back to being off every Friday… happy to be on this schedule…

this morning I had a checkup and besides the usual tests the doctor included an EKG…

apparently by the time you are 67 (for another few weeks) they want to get a baseline for the future… I am wondering what their expectations are, going forward, lol…

once I was done there, I called to see if I could get in for a pedicure… only waited about half and hour, and besides the pedicure, I got a sports manicure…

lovely fingers and toes…

topped the day off with Clay Oven Goat Thali via SkipTheDishes;-)… I divide it up and have enough for another meal…

happy Friday…

purple-y…

purple-y kind of day…

a few days ago I had a nice pedicure with my daughter and most of the cost was covered by a points program so that was a treat…

later on we stopped at Polo Park and I was able to get my cute Purdys mug replaced…

the one I had before said “I believe in chocolate for breakfast” (which is something my eldest daughter says often) but this new one has less gold on it and the purple paint feels a bit thicker, so maybe it won’t flake off like the first one did… the salesperson said she had this particular mug and hadn’t had any problems with it…

pretty purple-y day…

mauve…

yesterday I went and had my hair purpled…

spent the entire appointment chatting with my stylist ‘s two year old… such fun to visit with little people…

hair came out nice too…

today I went for a pedicure… last night my daughter suggested I step out of the box and go with something other than purple, lol…

so I chose mauve;-)… also had the paraffin treatment…

all prettied up;-)…

sheets…

what a wonderful evening…

supper out with some very special women…

tried shrimp stuffed eggplant at Blaze Bistro… tasty…

then it was off for pedicures… such fun…

as we left the spa the sky was dark gray… getting into the car it was starting to spit…

by the time I arrived home I’d driven through sheets of rain, loads of lightening and waterlogged streets… that part wasn’t so fun, lol…

as I write this the thunder is rolling around the sky… it looks amazing out there… and is currently sounding like fireworks… yikes…

but my toes are stunning;-)…

right…

my goodness, crazy busy day…

woke up really early and watched a few tv shows…

had difficulty walking as my right knee has gone from a bit of discomfort to serious pain…

got ready and went for blood work for my next doctor’s appointment… I always try not to stress but it is difficult as I wonder if I’ve consumed the wrong foods which could have raised my A1C… the technician did a great job as I barely have a mark on my arm… yay…

was able to get in for a pedicure at the last minute and it went well… a few times I had to hold my leg as the aesthetician worked on it… she had lovely purple hair and is the most gentle person on staff…

then it was off to the physiotherapist office to see what they might be able to do to help my very sore knee… it had been uncomfortable for a while but in the last two days I have barely been able to walk…

he advised that is was inflamed but felt it was likely osteoarthritis… did lots of measuring, pushing and pulling and then used ultrasound and electricity on it… I have things to do three times a day and go back in a week… he mentioned that it was likely going to hurt a bit more after all his prodding… and he was right…

icing it as I write this… good news is that it should be much better by the time I head to Ottawa;-)…

away…

woke up to snow falling… a fair bit came down through the night and it looked beautiful…

as I drove away I realized how big the drifts were…

after lunch I met a young friend at Total Wrapture and we had pedicures… then I decided to have a French manicure and in the end agreed to a shellac one… first time for that, so I will see how long it lasts…

home for a rest and quick supper and then off to see Come From Away with my buddy…

that’s her in the row in front of me and 3 seats over… I am calmly sitting here in the balcony ready for the show to begin, but it will be odd not to be able to chat with her throughout the play;-(… not too fond of heights so we got here in plenty of time to get into our seats while the lights were still on, lol…

wonderful show;-)…

this morning my daughter and I went for pedicures… included the paraffin which is always so rejuvenating…

the massage always makes my legs and feet feel wonderful… after we were done, she dropped me off at home and took the car as they needed an extra one for an event tomorrow…

came into the house, changed my clothes and was picked up by a friend to go to the theatre… had to be careful I didn’t smudge my toes as I was changing …

I am always interested in the way the set is used… today we had a drink beforehand and some delicious homemade cookies that my friend brought… yum…

later as I was eating my dinner I listened to the thunder rolling… ran around and took a few pictures of the sky…

this one was out the back… pretty dark out there…

towards the front the sun was shining…

not sure what took place elsewhere in the city, but nothing actually happened here…

travels…

seemed to do a fair bit of waiting in my travels today…

started at the doctor’s office as I waited for my quarterly appointment to stay on top of the diabetes…

didn’t have to wait long and the report was good… my A1C has stayed the same and blood pressure was excellent…

then I dropped in at the Chamois because Shadow was so dirty you couldn’t tell what colour she was…

picked up a small bottle of de-icer just in case the doors wouldn’t open, although with the remote to open the locks, maybe that isn’t a problem… just remembered that George always carried some after he had the car washed, lol…

then I stopped at a store I wanted to go to… it wasn’t open so I went into the Subway next door to have a cup of tea and wait…

had big girl pants on as I sat there all by myself, calmly drinking tea…

this is a very big deal as just five years ago I would have sat and waited in the car… not a chance I would have gone into a restaurant on my own…

in the afternoon I went for a pedicure with a dear friend… we sat and waited for our aestheticians to collect us…

happy that the sandals are hard to spot, lol…

after our fun visit and relaxing foot work – we both had the paraffin treatment on our feet, and I even had my hands done – 

we waited for our nails to dry…

and then I walked to the car with these lovely flip flops on…

final bit of waiting was for the chicken and dumplings to cook for my dinner…

now to rest;-)…

on Saturday I decided it was time for a pedicure… hadn’t had one since the September long weekend while I was visiting my daughter in Ottawa…

called and was able to get in… went on my own…

got a picture beforehand…

those pink slippers were kind of bright… decided on the pedicure with hot stone massage and paraffin…

was the very best paraffin portion I have ever had… Victoria did a great job of getting the wax all the way around my feet…

chose purple glittery polish…

came out very nice, although for the second time in a row it has taken a crazy amount of time to dry completely…

because my toes took so long to dry I decided not to have a hot tub that night…

next day when I went out for a hot tub had to wear water shoes and a toque as it is cooling off out there…

trip…

started the day off reading the lovely Secret Adventures of Tiny Toba… it is about finding and sharing gratitude as the authors took a motorcycle trip to the East Coast… I think my boys are going to love it…

  
then I spent some time gathering items and packing for our trip to New York, leaving a week today…

 

treated myself to a pedicure with paraffin and hot rock massage… want those feet to be pretty and ready for all the walking we have planned…

  
hard to tell, but those are purple nails, not pink…

easy to call, book the appointment and go… didn’t even consider calling around to see if I could find someone to go with me…

big girl pants are fitting pretty good today, lol…
