A month from today.. the store will be celebrating its 9th anniversary in business. Besides promotional products to give away on that day, we are thinking of having a sale.. and a cake and tea session for our regular customers. What else can you think of ..?? to advertise our anniversary..?? pray tell.
Ready, Get Set, Go Program
For those who are not aware of this.. Chloe will be attending school this fall. We chose french immersion for her .. because we didn’t want her to go to the south end school.. where we heard the kids there are pretty rowdy. But this town has a program called “Ready, Get Set and Go” for all the kids who will be attending school for the first time. I would have volunteered to help in this program if it wasn’t because of my need to take time to heal from my operation. This program is free.. and because of the short of funding this year.. it will only be for 3 days instead of 5. I really cannot fathom the government here, this program is so important to the kids here. .yet they are willing to sting on it.. but would pay millions for a new building to house some old farts. Don’t even get me started..!
Some Ppl Just Can’t Take Advice
The man’s buddy was just in the other day.. and had said .. that his baby was colicky, so of course .. like any good and experienced parents/friend, we told him about grip water and oval drops. But nope.. apparently.. he thinks the baby isn’t uncomfortable and pain about it.. and that the baby doesn’t feel a thing.. and plus he had done EXTENSIVE research of it.
Ok.. buddy..!! no more dishing out advice to you .. that’s for sure..!! go ahead.. and torture your baby..! how silly can anyone get..?? to think that collicky baby don’t feel nothing..?? *slap forehead*
Wonderful Doctor NOT

Happy Canada’s Day
I’m A Survivor !
For those who haven’t been here before.. please know that i am going for a major operation next week. I’m having a hysterectomy and having my fibroids taken out. My fibroids are huge .. and it is making me look like i am 24 weeks pregnant. There is currently some complication with it.. because my hemoglobin is extremely low.. and i’m diabetic. So the risk of me taking the operation is even higher.
Why i didn’t go for the operation earlier..?? I hung on for the longest time.. because my daughter.. Chloe needed alot of attention. With a business to run.. and a child to take care of.. i can’t possibly .. take time off.. and leave everything to PB (the spouse) .. to take care of everything.
Now that Chloe is alot older.. and isn’t an infant no more.. i feel it is time to do it. Of course .. there is still fear.. that i might not come out alive. I am not afraid to die.. but i’m afraid to leave the ones i love behind. Chloe is still very young.. even though she ain’t no infant.. but for PB to raise her on his own.. should something happen .. i don’t dare to think of it.
But i’m a survivor.. !! i am gonna go into the operation with the right frame of mind.. but not without doing everything i can .. in case something does happen. Like making sure that all my finances is taken care of.. and a new will drawn up..and signed by a public notary. I wanna sit down and write a letter to chloe.. just in case.. but i’m too emotional about it.
My surgery is scheduled for Monday. Today .. i’m going in for another blood test and am fasting right now .. and EKG .. and some other visit to the pre-op nurse on Friday. I’ll update as I go. Stay tuned.
What A Day !
What a day this was..! from a sudden call from the gynecologist that he wants to see me.. immediately .. and that tomorrow is not possible. So we closed the store.. went the the doctor’s office.. waited .. saw him.. went to another doctor.. and then went to get my x-ray done. Pending to be done tomorrow is my another blood test.. and EKG.
Not known when the operation is gonna be .. but pretty sure .. it will be next week.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure
That’s what my mother used to say. I’m 43 yrs old this year.. but i don’t look my age. Whenever i tell ppl .. i am really 43 years old.. they asked what i use as wrinkle cream..?? but you see .. i don’t use wrinkle cream… i used anti wrinkle cream, never wait for those wrinkles to come out before you do something about it. Proactive is the word..!
Once Again .. Dracula Is Fed
Yes..! once again.. the Dracula in me .. is fed. The nurse that did my drip the last 2 times wasn’t around.. so another nurse did it. And guess what..?? blood was dripping all over.. and oozing right out. Yup..! joy..! but all is well. i didn’t lose alot of blood.. and i still got a whole bag of it. More pictures to follow. In fact.. i have fun when i am at the hospital.. talking about politics.. and the town.
This was the room i was in for my blood transfusion.
Pumping blood into me now.
Relaxing the hand .. else very painful.
1 Unit of blood today.
About an hour into being Dracula for the day.
An Eye Opener
The nurses in this town’s hospital.. i’ll have to say.. are really doing a great job.. and more. It was an eye opener for me.. when i went for my blood transfusion for 2 days. I never knew the ambulatory service was such a busy place.. and there were so little nurses taking care of so many people. And little did i know that going in for blood transfusion was not an uncommon thingie.
But the nurses were cheerful.. and even the retired nurse who came back to help relief.. was awfully nice. They even wished me good luck.. and gave me a big hug.. when i left the hospital this morning. Nurses are very important in the health industry.. and most i’ve met were very nice.. not so though.. for the other ppl in the hospital.
