G'day all,
Nice to see all the posts this morning, good to see your post Karen and also what you have been up to.
I think your son has the right idea, why wait till 'miss right' comes along, this way when she does (and I am sure she will) he will have a head start. His daughter will also love spending time with her Dad in his own house.
Thank you on your thoughts of the photo I posted at 'Wet Canvas'. In the bit of travel we have done, it seems that every place reminds us of somewhere at home. The number of times we heard from people that the NZ South Island reminded them of Canada was quite incredible. At the Milford Sound some scottish travelers said that it was so much like parts of Scotland. So you see there is no need to travel for the scenery, we all have it on our own doorstep .
I am fascinated by what a 'loon' is. I tried to find it on the net. Is it some sort of bird????
Marnie please do talk about your achievements in the weight loss department, I speak for myself but it is just another gentle reminder why I came here in the first place I also enjoy reading about your day to day happenings.
Ann I hope all went well with your dh's eye op. It is always a worrying time despite the fact that it is now such a routine operation.
My news is not terrific, I saw a new doctor that was recommended to me yesterday. She is very young which initially put me off but she was lovely and listened in great detail to my complaints. She agrees that I do not have arthiritis but unfortunately suspects it is fybromyalgia. I have had yet more blood tests which will show conclusively that is what has been troubling me the last 12 months or so. Whilst I am pleased that I am finally getting to the bottom of this, I am not that thrilled with what she suspects it is.
There is little treatment and some of the treatments you can try have bad side effects.
I will wait to get the final results and then discuss with her the best course of action.
Do any of you know of people with this condition and how do they cope etc. etc. I will have a bit more of a look on the net, I have only see what doctors say but I rather hear what a person with this condition has to say.
I have been invited to a 'business networking' breakfast tomorrow morning. A friend saw some of the stuff I do and was very impressed and feels that there would be quite a bit of call for what I do. I have tidied up my portfolio and last week I finished my brochures. It is going to be hard getting 'tarted up' for a 7 am breakfast meeting but who knows we might be able to put a stop to the travelling and work from home.
I am off to get my haircut, I am sure that will make me feel a lot better.
Have a great day all,
Cheers
Maria
