Last one for 2013



Don’t worry I won’t get to soppy with the “Year in Review” but I do admit it was an interesting with the trip to Texas, the DH finishing his command as CS, getting Mel to the first of 2 stages of her training and a huge turnover at the day job.

The DH has some more free time in 2014 so I am hoping that we will be able to do more spontaneous stuff.  My new work schedule has me with Fridays off so I am hoping that I can use these to my advantage to do stuff with the DH like hitting Wonderland or even hitting the campsite a bit earlier.

On Christmas Eve I stopped in at the out-laws to drop off the presents and I guess there was some crossed wires from someone that reads my blog.  The SOL asked me if I was having heart issues since someone has told her I was having bypass surgery……That kind of made me giggle when I got to the car and thought that my heart is the only thing Dr. Sarah says I have on me that is textbook LOL  I corrected her and that started with a friend that is has been approved.

We have started packing for the move and I am finding that I am getting rid of some stuff. If I can’t remember who gave it to me and I haven’t used it, out it goes. We will definitely need a storage unit for a few month to make the house look “minimal” for people coming in.

So that is it for now, enjoy the last few hours of 2013 and have a healthy 2014

Bullet Points for a Post


·         I know it has been a while
·         I have been accepted for RNY surgery much to Dr Sarah’s surprise she didn't think I had enough check to qualify.  I have a 2-3 hours orientation meeting about it all in TO on Feb 12th. I can’t reschedule since they are like the golden ticket to see Willy Wonka.
·         Been keeping in touch with some of the gals that are no longer at work and I am glad that I am making the effort.
·         Feeling the love at work with the NavyWife and we are just going to ride it all out.
·         Nik & I were at the Santa Claus Parade with SJTD and we had a blast.  Mind you Nik was getting tired near the end was getting grumpy at the other dogs.  I don’t blame a 12 y/o puppy.
·         Went to the Hadfield Christmas Party on the weekend and didn’t really eat that much.  It was mentioned that I was eating like a bird which was good enough for me.  To me it was a validation that I was overeating/bingeing.
·         We had the work party and I had to leave early with NavyWife since my disassociation was really bad.  Nik wouldn’t settle and there were a few times she was in my lap.  After looking back I should have sat with my back to the window so that the blinking Christmas lights wouldn’t have been in my view all night.
·         Headed to the mall on the weekend too.  I am glad that I had the DH there to get me out because after an hour in the food court I couldn’t figure out how to get out of the mall.  I told him that next year we should just buy everything online.
·         The holidays are going to have mixed feelings.  I am going to enjoy going to Mom’s and the BIL’s in Ottawa, but since we need to start renovating the house I feel like I don’t have a proper place for the wrapped gifts since I decided that we weren’t putting up the tree.  I honestly haven’t even started decorating my desk for the contest that is this Thursday.  I guess the 3 nights at week at the other job are finally taking a toll.
·         In a few weeks we go to 4 – 10hr days in a week with a Friday off.  I know I will save on gas, but I am losing 2 of my 3 shifts.  I guess we will see how that all goes.
There will be more posts in the future and definitely before the New Year ;)
