I go for my last round of pain injections later this morning. They’re working really well. Less pain, less inflammation and if things do hurt, I recover much faster. A few ppl in my family didn’t want me to get the injections but I told them to shhh and mind their own. I’m glad I ignored them.

Ozempic update for those following: I’m one month in and I’m 8lbs down!! My side effects have eased and my dose increases this weekend!

Had a miserable sleep. Have a stressful and busy day ahead. We’re supposed to close the house deal by midnight and suddenly my husband is wavering AGAIN. 😡 (Don’t get me started- this indecision is ridiculous!) But the good news is I woke up looking leaner & when I stepped on the scale, I am!!!

Proud of teen! She made honour roll again! She really struggled with one of her classes last year (math, because it sucks, I get it) but in the end, pulled through. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Just booked myself a hair appointment and I’m excited because my stylist had room for next week! Normally takes several to get in to see him! After a stressful month, I’m treating myself! Self care - New Hair!

Just hit the gym for a short workout. I’ve been so busy lately that I have let my workouts slide. Time to get back to it, especially since I soon start back up at the boathouse for rowing! 💪🏻

My in-laws decided to cut their trip to visit us short because ‘they realized they didn’t want to be alone during their visit while hubby & teen were not around due to work & school’ Translation: We don’t want to spend time with that horrid woman you married. Me: 🤷🏼‍♀️

So house update: Had a meeting with our realtor who was able to get a plumber to the house to double check concerns. Turns out everything is well maintained etc.. we were able to double check things while there. Hubby is now feeling better about the situation. Fingers crossed the rest is smooth.

We also got to experience a sunset while there yesterday. It was so pretty. The property gives off zen vibes. I really hope we get it and it can be a happy and peaceful chapter in life.

So my husband is ‘on my list’ right now. He wants to back out of the house offer, we’re supposed to close on Tuesday. The guy who started this whole search is now apprehensive about moving to that part of the county & doing the minor things the inspector mentioned. Me:

Hubby & I are off to watch our oldest daughter graduate university today! So proud of her! It’s been several years of hard work on her part! She’s currently taking a year off to work before applying to Grad School. She’s working towards a goal of working in the field of Mental Health!

I still don’t know who the hell started the Porch Goose prank for my birthday but I’ve decided to take over its outfits! Meet Goose-T Face!! 😆 #Halloween #PorchGoose

Today started off annoying. The foggy weird weather is not helping my mood. Husband and I are off to the house inspection today. Teen is at school but she’s not happy about it. 🙄 How DARE we send her when buses were cancelled? 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hopefully the rest of the day offers no drama.

There’s nothing I enjoy more than arguing with my teen at the buttcrack of dawn. It’s a fog day, buses are canceled but because my husband has the day off he’s making her go to school, but apparently it’s my problem?

Ozempic update for those following. As of next week the doctor is raising my dose to .5mg. The side effects have eased. She says they’ll probably return with each upgraded dose but I seem to be responding well. I’ve lost just over 6lbs in the first few weeks. Let’s see what happens next!

Trying to play catch up on the news & it all just has me shaking my head. My neighbor who was arrested? Lots of illegal firearms & ammo. 😳 Megyn Kelly? Trash. Vivek - Arrogant Trash. Terrible ad. Vance- Douche. Trump- Orange Dumpsterfire Alberta Separatists- Whiney L Graham? Loved male escorts

Well that was fast! Teen had an ultrasound on her toe this morning, she’s still in the process of the bone scans… and our doctor already phoned needing to speak to us about the ultrasound results!! We see her next week.

Good news: I finally slept and woke up rested. Bad news: Thanks to my MS being a b**** I had to use a cane for the first time in ages. At least my cane is pretty! Win some you lose some. This is my life with Multiple Sclerosis.

The Republicans have ripped off their masks and are cool with being the Hell-Beasts they really are. Vivek Rama-lama-ding-dong doesn’t deserve to win. He’s abhorrent and so is Vance.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

There’s still a very heavy police presence at my neighbors house. I think there’s definitely more to the story than what the public is being told. We’re all struggling to wrap our heads around this happening in our neighborhood, especially those who know him (I don’t, only by waving).

My MS is being a b**** today. I think my October stress is starting to get to me. My legs feel incredibly heavy and numb and I had an episode with an MS hug earlier. It’s so frustrating. I feel like I’m walking through molasses with weights on. #MultipleSclerosis

Didn’t sleep much last night. Slept in. Woke up still exhausted. Went to the fridge to discover I’m out of Red Bull. Today’s off to a great start. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Currently locked down in our neighborhood thanks to some crazy police activity going down nearby. So that’s fun. Guess it’s a good thing we chose to move?

Oh and by the way- a bloody crowd had gathered nearby. Seriously? You’re told to avoid the area and lock yourself down and your first instinct is to show up near the scene? Idiots.

Threat averted. Shelter in place lifted. It ended peacefully with the guy being arrested. A little unsettling knowing such an unhinged person with a gun was your neighbor. What an afternoon/evening!

Today my husband and I have been married 19 years! We’ve been together 24 years and all I can think of is “Where has time gone?”

One of my AB separatist relatives is starting to go down the “immigrants are the reason we’re not going to win” path. They can’t handle the idea that they’re a minority group of people who want to separate from Canada. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh boy. Just got back from my teens doctors appointment where she was summoned in after some bloodwork. Teen has had an injury that won’t heal & hurts. Now she’s developing swelling on joints. Blood shows she may have an autoimmune condition so now we’re off to specialists for further consultation.

Not gonna lie, I’m still disturbed by the rat that was crawling up our door the other night. Where did that lil monster go? Does he have friends nearby? Are they moving into our neighborhood? Why is Nico the neighborhood cat slacking on his job?!!

There’s a video online of a priest being killed by a crucifix during mass. As a PK, this is the stuff of nightmares. Absolutely awful omen. The rational part of my brain is like: it’s just a terrible accident. The Christian-raised part of me is like: It’s heeeeere. 👀

Update. I found them. They were exactly where they should be, I’m just blonde. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My sketching pencils are missing and I’m not happy about it!

You would think that after such a busy & eventful day that I’d be able to relax and sleep, but I’m an adult who overthinks and struggles to relax soooooo yay! No rest for the wicked.

Trump seems to think that the U.S. pays for our healthcare in Canada? Demented old fart has no business being in charge of a country.

Well… It looks like we have a new house!!! Just have to get the inspections complete and send off the deposit etc… We won’t take possession for a few months (we all agreed on a longer close) but when we do, we’ll be straight into renovations and then selling this place. What a day!

Well we did it! This morning we finalized our offer and our realtor has sent it to the sellers realtor to present! This property is amazing. 3acres. A river on it. A large mechanics shop. 5+ bedrooms, massive room for my gym. We’re excited! Let’s see if we get it.

Ozempic Update. 3rd shot complete. I’m currently wearing a shirt that I haven’t been able to wear this year. I’m definitely slimming down, between Oz, my cortisone shots & clean eating, my inflammation is definitely decreasing. Even my face & neck look slimmer.

I saw that our back door camera caught something in the middle of the night… Either a rat or a possum (hard to tell) climbing up the back door. Anyhew. As someone who has a fear of rodents, it’s a good thing we’re talking to our realtor about offering on that other property today. 😱

Just signed up for substack so I can share my writing project but I’m already debating my life choices. Imposter syndrome is a hoot!

I’m trying to find the energy to go workout. I haven’t been in my gym much recently since we’ve been so busy. October was once my favorite month. Now it exhausts me.

There was a weird knock in the kitchen. Winston came flying through the house to see who was here. Pretty sure it was just the wind knocking something into our window Maybe a ghost. Whatever. Nothing that needs barked at.
