We left approximately 2 hours today after I was finished my treatment. I think that today I may drop a bit of weight as traveling was a bit tough. I ate things throughout the morning, and we stopped for Subway in Mattawa. I ate half of my 6inch sub and then afterward I did not…
Like all families, my family has some odd quirks that I do not understand. Within the last 1 or 2 months we have had several deaths in our family. One is my uncle, my father’s brother in Vietnam and the second was my cousin in Vancouver. My mother has been trying to shield me from…
Sudbury has atrocious drivers. The weather is abysmal outside right now, but it seems that people forget the rules of the road when conditions are slippery. I do not really mind people driving cautiously but I think it is a bit ridiculous that people do not even try and stop at the lights and drive…
We went to the movies today because Olivier wanted to see Avatar with a friend. The movie is quite long at 3.5 hours so it was a bit of a challenge to make sure that I eat during the movie. This is the first time that Mel and myself actually got through a large popcorn…

Last night the Instacart guy came back in the evening and gave me the mushrooms. I had requested a refund and then tried to pay him the money but he had said that it was his mistake and would not take the money. I appreciate the accountability and the fact that he came back with…
It is two days before Christmas and I am not sure if we are prepared or not. We still need to make some purchases at Costco and instead of venturing out there I might just order what we need via Instacart to avoid both the weather and the people. I am sure that it is…
I now have a driver to take me to my appointments as Mel does not think that I am capable. She is also cutting up my food and feeding it to me after she pre-chews it. I am actually not that bad at the moment but I think that Mel is doing it to prevent…
