struggled with a headache through the night and this morning… really difficult to get up and moving…

eventually I dragged myself out to get some groceries…

last time I was there the cashier did a very poor job of packing my groceries…

today as the cashier was ringing up my purchases he was being careful with putting things into the bags and I mentioned the poor job by the last cashier…

he shared that he had been working on his packing skills…

he asked if I’d put in a complaint and I said it wasn’t worth the effort as nothing was ruined… he also mentioned that if anything was, the company would replace it…

at the end of my order he reduced my bill by $10 using a gift card…

what great customer service;-)…

camping, day eight…

sadly I woke up with a headache which stayed through the whole day… up around eight and relaxed around the campsite… the sun looked cool through the trees and I got a few neat shots of lichen on a branch… saw quite a few geese today when we were down by the water…

then we were off fishing… the boys had great success… my son-in-law caught a 39 inch Jack, just shy of a Master…

after lunch all the boys went to the beach while I tried to sleep off my headache… didn’t work, but I had a nap…

got ready for supper and my daughter arrived from the city… hot dogs and smokies on the fire, clean up and off for an evening ride on the boat…

fun to see how different the cottages look all lit up…

watered the garden this morning before leaving the house…

the plants are all quite happy and there are many flowers…

woke up with a headache which progressed throughout the morning and by lunchtime it was raging…

so bad, in fact, that I took pills and lay on the floor in our meeting room with lights out and blinds closed…

thankfully, eventually the headache dulled and I made it through the rest of the day…

quiet dinner and early to bed tonight…

sweet…

last night I made soup for today’s Souper Thursday… stopped on our way home and picked up sweet potatoes, carrots and coconut milk… this sweet potato and carrot soup is really easy…

  
it turned out very well… veggies, salad, crackers and fruit appeared and we had a great lunch… and everyone enjoyed it… every last drop was eaten…

a while ago I ordered a number of chocolate bunnies for a fundraiser, so this morning the Easter Bunny dropped them off at each person’s desk…

  
made some cute little notes to go with them…

such fun…

  
spent a few minutes admiring my beautiful new orchid this morning… the older one still has four or five blossoms on it…

although I’ve been struggling with a headache it was a pretty sweet day…

first thing this morning I took this picture of the spiral tree outside the door…

  
it had snowed a bit overnight and just dusted it a bit…

here is a picture I just took of the same tree…

  
been snowing for most of the day, as you can see from the amount of snow on it…

my grandson came over and shovelled tonight… he came to the office and rode home with us through the very slow traffic… once he was finished his mom picked him up to take him home…

after supper I went on a cooking spree… made hummus and cut veggies for our potluck tomorrow… mixed goldeye cream cheese and almost have the zucchini basil soup done…

  
veggies ready…

now to bed… been struggling with a headache for most of the day…

managed to get a few chores done around the house but that is about all…

bit of a headache hanging over me today… tried sleeping, but that hasn’t done anything to alleviate it…

happy I did the running around yesterday although the headache was there too…

looks lovely outside, although overcast… for a good portion on the morning it was snowing so there is a new dusting of snow over everything… always looks so clean afterwards… too bad the sun hasn’t come out… 

  
the critters have been out and about since the first of the snow… there are little footprints everywhere… not sure if it the bunny, squirrels or cats…

bit of sun might make my head feel a bit better…

think I will make some chicken soup…

great fun at the zoo today… the little boys and I got to check out the barn and go on a lovely wagon ride at the new McFeetors Heavy Horse Centre...

  
the guide explained all about this powerful horse breed as we circled the new area…
  
our ride was excellent… we went and picked up some rain ponchos as it was misting on us a bit…  properly attired, we checked out a few other spots…

   
looking for butterflies… most of them were released last week…

 
but finding lots of caterpillars… Mr. Eagle Eyes even spotted a chrysalis…

  
unfortunately the littlest guy had a headache for a good portion of the day… when we got home, having walked from the Park, he napped for a bit…

  
this is a picture of the canna…

  
cannot see the hummingbird that came to it twice while we were in the garden… it was faster than I was…

here’s a picture of two of us taken by the littlest person…

  
was a bit cool by then, but happily rain didn’t start falling again until just after dark…

had its low points, but wonderful time spent together…

peace…

yesterday I received a lovely Mother’s Day card in the mail…

  
lovely peaceFULL card… my daughter has used a peace sign as part of her signature since she was a teenager so this card holds lots of meaning for me…

had a miserable headache for a good part of the day yesterday, but it was gone when I woke up this morning…

made sure to water all the plants that we brought home from the greenhouses… they are looking good as they await their transfer into the garden… can hardly wait for the weather to warm up so that they can get out there… the garden is my refuge and I am eager to spend time in it…

 

stopped in for a haircut and then a few groceries on my way home from work tonight… this morning I had to search for something for breakfast as I had run out of early morning foods, lol… picked up a few kinds of cereal, yogurt and fresh veggies… for many years I didn’t eat breakfast and now I try to make sure that there are easy things to eat so that I can stay on track…

I think that knowing I am sticking to my diabetes plan makes me feel good about life in general…

did well with eating today…

had yogurt and fruit for breakfast, and a large salad with eggs and chickpeas for lunch…

this afternoon we had cupcakes…

  

I had some almonds with mine as I have to eat some protein with every snack… it was very tasty but unfortunately my body felt a bit overloaded with sugar…

for the next few hours my head ached… just not used to so much sugar any more…

amazing how a person’s body can change in just a few short months…

been a bit of a bug going around… upset stomachs and headaches…

Thursday and Friday I was dealing with the stomach business… Friday I was feeling a bit better…
Saturday the headache started… went into the hot tub early because I was frozen…
ran out to pick up items for Sunday’s  birthday supper for my youngest…
slept for quite a while under lots of covers, and got up thinking I needed to eat, although I wasn’t at all hungry, but felt the need to eat to stay on top of the diabetes…
gathered a simple supper of cheese and veggies and some flavoured water…
next thing, I came to on my back on the floor… my glasses weren’t on my face and there was water and veggies all around me…
was able to get to the living room and called my daughter… she came right over and they found my glasses which were not broken, thank goodness…
they cleaned up the mess in the kitchen and brought up some supper for me…
it was a long night with very little sleep… and, it appears that I landed on my hip because it is sore… 
still had the headache and now my neck was sore, likely from the fall…
no appetite but have been forcing myself to eat…
my son-in-law came by in the afternoon on Sunday and picked up all the ingredients for the supper so they could make it at their place…
thought of my beloved and how he was always there to look after me when I was sick, bringing me whatever I felt like eating or drinking… 
made me think of all my friends who live on their own and have to navigate sickness alone… I really have been blessed…
hoping that I will feel better soon… 
 

oh ya, this is what I woke up to this morning…
