busy day, Clay Oven, dentist, poor me

wow, seemed like a crazy day and on my way home from work I was having a poor me moment…

started first thing with the dentist where my gag reflex raised it’s rather ugly head in a way it hasn’t for years… and she found something that needs to be filled…

after many years with two wonderful dentists specializing in nervous patients, I am still very stressed every time I go for a cleaning… thankfully I have good teeth so don’t usually need much work…

then, had to rush back to the office and search the car for something for Crystal which I couldn’t find, but luckily she did when she drove over and ransacked it, lol…

was going to stop for groceries on my way home, but was just too tired and feeling sorry for myself…

got home, had a nap, talked with my daughter in Ottawa and was really a big baby… even she, patient as she is with me, might have been getting a bit tired of the poor me conversation…

finally ordered dinner from Clay Oven, which was yummy and am now watching Olympics in my bed…

think I need some sleep and I’m sure that the poor me’s will be done tomorrow…

big girl pants, busy day, friends, great time, multiple emails, new car, Technology, The Captain's Table, wonderful women

had a busy day today…

got dropped off at work and dealt with a couple of technology issues that staff members were facing…

kids delivered my car to me just after noon with the right tires on (much prettier that the ugly winter rims, lol)… showed it off to a couple of people… that was fun…

our BS dinner reservation didn’t work out so emails flew through the airwaves as we tried to sort out an actual location, time and method of arriving at the chosen spot… many, many emails went back and forth, lol, but eventually a spot was chosen, time was decided on and rides were arranged for all…

prepared name tags (which went better than expected) for an event tomorrow morning and headed home in time to be picked up for the BS birthday dinner…

had just enough time to put things in the glove compartment and various other spots in the car so that it feels organized…

appetizer tonight at The Captain's Table...

busy day, Dropbox, French games

knew it was going to be busy and it was…

first thing I went out and had a very nice hot tub… there was a bit of a breeze but as I sat there the squirrel came by to find some snacks in the tree…

then did some laundry and learned how to use Dropbox on the computer…  huge snowflakes came down for a short period…

huge snowflakes falling this afternoon...

then off to get some pants hemmed, all the way to Transcona with Crystal… picked up the boys and went grocery shopping at Safeway… home to make tacos for supper… yay, the boys love tacos…

huge snowflakes falling...

after dinner there was some game playing on the iPad and iPhones, some of it in French which was great fun, particularly listening to Gray repeat the words…

English and French word games...

everyone headed home and I watched TV for a bit, tried to share a folder in Dropbox again, then finished my blog and am heading to bed…

it really was busy… but lots of fun…

 

very full day…

anxiety, busy day, cartoons, cleaned fish tank, coming anniversary, commemorate, George's death, lunch out, purse party, sleep over, snowboarding

wow, been quite a day…

the kids all slept over last night and the adults headed off for a couple of days of snowboarding around eight this morning…

cleaning the tank...

cleaning the tank…

the little boys spent the morning with me and we cleaned the fish tank – something they always did with Grandpa, fed the fish, read books, did a puzzle and watched cartoons…

after which we fed them...

they were picked up just after noon and I headed out for a birthday lunch with my BS buddies…  we had a lovely time after which I went to a purse party with one of the group…  we had to head out of the city for about half an hour and it was a good day for a drive…

we shopped and had lots of fun and returned home slightly poorer, but with some very nice items ordered…

once home, I headed to bed for a nap because the littlest boy was up a few times during the night and I had a very difficult time getting to sleep… and of course waking up at 6:30 didn’t help either, lol…

I had thought that the coming anniversary of George’s death wasn’t going to be that difficult to deal with, but my level of anxiety has been rising since yesterday… I am not looking forward to Tuesday, but also want to commemorate George’s passing…

last year's February sleep-over...

last year’s February sleep-over…

I hope that the next few days will be filled with calm and happy memories…
