Hubby left this afternoon to go back to Fort McMurray. The trip was uneventful for which I am most grateful ( Read more... )

Time flies when you are having fun or are really busy! I can hardly believe that a week has gone by since my last post ( Read more... )

Hubby is on his way home. He had to stay at work later than usual today so he won't be home until some time around 1:00 am. I'm not too sleepy yet but that could change. I'm not the night owl I used to be and even though it's 3 years post cancer treatment I find that I am fine one minute and then suddenly I'm very tired and need to go to sleep. The ( Read more... )

Hubby departed this morning to begin his new job in Fort McMurray. I was a bit concerned about road conditions as it has been snowing off and on for a few days. Thankfully he arrived safely. Hopefully he will have some details about his new job to share after day one of orientation ( Read more... )

Today Hubby and I have been married 31 years. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. We often joke that we must really love each other because we downsized from a queen size bed to a double a few years ago. We aren't like newlyweds to be sure but I believe that we love each other more today than we did when we got married. We were so young, so ( Read more... )

I have my regular stamping class Tuesday evening. For much of Saturday and Sunday I struggled with trying to come up with projects. Lurking in the back of my mind is the need for at least two more swap cards, one for the 19th of Jan and the other for a few days after that ( Read more... )

Thursday evening Hubby and I went out to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton. The music was wonderful as always, but it wasn't the best performance of the Phantom that I've seen. The actor who played the Phantom had a good voice but had some rather peculiar affectations with his hands that detracted from his ( Read more... )

Yesterday didn't start off very well. Hubby woke up around 0230 and got up to take some Motrin because his ankle was bothering him. He made it to the powder room, sat down on the toilet and then passed out. I woke when he banged into the powder room door. Thank God he didn't hit the door frame or the vanity counter. I jumped out of bed, scared half ( Read more... )

My brother went home today. He called this evening to let me know that he had arrived safely. Hubby is on a weekend exercise and I am alone for the first time in at least a couple of weeks. This is not a good thing. My imagination is working overtime. Every little pain starts me worrying. My armpit on the surgery side feels weird. I don't know if " ( Read more... )

So far hubby and I have managed to keep communication lines open. He doesn't always understand where I am coming from but at least we talk. Last night the stresses of cancer, treatments, my lack of energy and every day life shut down the lines of communication. We misunderstood each other and instead of talking and trying to understand we just sat ( Read more... )
