Bird of prey in my backyard

by

I live in a large city, not too far from down town, but I still get a lot of wildlife in my yard. Perhaps it’s because I have a mature garden in my backyard.

Over the years since I first landscaped my backyard and planted all of my plants I’ve gradually seen more and more birds come into my garden year after year. Everything from Cardinals to Blue Jays frequent my garden regularly, and Hummingbirds visit throughout the summer.

Earlier today I saw something that I don’t normally see in my backyard. I saw a hawk of some kind. It might even have been a Peregrine Falcon. I ran inside the house to get my Nikon binoculars so I could get a better look but by the time I got back to the backyard the bird was gone.

Whatever the bird of prey was, it was pretty big! It was sitting on top of the electric pole in the corner of my backyard – perhaps looking for mice?

Do you ever see wildlife or unusual birds in your backyard?





Exhausted – I just can’t sleep

by

I’m so exhausted. I feel like I haven’t slept in days or even weeks.

Actually … that’s partially true. Ever since the end of August I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping or rather staying asleep because of a medication I started taking around that time. I think I was just starting to sleep a little better near the end of September but then at the beginning of October I started yet another new medication (Zyban to stop smoking) and that is now causing trouble sleeping. So I have two medications affecting my sleep.

If I keep going like this I’m really going to have to do a search for best under eye cream for dark circles because I’m starting to look as tired as I feel.

I usually don’t have much trouble falling asleep or staying asleep and I’ve never had a medication affect my sleep so badly. It’s terrible. If I keep having this much trouble sleeping I’m going to have to call my doctor and see if she can help me out.

Do you ever have a lot of trouble sleeping?

I think I lost a couple more pounds

by

I haven’t weighed myself this week, but I think I’ve continue to lose weight.

As of last week I’ve lost at least 18 pounds since early September. If this keeps up I’m going to have people I know coming up to me and asking me what the best fat burner is as they notice my weight loss. LOL

I’d better not lose much more weight. I already need to buy new clothes! New pants, new bras etc … everything I have is loose on me. Even my glasses are loose!

Snow – no winter can’t be coming yet

by

Wow, I’m just watching the news that I taped earlier and I can’t believe it snowed last night in Barrie Ontario! I know it got quite cold here in Toronto, but to hear that it snowed in an area that’s only about two hours away … that’s not good.

Usually we don’t get snow here in Toronto until at least November and often it’s near the end of November at that. I hope that’s still going to be true this year.

I’ve already been freezing for a month. I don’t know why, but this year I’ve felt colder than I usually do at this time of year. I’ve been wearing sweaters and curling up in blankets when I’ve been in the house watching TV or working on the computer.

I’ve lost about 18 pounds in the last month and a half … maybe that’s another reason why I’m feeling so cold lately? I’m getting thinner and it’s a big change for my body to lose that much weight so fast. No I haven’t been using any thing like apidexin to lose weight. I’ve lost it because of my migraine medication and how it’s made a lot of different foods and drinks taste so different. Which of course means I’m not eating as much nor drinking pop or sweet drinks. LOL

I’m still losing weight – maybe too fast?

by

Well it looks like I’m still losing weight. It’s slowed down a bit, but since the last time I was weight I lost 3 pounds.

I know … like I said, I didn’t lose a lot, but I don’t need to lose too much. Besides – I’m only losing weight because a medication that I’m taking for my migraines makes most of the foods I try to eat taste different, weird or awful so I guess I’m eating less.

I’ve lost about 18 pounds in total since early September. If this keeps up people are going to wonder if I’m taking something like Phentermine 37.5 or some other type of diet pill … but really I’m just eating less and not drinking any pop at all (because it tastes salty!). Crazy huh?

Have you ever taken a medication for a particular illness and ended up having a good side effect like weight loss?
