What a beautiful weather day today; hard to believe its Nov. 8!! I think it actually got up to plus 10! The sun was shining. I love going to the rink with short sleeves! So much more fun than going bundled up in parka and boots! Jayde played hockey today. They tied at 5. Was alot of fun watching them play! Kyle played yesterday, and I think they lost by a goal or two. Good effort by his team. I had to laugh tonight, cuz I couldn't remember what the score was or who they had played. My memory is like a sieve!!
I'm at work tonight. Where else would I be?? Ha! There are worse places to be. And yes, we are feeling the influence of H1N1. Parents are worrying about their sick children. And older children, adults, are worrying about their senior and aged parents. So, thats indicative of how the winter will be. Snotty nose and off to the doctor! Yes, I did 'give' in and get my H1N1 shot. Its supposed to be the best preventative measure, so I offered up my arm. And, I have decided when the children are accepted onto the qualifying list, that they will go to. And, I'm hoping Del will go when other adults are accepted. I'd rather be safe than sorry at this point. Someone told me a story about the epidemic in the 1920's, and mentioned that families would have done anything at that point to save loved ones, and that persuaded me in the right direction. For me at least. Everyone gets to make their own decision on this one!
The boys are still busy at school. And at home. Actually not at home much, cuz they're not there much. Jayde is almost done with volleyball at school. Tomorrow is Zones for his age group, and then they're done. So then all he has left is one more week of volleyball with the Varsity group. He has loved the experience of playing up with them!! They played in a tournament yesterday, and he came home excited and full of stories of the skill he saw from other areas!! Kyle's team has practise a couple times a week. Their schedule is not quite as grueling. Both boys have hockey practise a couple times a week. With a minimum of one game a week. Jayde actually had three games this last week.
My sister took a fall last weekend, which unfortunately has put her in a hospital bed for a few weeks. Multiple fractures will certainly slow her down for a little while. Took my dad and Michelle to visit her on Tuesday. Had 'fun' strong arming her into a wheelchair with the physio boys! Michelle was a sweetheart and helped with all the little tasks. My poor dad tagged along pushing the 'pole' and trying to keep up!
Yesterday morning my brothers, their wives, and I spent some time at dads house. (And Kyle, of course!) We sorted and cleaned. Didn't take long to get a few projects done! That fifth wheel trailer of dads is getting a little costly to heat at this point, and he has been, and will be spending more time in town.
Thats my update for now. I'm tired already and I have 7 hours to go in this shift!! Ugh!! Have a patient that is refusing to settle to bed and is wandering the halls. That should keep me entertained! Hope you all are having a sound sleep! lucky you!! I'll get my nap in the morning while the phone rings and the sun shines!
