The big 100!

I can't believe I have managed 100 posts-yahoo! I guess I should bake a cake lol. A lot has happened in this time span, so much to happen over the next 100 posts-here's to 100 more!

The kids are so busy. They had a snowball fight with the neighbours-Josh and Jon vs. Amelia, Lauryn and Belle(fairly fair since Jon is 16!) Josh loves Jon-calls him JonJon-he is so good with the kids. Amelia and I had a funny discussion today-is a flute an animal? Well logic would say no, but her argument was this: air goes in and out, fluids (saliva) goes in and comes out, it is wood from a tree, which is alive, it makes noise. She was just being silly, but it was funny how she was trying to rationalize in a goofball way! Lauryn and Belle play daily again-they go through fits and spurts.

I am swamped with diagnoses and drug interactions etc. This course has given me a whole new appreciation for what physicians know and do. There is so much more to it than what nurses think. I certainly have a new opinion developing. The CYP450 system is enough to give any MD a headache.

I have been running outside-it feels SO good. I wish there were no puddles-I love seeing if I can jump over them-unlike kids who jump in them lol! I went for a really long one tonight, I feel supercharged, the energy and mood lift running outside gives me is second to none. I have been trying to get in a spring mindset and I finally feel I can-I think I will wear my new open toed shoes to the St. Pat's party on friday to celebrate! I also got my hair done a lighter colour in prep for warm weather. Now what to wear to the party?(Update, we had lots of fun, lots of friends there, but left fairly early as I was beat-food was so-so)

A pair of our friends just got engaged-I am so excited. They are our nearest neighbours that we know in our new locale, so it is so exciting. It seems so long ago since we had our wedding, it is a distant memory!

This one is taking me days to finish, I should just sum it up with no hoopla. We have busy weekends until we leave, lots to do, no time. The house is flying along, just got some more aerial pics, so exciting! Had a nice long visit with Sandy, but I am so stressed with my course that I had trouble relaxing. We need a paper-free weekend next time. She is such a supportive friend. We were out of touch a bit when I had my miscarriage years ago after Mimi, but I wished we hadn't been because I know she would have my depression and recognized it. I was in bad shape, looking back on it now it is still distressing. I am glad I have better supports around me now, I would never want to go back to those hard months. We were talking about that and so many things this weekend. It is nice to split our sides laughing too!

I baked a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache tonight, very decadent. It satisfied my lil chochoholics. Since I am 1/2 Irish, I will add 1/2 an Irish blessing-...and may the wind always be at your back....lol! Well, onward to another 100 posts!
