Heard Back

So, I already heard back from my doctor regarding my CT results. I’m pretty impressed by how quickly that happened. She was like “wow, your bronchiectasis is pretty bad in both your lungs but ...

CT at Christmastime

So today I had my CT scan done, and the injected the dye, assuring me that my whole body would feel warm, and it would feel like I peed myself but I most certainly won’t actually pee myself. It d...

Days off are the best!

I had my last day off of the year yesterday. Gotta use them up, ya know! So what did I do? It was so wonderful. ~ I woke up around the time Ben left for work, about 7:30 which is a whole hour a...

Appointment Made!

I’m very excited because on December 15th I’ll have my CT. Sure, it’s at 7:15 in the morning… but who cares! I just can’t wait to find out what is wrong with my lungs. In the meantime, I’m tryi...

Terrible Dream

I had a terrible dream last night. I dreamt I was marrying someone who was not Ben… and I didn’t want to, but I was still doing it. And at my wedding, I was sitting there in my beautiful weddin...

More on boring health stuff

So, I heard back from my doctor about the x-ray. She said it still looks like pneumonia, so she’d like me to go for a CT Thorax (or something?) to get a better look at it. This is the kind wher...

Health Update

So I went to the doctor and told her the antibiotics did nothing. “huh” was her response “maybe it’s not pneumonia”. She doesn’t know what’s up. She said that perhaps my bronchiectasis was prog...

Doctor Day

I am SO SO excited to go to the doctor today! I really hope the next thing they try to get me better works. I’m SO tired of being exhausted by the time I get to work, and not being able to hold...

Vandalism

So, this weekend Ben and I were heading out of town for a marriage retreat. The retreat part was really good, and we made new friends, and got to connect with each other and I just love Ben more...

Eating poorly

Well, last night I went to a lovely banquet. I had received a dress as a gift, and thought it’d be a great time to wear it. It’s light pink satin with lace overlay, and I think it’s beautiful a...

Sewing

I made a shirt yesterday. Had the day off, and thought I’d start on a pattern that I’ve had in my stash for about a year. I love the zebra print, but it will take me wearing the shirt a few tim...

Pneumonia Part 2

Well, I’m done my 10 days of antibiotics, and I’m the same, perhaps getting worse… I’ll know more tomorrow as they say the antibiotics stay in your system for a couple days after you stop taking ...

Pneumonia

Today I am thankful I have pneumonia. I KNOW I KNOW, that sounds very weird. But see, I have a lung condition. Over the past while (over a month) I’ve been short of breath, especially when doin...

Israel

I’m sad that our Prime Minister has decided to stop our support of Israel. Canada’s going to need extra prayer support. Wonder if I should start reorganizing my investments before Trudeau star...

New Recipe

It is always exciting when a new recipe turns out so well. I had found a recipe for Almond Orange cake, and I was very excited to give it a try. I plan to use it in a gift I’m giving on Saturday...

MOTIVATED

Well, good news everyone! (has anyone seen futurama?) I found some motivation somewhere. Look at all the things I did yesterday: 1. Woke up early and washed my hair. 2. Baked breakfast cookies ...

Fighting Laziness

Last night I heard a devotional on business, and what is good business and bad business, and we really need to evaluate our busy lives… Honestly I was convicted. Not because I’m busy, but becaus...

Prayer

My friend inadvertently encouraged me to start a prayer journal. I’ve had one in the past, though I most often wrote when I was feeling upset or unsettled. Now I’m trying to write at least a pa...

Always Learning

Yesterday I made two mistakes. Mistake #1: I woke up with a really sore neck, couldn’t turn my head and every time I stood from my chair at work I had pain… it cause a headache which caused me to...

Party Lite

Had a party lite party last night. It was pretty good. I got a bigger turn out than I expected. 6 guests, 2 consultants, and me! And it seemed like everyone liked the food. I did fruit salad...

Life

Spent the weekend with family at a festival in their town. We go out for it every year. Ben was excited because the Mud Bog wasn’t cancelled, and I just ate so much food. Weighed myself for the...


Well, if you know me at all you know that the less time I spend in the kitchen the happier I am… unless I’m baking… I like baking because it usually turns out pretty good and I like eating baking...

Productivity

A flip switched yesterday and I wanted to do more than just sit around eating. Don’t get me wrong, I still did plenty of that, BUT I also did laundry AND cut out all the pieces of fabric to star...

Summer Camping

We went camping this past weekend with Ben’s sister and her bf, and it was far more enjoyable than I expected. I’m not much for camping. I don’t like being dirty, or cold, and it honestly seeme...


So, on the weekend I did manage to cut the pattern pieces out of the fabric I’m using to make that dress for my aunt. I’m not terribly excited about the dress, but I do have a goal to have it do...


Book Description

Opendiary is shutting down, and many friends are moving here. I hate to start this, not knowing if I will continue, but here it goes.
