@cath007 PLEASE reach out if you’re needing help. @Shwa Girl is right. You are strong but there’s nothing wrong with needing some help. Asking for help is the strongest thing you can do

[coupon girl]

Cath,maybe you can talk to your dear aunt or another family member or reach out for help.

Son is painting Ashlyn's bedroom ,he asked if hubby and i would help .My dear hubby is feeling better from his cold only a dry cough.
I decided not to go as i am on day 4 of this head cold -i truly believe if we didnt have the rsv shot we would have gotten worse like Sebastian and my daughter.

She was off all last week and she told me she will take one more day today off -sick day.She is done her meds but still has this awful cough.

I am just doing a load of towels and watching t.v .

Getting quite a dump of snow this morning-just finished up our childcare duties for the week and back to work at the school this aft. Never a dull moment.
One of the boys had an asthma attack on Sat night but we managed to find some prednisone in the medicine chest and avert a trip to the ER. He had another one this morning on the way to school-so a family friend is going to take him to the respirologist. Hopefully she can get him back on track.

Hope the little guy is o.k.

Keep that letter. It's gold! This will be useful for you. For sure.

My friend got denied for help too. Got a lawyer. All of a sudden, er, they 'found' the help for my friend. Miracle.

Sorry about your friend.
Lots of online friends here. And we live in a few provinces. You are not alone. O.k.?

Simplii financial offered 5.25% until February. But it was funny. Only on the account we set up for monthly bills. We have an account for annual bills like car insurance. No 5.25% for that. But later we got some emails. All Simplii savings is 5.25% until February. Now waiting for Tangerine bank to give an offer.

Good Morning Everyone,
UGH, the one thing I want the most, sleep is what eludes me. I have never been sick and struggled so much with getting sleep and I see on the nights I do not sleep well the next day is rough. But it isn't that I am not trying to sleep oh I am trying so now I am just super frustrated.

Monday I actually managed to get a few things done, it was slow but I worked out a system where I would work for half an hour to 45 minutes and then work on something around the house for 10 to 15 minutes because that is all I have in me before the coughing starts. It was nothing amazing but at least I got some stuff done.

Yesterday was not as good. I got nothing done before I had to head out to work for a lunch thing and when I got home I was done.

Today is a work from home day so we will see how it goes.

Yesterday I went to lunch early to talk to my boss about some of the stuff on my plate and maybe it shouldn't be me. It is some of those things where I have the skills to do but when you ask why other things aren't getting done this is why. Right now I have trainees who need my attention but because of the day to day issues coming my way I cannot book training. We agreed but as always it won't be fixed overnight so we will look at next steps.

Need to look at the new flyers, will do that maybe at lunch. I don't feel like we need much but would like to pick up some stuff to add to the food drive bins at work so will see what I can find,

Happy Wednesday Everyone.

Good morning all! I did a quick gas fill up, then as quick as I could a NF mini shop. Just got back but why was I soooo bushed?
Oh yeah, I forgot that from 6:30 a.m. till around 8:30 a.m. I started the daunting task of emptying DD's old room out, sorting sooo much
clothing into piles to be bagged up, books, shoes, jewelry, mementoes. When she moved out she could only take so much to her new smaller
apartment. The antique vanity was the only item she wanted, but has no room for it now at her place. Np, we can live with that in the room.
The Thrift store is getting another large donation, but not from any of her things......our " stuff " that I forgot we had piled into her closet...ha ha
It'll probably take me all week to finish this task but doing a bit everyday will make it more manageable and easier on my joints.
We all need a project, this is mine atm.

[Giseledta]

Good morning .... omg. I'm not sure if this is working. I've been kicked off smart canucks for so long. Fingers crossed ..
Not sure if anyone remembers me. But, hi!!
