Most Shocking!

by

I’m stuck at home today all alone. My husband went out of town to do some work at his parents house and since it’s an overnight visit I got to stay home with our dog.

So … I’m working on the computer and watching TV at the same time. Somehow I stumbled onto a show that I hadn’t seen before “Most Shocking”. I guess the station I’m watching is having a “Most Shocking” marathon or something because the show is playing one episode after another.

In general it’s not my type of show, but I’ll agree it is shocking and since I had nothing better to do today I’d guess I’d have to say I’m finding it fascinating. The show is about dramatic car accidents caught on tape, police chases and of course many many store robberies.

They even showed the liquor store robbery where a guy breaks into the liquor store though the ceiling and then gets trapped in the store. It’s a real dumb criminal story. LOL

I was amazed at the brutality of some of the robberies. Guys jumping counters and beating people over the head with crowbars only to get a small amount of cash, some snacks and in one case, I think, some weight loss drinks. It’s unbelievable.

I think I’ve seen enough brutal accidents and robberies for the day … I think I’ll channel surf and see what else is on – then I’m gone to order some food. Might as well treat myself while the hubbies away.





Looking for Guest bloggers

by

I don’t know why exactly but lately I’m having a lot of trouble keeping all my blogs up to date. Actually the amount of blogs I have is the problem. There’s just too many and not enough time in the day.

Coming up with new posts for 15+ blogs on a regular basis is a full time job. Hmmm I wonder if there’s some kind of project management software for multiple blog owners? LOL Yah, probably not.

S now I’m thinking about opening up my blogs to guest bloggers. People who can write about gardening, home appliances, home decor, home life, health etc. Topics that would fit well with this blog and a few of my other blogs.

Guest bloggers can add a short byline to the beginning or end of their post with a link to their main site and up to one link to one of their sites (if relevant to the topic of the article) within the post.

If you’re interested in guest blogging please feel free to leave a comment on this post or use the contact form to get in touch with me. I’d prefer people that currently have blogs that they write in regularly so that I can see samples of their writing style. Thanks!

What a snore!

by

My husband has one of the worst snores that I’ve ever heard. I think only my dad could beat it.

Lucky for me I haven’t had to endure his snore very often over the last few years because my husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea and now he wears a bipap mask. He says he sleeps better now and so do I without that awful snoring.

Unfortunately, over the last few months I’ve noticed that my husband is snoring a little more often again. I don’t think his mask is fitting as well as it used to so it makes this weird hissing Darth Vader kind of sound. He’s also been doing this weird thing with his lips – it sounds like he’s puckering up and blowing bubbles. So even though he’s sleeping ok, my sleep has gone downhill because I can’t stand the snores and other weird mask sounds.

I suggested that my husband contact the company that set him up with his bipap machine for another mask fitting. Maybe it’s changed shape? I’m sure that will help.

I’ve also been wondering if the renewed snoring might be allergy related. Both my husband and I are allergic to dust mites and my husband complains of a stuffy nose quite often lately. Maybe I should look into getting some allergy bedding? It might help.

Do you have a husband (or wife) who snores really bad? How do you survive?

Now I remember why I hate going to the family doctor

by

I had a physical at my doctors office a couple of weeks ago. My first in a few years! My main doctor is off on medical leave – I’m not sure what’s wrong with her, so I saw her replacement for the first time when I went in for my physical. Not the ideal time to meet a new doctor in my opinion. LOL

Everything seemed to go well with my physical and I liked the new replacement doctor. My husband also saw her as well and liked her too.

Then, last week I got a call. I guess my Cholesterol is off. So I have to go back to see the doctor soon and find out if I need to start treatment for high cholesterol or perhaps low cholesterol. Mine is probably a little high – it has been occasionally in the past, but I mentioned low cholesterol because that’s my husbands problem. His low or good Cholesterol levels are too low and that can be as bad as having high cholesterol too.

I’m being a bad patient though. Before I left the doctors office she armed with with a few requisitions for tests I need to get done before I see her again ie mammogram, pelvic ultrasound (I have endo) and a thyroid ultrasound and I haven’t even booked those appointments yet! ARgh … I’d better get to work on those.

When you go to see your family doctor do you end up with a bunch of follow up tests that you have to do too? I hate it, but I have a tumor in my thyroid and I’m supposed to have an ultrasound and biopsy every 6 months and like I said, I hadn’t had a real physical with my regular doctor for a few years (probably because she saw me so often she didn’t think I need it, duh) so the other tests are important add ons.

My Crohn’s is finally getting a little better

by

I’m feeling awful today. My back is acting up again and so is my stomach or rather my Crohns. It seems when one thing goes wrong for me just about everything else does too.

I do have to admit that my Crohn’s has been a little better lately. I still have some very bad days, but compared to the last few years of mostly all bad days this is better. Maybe it’s finally slowing down.

I’ve been trying a few things like taking a spoonful of drinkable Aloe Vera Gel each day. It tastes awful … kind of like what I think drinking Purell might taste like. Ugh. I’ve also been taking two acidophilus probiotic tablets a day to increase the good bacteria in my intestines. I’ve had several other people with Crohn’s tell me that these two things have helped them quite a bit. So it’s worth a try. I’m also giving irvingia a go as well.

I’ve been sick and stuck at home on medical leave from my work as a nurse in one of Canada’s busiest emergency rooms for 5 years now. It’s about time I started to feel better. I’d like to get back to work if I can, but more importantly I’d just like to feel a lot better.
