Day 372 - Sleep Much?

And finally I can catch up on my sleep! We arrived home last night around 0030 & I slept until about that time this afternoon! Yes, 12 hours! I managed to crawl out of bed & walk down to the bunkhouse with the intentions of finding the mustard costume, but I decided the boxes were too heavy. At least the girls & I were able to get some fresh air & a bit of exercise!

When I returned to the house, I was exhausted. I haven't been feeling well today. I am shaky, weak, nauseous... so much so that I took an anti-emetic today. That's the first time I've ever taken one 3 days post-chemo. I hope this feeling goes away, as it's pretty icky & I would hate to spend the last 4 rounds feeling like this! My pick line is awfully sore too. I'm hoping it will smarten up soon as well!!

Enough complaining! I went back to bed at 1600 & I didn't really get out of bed! Jaco made me a grilled cheese sandwich, as per my request, and peeled me an orange. (It was his first time making a grilled cheese & he did a great job!) We watched the latest episode of The Office & then I watched Killers with Ashton Kutcher & Katherine Heigl. It was cute. Pretty bad acting, but cute. Tom Selleck was a nice addition to the movie too. It's worth the rental. (Or you can borrow it from me!)

By 0030, I was back in bed & the lights were out. What a day.

Day 351 - No Movie & The End of The Office

This afternoon, we decided to go to a movie. We drove all the way to town, only to find out that the show was sold out & the only seats available were in the very front row. We took our seats, but I couldn't even see the screen properly, we were that close! The picture was completely distorted! I thought it was ridiculous to pay $12/pp for a ticket when we couldn't even see it properly, so we asked for a refund. The next one didn't start for 2.5 hrs. I had already bought my Kinder Kids Pack & yup, you guessed it... The EXACT SAME TOP as the Inception Kids Pack... It's getting creepy now! 


We drove home & watched... the end... of The Office! Oh no! Now what? I'm already having withdrawals from Jim, Pam, Dwight & 'That's what she said!'...


I suppose we'll see 'Life As We Know It' another night... until then, I'm watching The Office reruns... :o)

Day 345 - Lazy Sunday

Today was quite possibly the most 'rested' day I've had in a very long time. I didn't go outside for more than a few minutes & the rest of the day was spend lounging around the house. My body must be loving the relaxation! 


I downloaded some tunes & the never ending download of Season 3 House continues to soak up our measly 10 gb limit of bandwidth per month. Jaco surfed on his computer & I had intentions of catching up on the blog, but it didn't really happen! 


We watched The Back-Up Plan with Jennifer Lopez. It was funny & cute, but quite predictable. I'm not sure I'll ever have children. That scene with the birthing pool... Oh my. I thought that was supposed to be the 'good option'. Hmm. I'll have to talk to my Doctor about that! ;o) 


We watched more of The Office - many more episodes & I'm going to feel like part of the family! Ah well, what can I say? I'm a ridiculous convert. I hated it, now I love it. I used to be like that with green peppers. No onions yet - don't hold your breath on that one!


A bit of laundry & cuddling with the dogs... all in all, a perfect day! Tomorrow we have dinner booked with some fantastic friends...

Day 341 - R&R

Today was a quiet day of R&R. We slept in, watched some of The Office & that was about it. Sorry! Nothing exciting here! Check back tomorrow!

Day 330 - The Office

So over the past week or so, Jaco & I have started watching The Office. Or should I say, Jaco started watching The Office & after the first 2 seasons, I have now started watching The Office. Most people enjoy it. I hated it. Argh, Michael Scott is so stupid & annoying. I couldn't watch it. The show never made sense. It seemed to be a lot of nothing. Eventually, Jim & Pam warmed my heart & I couldn't help but laugh at the pranks they would pull on Dwight. So, now, I am officially an Office Convert. 


It's nice to be able to laugh & share some fun times with Jaco. We've had so much time apart, it is refreshing to share this time together & remember why we love each other. I am very grateful for his help while I have been sick. Granted, I can't ask him to help much in the kitchen unless it's oranges, nutbars or chicken, but then, look who's talking. 


Speaking of cooking, did I mention I was reading The Kind Diet? Quite interesting... I haven't made it to the recipes just yet, but I'm so close I can taste it! (ha ha) I'll let you know how I get on with the kitchen... worth a read if you've got an open mind! Or a really empty stomach!


Last night I started to get some strange pains in my arm/wrist/hand. It's kind of a dull ache that doesn't want to go away. It's not gone yet, but I'm hoping it will leave soon. Just when I start to feel better, I get another ache & pain. This is really getting old now. And so am I.


Anyhow, I should hit the hay...

Just another lazy Saturday night...

Day 328 - Snow. Are You Kidding Me?

Bah. What a day. It started out pretty good. Jeff arrived the previous night & him & Mom were leaving for BC today for a wedding this weekend. Mom wanted to have a big breakfast & of course, Ken came over to meet Jeff. We had bacon, eggs, pancakes & all the fixin's. Ken stuck around to fix the internet - the signal has been dropping as of late - I think he's got it fixed now! Mom & Jeff left just before lunch, Jaco did the dishes & I had a rest. 


I haven't quite recovered from yesterday. I still feel rubbish from the walk yesterday. I slept until 1630, laid on the couch with the dogs, did my best to sort out the laptop & listened to Jaco chuckle while he watched his episodes of The Office. I am still awaiting my turn to watch House... *Ahem*


So, today has been a very lazy day. Add to that, it started snowing. Yup. It's the 16th of September & it is snowing. I don't like winter & I despise being cold, so I'll be dreaming of Bora Bora tonight... Here's hoping I feel a bit more 'human' tomorrow. 


Sleep well... MJV xxxxx

Contemplate is NOT lovin' this. Nor am I. 

It's too early for snow! NO!!!!
