm STILL on my March break....presently have my 3 year old grandson Mason with me for a couple of days!! I'll be back at work next Monday though....it'll be brutal!!! What are YOU up to??
