Day Twenty-One ~ August 23rd, 2018
I almost completely forgot about the CAN registration this week! It ends tomorrow so I’m glad that I remembered and I got my son’s registration in for three different programs. He probably won’t get into all three, but I’m hoping he’ll get into the two programs he hasn’t been into yet *fingers crossed*

Energy-wise it was an extremely slow morning. I couldn’t get my ‘get-up-and-go’ going a hundred percent until much later in the afternoon. I nearly opted to do groceries a different day, but I knew that would just make me frazzled as far as time goes so I didn’t choose that route. I am so glad I didn’t because I saw a co-worker from my old job at the grocery store and I hadn’t seen him in a couple of years. Turns out he is about to leave the same place as well for partly the same reason I did, but it’s now a thousand times worse than when I left about 4 years ago. Considering how much it is stressing him out, I am so glad to hear he is cutting himself loose and I know he’ll find something better if he chooses to find other work.
He is easily one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met and I was so glad to run into him randomly this afternoon!
Day 23 ~ January 25th, 2017
It seems that this is a difficult daily habit for me to create, more so than I thought it would be! I think that the key will be starting this post first thing in the morning. Once dinner time hits my motivation to sit and do some thinking/typing drastically drops. I’ll try this, this week and see how well it helps me.

I drove to Vernon this morning as I needed to go to the Teach and Learn store in the city. It was my full first drive on the highway and it was much easier during the daylight hours. On the way out-of-town I was flabbergasted at how many people were excessively speeding. And by that I mean doing at least 120km/hour, and many were likely going faster than that, in a 90km zone! I just can’t quite comprehend why anyone would want to drive that fast period as high speeds definitely increase my anxiety while on the road.
Off that topic, I got what I needed at the teaching store. Some sight word flashcards, letter stamps, the next HWOTs printing book, the next math book in the series my son is working through, a prepositions game, and some fun fitness cards for us to do for body breaks. I am looking at yoga game and Roll & Play game for him as well (from ThinkFun.com), but I need to check with his teacher to see if that is covered by his schooling costs. Hopefully they are because they would be fantastic games to get for him and I actually would enjoy myself too!

Some other cool news is that I got a phone this afternoon about Respite for my son via the At Home Funding Program. Typically it’s over a year wait list for these funds and thankfully I’ve only had to wait about two months I believe. I go sign the paperwork next and I should hopefully get that started real soon!!

Things I am grateful for today:
~ having a good experience driving on the highway this morning
~ increasing some of my weights this morning. Getting stronger! Yes!
~ not completely losing my cool when I had some issues with my computer this morning
~ getting my desk cleaned up/off today
Cheers ~ ✌
Day 3 ~ December 3rd, 2016
Up until this evening I actually felt the best I have in the last few days and now my throat is hurting again…. and the cough is already revving back up. Why does it have to do this at the end of the day basically before/during bed?! Why not between lunch and dinner, or something like this, so it doesn’t particularly matter if I am hacking my lungs up…
Oh well! Fingers crossed that I get some alright sleep tonight and I am not awake at a stupid early time tomorrow morning like the last few days!
Not much else to remark on as my day was fairly relaxed. Other than getting some things done around the house it was just a “meh” kind of day.
I re-read through my biopsy instructions for Friday next week so I think I’m prepped up for that, moved some files around on the computer (still more to do), and moved the foam mats into the bathroom. They feel fantastic in there all nice and cushion-y 😛 and the floor isn’t cold now too!
And on that random note I am outta here for today.
Cheers ~ ✌
………..I am very glad that I decided right from the beginning of doing this item on my list to keep a hard copy of all of it or I would have already seriously failed!! It doesn’t help that I am still having issues with my desktop and doing posts from my laptop can get frustrating because of the keyboard….
