I actually had a weekend off last week. I literally didnt know what to do with myself. I already have over 100 hours booked overtime for this year and also 6 days holidays from last year....The sun came out last weekend and as my mom used to say...i went to town...I got all of my walls washed, drawers and closets cleaned out, the windows were open and I was blasting oldies loud enough for the next block to hear...

then, what would I do with my next day off??? lol...all that cleaning in one day and the next day I as able to have coffee after coffee with people I havent seen in forever...aaaaaaa so nice..

I loved my annual scrapbooking weekend with my friend Laurie. We even stayed an extra day because a blizzard blew through and we couldnt even see the road. I got alot done...lots and lots of pages, had laughs and some heart to heart talks...and had naps...wonderful naps.  cant wait till next year!!!

I worked nights last night because another nurse was sick...the day before I put in 16 hours....I am sooooo tired. I just got up early and finished up the course I was taking and I will pop it in the mail before work again tonight.

Even with the exhaustion I am excited because my friend is here from BC and we are going to sample desserts for her wedding this summer...yummmmmm. I am their MC for the wedding....lol they have noooooo idea.....lol

I also get to laugh at myself again.....I found a lump in my breast in the weekend that was very sore and instead of thinking logically and calmly... I panicked and got an hour and half sleep because I was dreaming that I had cancer or was pregnant...then I worked 16 hours...what a mess. I went to the doctor and of course it was what I suspected but thought it could not be possible....yes I have mastitis ... a lactating womens problem or of course as one girl at work said......You mean you have what the cows on the farm get??????   I am still laughing and my friends are now calling me the big tit in the most affectionate way of course.   It hurts like hell though!!!

And the big thing! I leave for my yearly scrapbooking weekend!!! I am so excited and I have made pins for our group...."The glue sniffers".

I kicked my boyfreind out 4 days ago and still trying to work things out day by day. He didnt respect me and I was beggining to think it was me...lack of self confidence but it was him. I miss him and love him but I wont put up with it. He called from Sask asking me to come visit and I said no....it will get easier and easier I know that.
Its now time for me....My nerve pain in my arms today has been unbearable at times but I went to my friends and sat in her sauna for an hour, breathed deep and relaxed....it helped.
Now some paperwork, and some homework for a class I am taking........
I work everyday this week coming up so no time for me.............

Its amazing how I just loooooooove to sit around and do nothing on my days off. Well, not "nothing". I have put stuffed peppers in the slow cooker, had the repair man here for the washer, cleaned out the dogs ears, caught up on social club minutes for work, done emails, had coffee, done dishes....hmmmm I guess I can say I like to lounge around in my pj's and putter around the house...I love puttering and getting little things done that have piled up.

I ate well today, but no excerise yet, my arms are on fire and I still feel hung over since I worked nights lastnight.......tommorrow???

I cant believe we had another dump of snow. I am sure my student from China is thinking that is the only weather we have here.
The weather matched my mood. I threw out my boyfriend last night and miss him terribly. I just cant justify being with someone who disapears for 14 hours at a time getting drunk and thinks its okay...no calls or nothing....

so forward and onward again....want to just feel healthy and lose weight...I want to wear clothes that dont involve material from curtains that look like tents are us...lol

hmmmm what to do first....

Its getting chilly and just a few snowflakes but no winter yet....Toni the Chinese student thought it was sooooooo cold today at -1....hee hee. I laughed so hard because I told her it wasnt cold at all. I tried to tell her that her snot was going to freeze to her face...I am so cruel....lol

Its almost Halloween and I have a few costumes I could wear but havent decided yet. Toni and I made Halloween bags and have decorated and tommorrow night will carve some pumpkins. On Friday when I am done work we will try to go to a haunted house in town then to a pub for supper and look at costumes...not too late. I have to work the next morning.....

I hope everyone has a fun Halloween!!!!!!!

I cant believe that the summer is almost over....I saw one tree turning and thought it was great....and then suddenly the next morning I swear all the leaves were falling off the trees.....beautiful yet sad.....

I have a new student living with me that moved in a few weeks ago from china....she thinks its cold already......ha haa haaa. wow she is in for it.....Her name is Toni and she is 21, niave and sweet. I guess I will have to pick up some Halloween decorations and have fun with the holidays.....

I even bought a new camera and I am so excited I havent eve taken it out of the box....I want to have time to go and take pics of everything and read the instructions from cover to cover......I cant wait to figure out how to put pics online...hee heee.  I have put over 105 hours each paycheque lately so I will get time....I swear......next month.....

I also went on a girls weekend and flirted with a guy that I had no intention of talking to again....well, he calls me every night and thinks I am the cats meow......hmmmmmmmm

This weather is incredible...I know its been hotter than 36 degrees....I cant remember what that is in Fareinheit....really really hot....

I called in sick to work this morning...I had a migraine from hell and I felt so bad because there is never anyone to work...but I guess is worked out. Of course when I called the front desk was not put on "Nights" again and the phone did not go through to the nurses phone. A emergency waiting to happen...it really pissed me off that these things happen that jeoparidize peoples safety. This is also a place where I work like a dog for 12 hours....its emotional and taxing from every direction. The shareholders make money on our building but we are told we can not have another nurse to help us hand out meds to 70 people in the evenings. 70 people,,,,alone this is an accident waiting to happen.

We are all physically exhausted and have reoccuring headaches, flu, sinus infections and aches and pains. We are near quitting because we cannot handle it. ug.....

the guys worked in my yard all day and have almost finished my deck...I am so excited and looking forward to ( when it cools down) sitting and reading a book. I havent read a book for months....thats aweful. My head hurts to much to read and enjoy it.....I cant wait to have a BBQ and sit and sip some wine!!! My  new deck is 20 by 22. and that is huge but it doesnt even look big in my yard.....i love that my yard is the size of a football field....

I am back to work tommorrow for two days and then two off. Next weekend I am going on a steam train ride with two of my friends. A couple of my friends and I have decided to have Christmas in the summer from now on...we get together for a weekend, its not so hectic and we can give gifts for the garden....fun!!!!!!
