No snow today....going to gym today...

Sunday, December 05, 2010

So glad we are not iced in nor snowed in. Tomorrow I have eye doctor appt and hubby has appt to get first stage of a new crown....

I go back to work on Tuesday but on Wednesday night I will have another overnight sleep study so my CPAP machine can be adjusted as the oxygen saturations are still low even with the machine running. I have asked for Thursday off since the sleep center cannot tell me exactly what time I will get out in the morning. I will see if I can get another doctor appointment in the afternoon for either hands or feet(depending on availability of appts). My feet have been bothering me and also my hands. (I am still having carpal tunnel and trigger thumb symptoms in my right hand for which I had surgery almost a year ago.)..... the custom arch supports are not helping very much and I am wondering if I need orthopedic shoes, also or some other treatment. (Not really wanting surgery which was the last consideration in case the arch supports did not help..but I am "dragging my feet" on that choice.)

  

We got 8.8 inches of snow.... looking forward to lutefisk!!!!

¨¯`*✲SNOWBALL FIGHT!! KEEP IT GOING! : I got the snowball fight from a spark friend...pass it on...


Hubby is out side using the snowblower and swearing A=LOT!!! He is happy/sad to use the snowblower. He complained for at least an hour before he finally went out to do it. The plows have gone by our house so if we want to go somewhere we can....we plan to go to the gym this morning after hubby rests up and changes his clothes. We have a fairly decent temperature of 18 so at least it isn't blizzarding now. We are expected to get some light snow this evening.

I have to try to compliment him on what a great job he did when he comes in as apparently he is wishing we lived in a warm place with no snow today.....

I know if I didn't have him to run the snowblower or a shovel I would have to hire someone to do this for me. I have a 10-lb lifting restriction because of my hand surgeries and even carrying in the groceries would be very difficult. This morning I had to ask him to put one of my bargain turkeys in the freezer downstairs as it weighed 18 lb. I plan to cook that on Christmas. On Christmas eve we always have lutefisk....if you have to ask what is lutefisk...you probably don't live in Minnesota!!!

I grew up with lutefisk at Chritmas. I actually like it in spite of the smell. I will have to keep watch for a lutefisk dinner at one of the local churches if I want to have some. Report Inappropriate Comment

Friday...going to gym this a.m. to avoid new snowstorm....

Friday, December 03, 2010

We are supposed to get another dump (up to 6 inches) of snow starting this afternoon. I will take hubby and me to the gym so we can avoid slippery driving conditions.

I am sparking now but will soon be getting ready to leave the house.

Sounds like you are getting more than enough snow! We've had one snow so far this year and then it got warm again. I am glad that you could get to the gym before it hit again!! Have a great day! Report Inappropriate Comment

Slept a good 9-10 hours last night....

Still on leave from work due to death in family. I got to stay up and watch Letterman and sleep later today. I have been going to the gym every day this week and feel my knee stiffness is getting better.

I am having fun surfing on the web....and today hubby and I will go thrift store shopping. I have been finding ski clothes for my daughter and her boyfriend...I found 2 items this week for them already. The prices of these items new are out of sight. They really like it when I can find vintage (50s, 60s and 70s) items for them. She also like vintage aprons and I found a really cute one for about $2. I found a wearable art jacket from a famous designer in Finland that fits me perfectly. I looked on the internet and similar jackets sell for $750 and up and I scored this one for $10.

My hubby and I go to the gym...it gets him out of the house and he likes to talk to other men in the whirlpool and steam room. It is a social outlet for him. For me, it gets me into the pool to swim a minimum of 30 minutes and sometimes up to an hour. He would like to go every day and so that is good cause when I went on my own I usually went only 3-4 times a week.

Today I will call my niece to see how she is doing. She was going to arrange for cremation on Tuesday for my sister and I hope she is getting all the details taken care of. She had to move my sister's things into storage about 5 months ago and that will be something she needs to take care of, also.

Still blogging....crying some now....

At first when I got the news it was surreal.. My sister is dead? It is starting to sink in the reality and finality of it. I am sure she is in heaven and God is taking good care of her. She had a very hard life and she coped as well as she could with all the obstacles she had. She was only 8 or 9 when her father died. My mother was pregnant with me at that time and my mother did not cope well with the loss. I am sure my sisters (I had two older sisters) felt abandoned for much of that first year as my mother sent them to boarding school and she and I went to a Catholic convent for at least 6 months. My mother's sister was a nun and she convinced her mother superior to take my mother in to help her over her trauma. My mother was so distressed that the doctor did not allow her to go to my father's funeral for fear of losing her pregnancy (me!). My aunt, the nun, Sister Teresa Joseph called me "her baby" and I heard all the nuns were anamored with me. My aunt named me at the baptism, "Theodora Josephine Frances Xavier Cabrini" and my last name was a mouthful, too, Bednar'Chuk. My oldest sister got married when I was only 4 years old. My sister who just died was often the babysitter for my younger half sister and me and she probably resented that as she got into her teen years, but we were friends and became closer as we got older. We used to laugh a lot and reminisced about the good and not-so-good childhood we shared. I do miss her.

I so sorry to hear about your loss. Sisters have a special bond. They share all of our childhood memories...good and bad. I have two sisters and as we get older, I realize just how much that is so. U can't imagine life without them. I was fascinated to read about your beginnings in this world. You should write a book or at least some short stories about those days...it would be a good read.
