Snow

We had a real serious snowfall this morning.   The kind of snow that didn't melt the minute it hit the ground.   Thankfully I didn't have to go to work, I heard the commute to work was slow moving .   Typical first snow drive.   Glad I missed it.

Jillian and Chris made it back home safely from their get-a-way in BC.   They were gone only 2 days but it sounded like they had a good time.   

Jacob and I went to the SAIT and ACAD open houses on the weekend.    We were impressed with the professionalism of SAIT and disappointed with ACAD.     Jacob has his heart set on going to SAIT when he is done with high school.    I'm happy he's more or less found a bit of a direction to go in.    It's a start and it's important to know where to start.

Tomorrow I go back to see Dr. Singh and see what the Echo test came up with.   I'm pretty sure I know I don't want to be on medications, meaning betablockers.    They scare the hell out of me.    Hopefully, that isn't something he'll suggest.     I just want to know what's going on and what I can do about it.    I really want to get back to the gym ... just wanting some re-assurance that it will be okay to do so.    Kind of nervous, have to admit.

Weekend Off

I have a weekend off and today I'm too tired to enjoy it.    I worked until 10:45 last night and came home to find Stuart limping around with a sore leg or shoulder.      He had hurt it while I was a work when Chris startled him with the helicopter.   Poor little dog.

He was put in Jacob's bed after I gave him a little doggy pain-killer and after some whining he settled down and went to sleep.  

I stayed up longer than I should have partly because I was nervous wreck for Jillian's test she was writing this morning.    She needed to get 90% to pass and on her first writing she missed it by one question.   She was allowed to write it only twice so I was a mess.  

Then I decided to lay in bed and read for a bit.    I read a chapter in my book that grossed me out so badly that I had to stay awake and read more just to shake it.   So I was up way too late and I'm suffering from it today.

One good thing I did was go out for coffee with Penny this afternoon.  We met at SouthCentre and had a great time talking and shopping around the mall.

Jonathan came back from his trade show in Toronto this morning.   Lucky for him he missed all the bone crushing cold weather we had all week long.   I had a pretty yucky week here in Calgary.   I worked a lot.   And to top it all off this week I had two flat tires in one day.    Not one but two!!     Chris and Jacob came to work to help me out and get the car home.   Then they put winter tires onto my car once it was in the garage and out of the extreme wind chill.    Funny how Jonathan made sure he had winter tires on his car and didn't get them put onto mine.     I guess it wasn't one of his priorities.      Sounds like he had a good time at the trade show.    As much as he complains about it before he leaves he sure has a bunch to brag about once he gets back.   Do I sound jealous ?  I am.

But mostly I'm tired of listening to him say how much he doesn't enjoy it going before he leaves.   Just let me go, you wouldn't hear me complain.
