My Birthday
It was my birthday a couple days ago. Thanks to all of you who wished me a happy birthday! I enjoyed some roleplaying, nummy food and treats for dessert, a pretty sweater from mom and soon a full tank of gas too from the parents.
It was so hot and I was so sore from cycling that I didn't want to do anything or go anywhere. Otherwise I really would have liked to go see a movie. Maybe M-SB and I will reschedule. This was a very quiet birthday.
Right now, I feel like I am going to die. I woke at 5:00am with a wicked headache. It has not left me. I dosed on and off with it. I am so hot and the air pressure has caused my ears to pop and the air is just not moving, so i feel hot and sticky and unable to breathe. There are really important things I have to do today, but I feel like shit. I took some advil. I am going to lie back down in the bedroom with the a/c.

Cycling
OMG! I did so much cycling.
One hour with 10 stops to die on my way to Robyns.
Forty minutes with a 10 minutes fetal and gasping on the sidewalk on the hill from Lionel Groulx to Atwater... was sure I would die then, or throw up, or pass out, or all of the above. This was the trip from Robyn's to the store for work. I was 10 minutes late for work.
Half an hour and terrifying high speed and lots of stop stumbling was my ride from the store back down the hills to Robyn's.
and another hour with fewer stops and no feeling of dying as I rode home.
I am a bit sore and definately bruised in the WRONG places.
But I am so proud that I did it! I need to recover now, and the humidty is getting to dangerous to repeat this experience. Maybe after I get back from KG.

8th Anniversary Celebrated with Spiders!
Today is mine and M-SB's 8 year anniversary of being together.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE!!
I woke today with a huge plan. Alas, I am one person and the spiders blocked my way today. My plan was to clean the house, and rearrange furniture and have laundry done and supper ready by candle-light. Oh well. No go.
I did get the bathroom sorted, moved out two boxes, rearranged all the shelvinf, tossed out a bunch of storage crap and moved the litterbox in. Then I dusted the bedroom and folded two loads of laundry while two to three more loads were in various stages downstairs. I washed a load of dishes and a spider dropped on me. I looked up. That was the end of me passing the half-way mark in the kitchen. There were a BUNCH of spiders all over the ceiling and ceiling fan. It freaked me out ALOT! So I took out recycle and garbage and yelled at the spiders.
M-SB called later to arrange taco supper and to tell me that his cousin's wife (Kathleen) is pregnant again... with twins! YAY! Congrats! Twins run in M-SB's family... in spades!
While on the phone with him a GIANT spide crawled across my office wall above my monitor. I screamed. HOW DARE IT! IN MY OFFICE! It met a brutal death sentence via cat litter scoop. That made for me freaking out at poor M-SB on the phone about the spiders. He promised to de-spider the house before we did dinner.
I went for a soothing Creme Earl Grey (vanilla bergamot) tea. That ALWAYS soothes me. *sigh... good calming tea*
Now M-SB is home. He vacuumed all the spiders and sprayed with with death spray. Then took the spider-filler vacuum bag to the trash outside. Now he is making tacos. I went outside and collected flowers and sprigs of herbs from our garden. We have an anniversary bouquet on the altar now. *grin* I also snipped a head of fresh lettuce from our garden. I am spoiled. Our lettuce in our garden is growing so well and tastes so much better than what is at the grocery store... I refuce to eat the oak-leaves the grocers are passing off for lettuce.
Time for dinner.
I love my husband!

Good and Bad
The good:
I HAVE A WORKING BIKE! YAY! It is a bit bigger than I am used to and the brakes work WAY better than my old bike's brakes, so... it stops INSTANTLY... and i fall off. Well, just means I need more practice. Tomorrow after work I will take it to the police station and ask them what I need on it and how to register it.
The bad:
My dad had a bad fall and broke his ankle in 2 places. He is in a wheelchair and the rest of his summer is effectivelt ruined. Please well wishes and a fast recovery would be helpful, especially since my brother's family is coming in to live with my parents for a couple months till they find their new house in Ottawa. Dad won't be able to help them at all now.

Anti-Social
Sorry everyone.
I have been tired and the heat then storms have made me migrainy and uncomfortable and in general very anti-social. I am tired and really need that vacation I never really got last year. It alwasy seems that my vacations are either working vacations or I take time off and spent it entirely getting my home back in order then back to the grind before I have actually relaxed.
Today is a case in point. I have the day off. But M-SB and I have been so busy, even through the weekend that the house was seriously neglected. So instead of getting to relax, I have to clean house and do errands and running around. Then back to work tomorrow.
I hope everyone had a great St-Jean-Baptist and Canada Day.
Oh... and I got rid of Facebook. It was a pain in the butt and didn't do me any help really. I am glad I got rid of it. People can poke here is I have anything important to tell the world.
