Darn Crohn’s Disease

by

I’m still trying to decide if I’ll go to Brantford tomorrow with my husband. After having all those house guests and becoming so ill on Sunday night and into Monday I think I’ll just have to wait and see how I feel once I get up in the morning.

I hate being sick. When you are chronically ill you can’t make plans. You never know if you’ll be feeling well next week let alone the next day. I have the occasional good day but they seem to be further and further apart. It can be very depressing.

So I’m sort of trying to decide whether I’ll go with my husband to his parents. It will be our last chance to spend some time with his brother before he goes back to Chicago on Wednesday so that’s a reason to go. How I’m feeling is a big reason to stay home and rest and hope I feel better later in the week.

I hate being sick. I really hate it.





House full of people

by

I’m exhausted and in pain. We had a houseful of guests here from Saturday through to early this morning. By houseful I mean there were nine people staying in the house!

That’s stressful at any time, but I’ve been feeling terrible for a couple of weeks due to my Crohn’s and it was UNBEARABLE having all these people here.

I’d put something down and my brother in law would move it into another room. A while later I’d be looking for whatever he’d moved and find it in the weirdest place. My husbands father does this kind of stuff when he visits too and it just drives me nuts. I mean they move stuff that never moves! There’s no need to move it, that’s where it belongs! Grrrr

Our nineteen year old niece is really hard to get along with too. I mean, my husband and I were just saying that’s she’s really disagreeable … we agreed on that. So it was really hard having a hostile entity in the house! The friend she brought with her was much nicer than she is. My husband just said gee I wonder how they became friends and why such a nice girl is hanging around our niece. LOL

I’m gonna lie down soon …

Win movie passes for The Eye of the Dolphin

by

There’s a new movie opening in theaters on August 24th. It’s called Eye of the Dolphin and it’s said to be a perfect family movie that would be enjoyed by teenage girls, or might even be a perfect father daughter movie night outing.

If you’d like a chance to win free movie passes just fill out the form and you might be able to get tickets to an exclusive sneak pre-view of Eye of the Dolphin. You can watch a short movie trailer while visiting the free movie pass site too.

The movie, written by Wendell Morris a three time Emmy winner, was filmed in the Bahamas and features spectacular scenes above and below water, smart dolphins, and a great cast of characters – Carly Schroeder, Adrian Dunbar, Katharine Ross, George Harris, Jane Lynch and Christine Adams.

The story is about a 15 year old girl who’s been expelled from her Los Angeles high school. She’s sent to live with her dolphin researcher father in the Bahamas. The father is a little crusty and has no time for his rebellious daughter. His daughter eventually discovers the dolphins and and unexpected connection forms between the daughter and an orphaned wild dolphin. The girl soon finds that she and the dolphin have the power between them to bring hope to the impoverished residents in her new home.

This sounds like a nice movie for teens or teens and their parents to see.

My husband thinks I’m too sick for house guests

by

My brother called his brother this morning to tell him to shorten his visit at our house.

He did this because I had a terrible night. Obviously I was productive and got a lot of posting done on my sites, but I was in pain the whole time. When I finally tried to go to bed I was still in too much pain to sleep and was in fact still awake when my husband left for work at 9:30 this morning.

I slept, but got up at 2 pm so that’s not too much sleep. I’m sure that contributes to my continuous pain cycle. I think I need to actually be knocked out for several days in a row to reset my whole body.

Anyway, my husband called his brother to tell him how awful I’ve been feeling and to suggest that his visit at our house not be too long.

I feel terrible about that. I didn’t want him to tell his brother he can’t stay here long. They don’t get to see each other all that often and who am I to stop them.

As far as I’m concerned the three of them – Chris’ brother and his two teenage kids – can come and visit. If I’m not feeling well then I just won’t participate in whatever they are doing. I know my niece wanted me to go out with her on a big shopping spree, but I never really thought that would happen and now that I’m still feeling so horrible it won’t be happening, but there’s no reason to cancel or shorten their visit.

It looks like I’ll have to call Chris’ brother myself to let him know that it’s ok to visit.

I’ve got to get myself into a boat!

by

I’m still trying to find a way to go boating this year. We’ve been invited to a friends house tomorrow night and they live out in the middle of no where … I think on a lake. If I’m lucky maybe I’ll find myself in a canoe tomorrow evening or Saturday morning.

I just adore canoing and I’m so upset that I haven’t gone for a few years. I swear I was born in a canoe. There’s photos of me in canoes and boats when I was so young that I have no memory of it. That’s why I say I must have been born in a canoe because there’s certainly photographic evidence that I’ve been enjoying them most of my life!

Well if I don’t get to go boating this weekend I know that on September first I’ll be on a boat. A cruise boat! My brother made reservations for our whole family to go on a Toronto dinner boat cruise on September first. That should be fun. It’s not a canoe but it’ll be fun. Dinner, drinks, getting together with my family – and a boat. Yeahhh.
