Over the past few months I have had a wealth of things happen and in the end all things turned out to be good things.
The first thing was moving out of a good friends place and moving into the wonderful community of Sidney, BC (actually North Saanich but a very short jaunt down the road and I am in Sidney). The move was like any move people make in their lives…stressful. And this will be the last move for quite awhile. Six in the last 2 years is way too many moving dates.
The next thing was fighting an ailment that I had no idea what it was. I started out waking up sore. It progressed to it being very difficult to walk and not being able to concentrate. I had no balance. I went through multiple doctor appointments and tests to find out what it was. It wasn’t until I let my doc know that my eyeballs were sore and giving me a headache that he wanted me tested for glaucoma. My first thoughts were…”Oh my God…not again”. I had been tested for glaucoma about 7-8 years ago and tests came back negative then. I was instructed by doc to get my eyes tested for glaucoma immediately which I did. I did the testing and all signs for glaucoma were quashed. I have optic nerve placing in such a way on my eyes that I could never et glaucoma. But I did find out that I needed glasses for reading but also to correct for stigmatism. Glasses ordered and all is well. When your eyes start to go on you, your body really does feel it. Take care of yourself peeps!!!
The next thing was two weeks of hives (welts usually caused by allergies or extreme stresses on your body). I had tried Benadryl, ice cold rubs, calamine lotion and Aveeno (for the oatmeal base for itching). Finally between Ed and a friend, I went to the docs to find out what I could do. What the doc prescribed was 3 days of Prednisone in a high dose to help whatever allergy I had. It worked and feeling non-itchy again (laughter).
My car is my baby (except for my Desmo – black Sylvestor looking cat). The first thing at hand was a brake job. Brake job done and brakes work good again. The next thing was a new battery. Got an Eliminator from Canadian Tire. Good warranty. The final thing that happened that was really unexpected was one of the drive pulleys for the alternator snapped right off while I was driving to work the other day. Had the car towed to Reg Midgley Motors – Service Department on the Colwwod Crawl (in Colwood by A&W and Subaru lol). They did an awesome job and I had my car back the next morning and the pricing was reasonable for the tow and the work done. They have my business always.
So all in all, health good again (still working on the weight thing – sometimes up but going down), new place Ed and I call the home on the bay, his place is the home on the lake, and the car is still my baby. Life is good and I feel great!!!!
Cheers & <3
