Stolen from Shari, Jenny and Chunks

1. If you had to set your own work schedule; 8 hours per day; 5 days per week what would you work?
Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. I'd work Wed to Sunday but that would cut into Garage Sales and Saturday morning with great friends!

2. What Reality Show would you be on and why?
I too would love to do the Amazing Race....perhaps we should all start a Canadian version and be in the first "Amazin' Race Eh!"

3. What is the last book you read?
Some fluff, no brainer romance thing while we were out fishing the Kitimat. Perhaps I should have been reading "Bear Sense" or "Train your hunny where not to BBQ"

4. There are many songs that bring us back to a certain memory. What song(s) do you HATE to hear for that very reason?
I have a very difficult time listening to Eric Claptons 'Tears in Heaven'. It was played at my nephews funeral.

5. If you could go back in time to be any place in world history, what time would you choose and what country/place?
I'd love to go back to witness the building of the Pyramids. I loved the whole Eve idea too, lmao.

6. Do you know more than one language? Which one(s)?
No, not fluently. I'm able to pick up bits and pieces of conversations in French and Spanish.

7. What is your favorite blog? If comfortable please post a link.
No can do, have more then one favourite and you'll find the links on my blog. Crikey, who wants to feel like the last kid picked for games with that question???

8. What is your favorite web site?
I love the Yenta site and all the Yentas....You guys rock!

9. Your house is on fire, the people and pets you love are safe and you can grab one other "thing", what are you taking?
Good thing it's me answering this cuz Hal would pick his boat! I'd have to say the Grandfather Clock, even if it's pushed, pulled and dragged. It's handmade by Hal's Granddad.

10. You have $100 to spend in the next hour. How are you spending it? (Saving it or giving it away not permitted.)
I don't need an hour to spend $100, trust me, lmao! Feeling the need for some pampering so would put it towards full body massage.

okay, so I really like my boss

and boy do I miss her, lol. She's on holidays for two weeks and has only been gone 4 days but do I miss our daily banter. Feel sorry for any poor soul who walks through the door, calls the office or even walks by the office for they may get pounced on by the psycho Admin. Asst. in Unit 276.

It's been nice being full time so far though as those little jobs that get pushed to the wayside actually manage to get finished and give a feeling of accomplishment and ORGANIZATION!!!

k, back to work (0kay, so i'm really going to do the post that Jenny, Shari and Chunks have already done)

hugs, heart and happiness

k, just a little stirred

Well the results came in and even i'm surprised at how great they were.
My Dr. is stumped as to the cause of this sudden increase in blood pressure. Kidneys, heart, lung functions are excellent, blood and electrolytes are normal.

He will continue to monitor pressure for a weekand if it doesn't drop then further tests will be required. He asked if there'd been anything that's caused major worry recently - NADA so i'm chalking it up to eating an overabundance of salty snacks, bbq'd food and much more then I should have during our camping trip. I'm to keep eating a limited diet, no alcohol and very light exercise.

BP was still up today 160/100 so still not good but it's dropped a bit, although I know right now there's some work related stress going on and some personal but working through it.

Thank you so much for the thots and prayers, it's appreciated.

Shaken and not stirred..

just a little scared!

The last week i've been having dizzy spells off and on, like vertigo. Knowing that I had an appointment with the Dr today just thought I'd ask him to check the ears today. We did the prescription refill, discussed the results of that womanly test (btw...excellent and no need to return for two years...YAY and sorry if tmi but this is an important exam to many women avoid).

Dr. asks how everything else is and thus mentioned the dizzy spells. He checked both ears and they were clear, listened to my chest and checked the glands in my neck...NADA everything was okay there. Well I went to stand up and bingo bango major dizzy spell so he had me sit down, whipped out the blood pressure cuff and cuffed me! Well it can be said his eyes gave it all away 170/100 when just two months ago it was 127/80. He wrote up a test sheet and asked that I head directly to the hospital for them. Guess i'll find out tomorrow what the scoop is. Until then he said "no salt, coffee, tea, cola, fatty food, red meat and processed food" I ate a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread, carrot sticks and a big glass of water for dinner.

Fingers crossed everyone that it's nothing serious and that I can get it under control without drugs.

We live so close to heaven!

I swear this has to be one of the most heavenly places on earth...granted I haven't travelled a lot, lol. However, I digress. Hal and I spent the day yesterday fishing the lower Kitimat and even though it was windy and a little cool the wildlife and scenery was spectacular.

We watched Eagles and their young offspring, Gulls, Osprey and various other birds soaring, diving, fishing and just playing all day long. We stopped in a little bay for some dinner and the bear tracks there were H U G E and fresh!!!!! Being frightened by the sheer number of tracks I gobbled down the two hotdogs and asked (okay so maybe I demanded) Hal to put the bbq back in the boat and lets get the hell outta there! Let's just say that Hal wears a mans size 10 shoe and I was wearing his sandals, the one set of prints was considerably larger then the size of the sandal. I should have taken pictures but just wanted to get out of there ASAP!

Other then that we had an enjoyable day laughing, sharing funny thots and cherishing our time with each other. I love that silly Sailor Man.
