Work......

Going into my second week of work. I love my job and the people on my team at work are great, amazing. This past week I got to talk to people at some of the MFRC's across Canada including St. Johns. It made me homesick hearing their voices there. But what wonderful people at all of the MFRC's that I have come into contact with!! I wish I did not have to manage home and work but don't we all?
Jacob's best friend is visiting us this week - what a time they are having! They have done Canada Day on Parliament Hill, they have gone to the Canadian Mint for a tour, shopped for rocks and heavy metals, saw Transformers2 and they spent 2 hours in the pool in Russell today. Fun is their motto!
I had a physical doen on Friday, yearly thing. I have carpel tunnel in both wrists. Sad but true. I need 2 splints, oh joy oh bliss oh love divine! I had an internal done, always fun. She checked my whole body, even my feet for skin cancer - no signs! Yah. I need more flexibility so I have to work in some yoga or pilates. My diet and exercise was great other than the need for more weight lifting and the flexible stuff. She figures I need to mix up my workouts so that I confuse my body and drop my extra weight. I will try. It seems I have been on that treadmill an awful lot with no real weight loss results. I know my heart is in better shape but I would like to see those pounds go. Anyone suggest a good DVD for yoga or pilates? Also she told me to try the GI Diet which I have heard of but never tried. It's supposed to be good for the ticker too so I will try it.
So I am supposed to lift weights with carpel tunnel and make myself into a pretzel but other than that I am fine! HA
My doc also asked all about Jason. She wanted to know how things were at home. I told her about him not being the same, similar but not the same and she asked me if it was just as easy to love this Jason and I did not even have to think - of course it is!! He is still funny, witty, sarcastic - all the things I loved. Just not as talkative, more introverted than before. He wishes it would end and he would be the same way he was before but it has only been a year and he has made such a successful recovery so far. I know he is still recovering and will continue to do so. We have to be patient, he has to be patient. It is hard sometimes but we both know how lucky we are.

  1. Lots happening in your great life. I am so glad that you LOVE your new job. It sounds like the extended holiday to NFLD will be all that and a bag a chips! I am so glad you are going to the doc and talking about all the stuff. We often forget to take care of ourselves when we are so busy taking care of everyone else...me well I am getting my toes painted!!!
    I am so pleased to see Lisa's life, although just for rent, on track and that you are enjoying your days and your great hubby too.
    Happy trails.
