    @Giseledta It’s very frustrating that you had a daycare kids with pink eye. Hopefully it doesn’t spread.

    yes giselta ,lets hope it doesn't spread,my grandson just went back to daycare with a doctor`s note after having hand foot/mouth and my daughter was off fri/(sat,sun)mon/tues ,mind you her boss said to work from home yesterday as Toronto got the snow pretty bad(good thing it landed near a weekend

    She was on a conference call yesterday and Sebastian got into her makeup bag and wrote on the wall -ahh the life of 2 year olds

    My son had to take a day off today to watch cara as she has a fever ,as daughter-in-law took 3 sick days this month already ,so there is a lot going around

    I just had a lovely bath with oil cubes from lush (this is my frugalness they are small balls but I still cut them into quarters ) so I get more out of it my skin feels nice and soft -lol I am now sneezing a lot

    Supper tonight I am not worrying about it -will be whatever

    I didn’t know that certain foods make kidney infection worse. I always wake up several hours later in the night and feel fine and go about my businesss. But now I am in lots of pain I stopped eating what aggravates the kidney infection this morning took antibiotic. I must be very swollen today on both sides of my back now.

    I been lurking in the corner the reading everyone’s daily adventure in the cold. Don’t look up temperatures here I suggest you’ll become extremely jealous. For example: There flowers blooming in Pitt meadows it was on the news.

    I accidentally hit send when I wasn’t finished typing...

    I wrote out a symptoms list prior and after being diagnosed with kidney infection it’s two pages long. Or single sided. I am taking that to my doctor tomorrow.

    I told mental health on Monday how it was and how it was going to be in 3 phone calls. They threatened to cut off services and I got smart and threatened with a lawsuit and/or discrimination complaints with the human rights tribunal. I was in lots of pain on Monday it was told to me that they didn’t care if I was in pain I needed to attend something that was in a care plan recommended by my specialist. I don’t think they understood I couldn’t even walk there I couldn’t even dress to go anywhere I was in bed for several days leading up to it to a diagnosis that was the day before. I think I made it very clear to them in my don’t piss off tone that I meant business until they pissed me off then it got real, real quick.

    I am sorry to anyone on here that if I came across to anyone sounding like a complete A- hole towards them. It wasn’t my intention I may have been in lots of pain and said somethings that were mean and aggressive it wasn’t my intent. I also had a loss of cognitive abilities so explaining what I meant probably sounded I was being a Big B. I am still having issues to this day but at least I can string things together to make it sound like I know what I am talking about.

    @greentires4me Sometimes it can be difficult to explain to people that despite their policy, your current illness is getting in the way of what they’re expecting you to do. Easier said than done. I hope the antibiotics work quickly on your kidney infection.

    Brought the fixings to make a toasted roastbeef sandwich for my lunch today at work so I don't have to leave. Didn't eat dinner last night so I am starving today.

    There is a video to watch and a daily survey on Caddle only problem video won’t play for me I might try again. I am so tired I slept from 1am to 10:50am. Long story and I don’t feel like going into it anymore.

    I have a doctors appointment today at 1:20pm I have to tell my doctor everything that has gone on in the last 7 days since I last seen him. He’ll have answers I am sure I am betting on it. I just want to know some things and very unsure of how to go about it. I feel like speaking is a foreign language to me and I wish some days I was mute. But I could write out everything and be good with that.

    My meds were delivered at 9pm at night last night they were suppose be delivered at 1pm In the afternoon by someone else. We even had a fire drill and someone else in the building go there’s but not mine. I had a stern talking to the pharmacist on the phone over it they are delivered every 2 days suppose to be this has happened in the past but when you feel like crap. They expected me to walk into town to grab them in the darkness. Some days I wish I had a car but insurance is going up another 375$ a year in May. And it just went up in November by 250$.

    I am going to get dressed first time in 5 days. In street clothes I Should say. I been lounging in pjs for 5 days well not because I wanted to but because I didn’t feel well.

    Have a good day all!!

    Hi all it’s a very cold day here even though the sun is shining bright.
    Had a few errands to run so did that
    wanted to get more of the Vector Protein bars free only taxes . SomI made a trip to Walmart . Will take them all to the Youth Shelter for Valentine’s.
    Also went out looking for the new tear pads but no luck with the good coupons.

    Hope everyone who is under the weather is feeling much better. @greentires4me my heart goes out to you with all you have to endure with our Health care system .Hope you DR has answers for you and you feel much better.
    Have a great Thursday all

    Sunny Thursday-yay! Yesterday, my body balked at the idea of stepping outside for any reason. Was glad to rest at home instead-it was like payback for the all cold outings to shovel snow or get groceries.

    Made the raspberry-rosemary oatmeal bars today (from Dec. 2108 Cooking Light's farewell issue) and despite some ingredient substitutions or lack of cornstarch, they tasted ok!

    Talize's $3 yellow or purple tag sale is on today for clothing. Last day of Rexall's Customer Appreciation Event too.
    Tomorrow, Walmart stores begin their February clearance sales on clothing. Will see in the morning if the coat I like is still even on the rack (mostly smaller sizes as of last week).

    February 2018 issue of Consumer Reports has 21 tips for smartphones, prices (look at the differences between US and Canada pricing in the Canada Extra section) for new phones/tablets plus some appliance testing for quietest appliances. Worth a read if you have a chance to see the copy at your local library.

    I pulled out my last two January coupons for the recycling bin. I know my Other Money tally will be about $70 due to a gift certificate used this month.

    My ordered shoes should be delivered today as I checked the tracking number and the box is on a truck. I will thank my current shoes and then bin them when I open the new shoe box. Traction is everything in icy, snowy conditions!

    Sibling purchased a boot/glove dryer as he is outdoors for his work shift each day. Seems to use two cycles to get boots dry. I usually turn dryer off at bedtime (not risking a possible electrical issue while we sleep) and place boots by radiator to dry. He's learned to remove the insoles to help dry them too.

    Vileda SuperTwist mop and pail kit-the three piece handle is a compact design but I discovered that moving a wrung out mop head on said handle leads to handle sections trying to separate. I will see if the old mop handle can connect to the new mop head with really wide fabric strips.
    The pail is slightly narrower than my older pail and the wringer design is also different. Hoping not to damage that wringer this year.

    Wow, one month down for 2019. How are resolutions holding up? I have yet to do some strength training for my hands but I still need that activity. Handling a metal shovel has told me so.

    I ventured out today after being in since last Friday-I needed a few groceries but I didn't feel like going far and rightly so as I felt a bit crappy as I was walking around sobeys -its 7 minutes form my house
    I spent 80.03 but saved 19.77 in coupons and 1.25 in caddle and checkout51 so was pretty happy I alos found out if you have a personal 20% off on one item sent to you it works on sale stuff too
    (1) compliments fabric softner 3.49 on sale-20%=2.79

    Since I spent less this month I decided to treat myself to supper a wonderfull chicken meat pie -freshly made in sobeys -only will eat half as its pretty big ,hubby will get wings/fries at fortinos on the way home from picking up Ashlyn at the bus stop today

    Maybe I felt warm in the store as I was over dressed but gee it was so cold decided not to go to shoppers today for seniors day as I don't want to overdo it as I babysit on Friday
