Today is CT scan day. My appointment tonight is at 9:40pm and it is actually in a different location compared to where I normally go. Most of the time I get my scan done in the South Tower but tonight i am in the North Tower. I do not recall ever getting a CT scan there so I am not sure if it is the same or not. I will go early on case I made a mistake to where I am. When I am in the south Tower I know a lot of the staff that work there so I will often get expedited. I am not sure if I will get the same where I am going.
Today has been an interesting day foodwise. I was in schedule for most of the day and ate, but then in the afternoon I felt full so was hesitant to eat too much. I snacked a bit here and there but did not eat a proper lunch in the afternoon. In the morning though I actually ate more than I normally would. I ate a taro based dim sum dish that my parents had prepped for me. I slowly ate it over the course of approximately 45minutes. I felt fine afterwards though and then had a coffee in the afternoon because I love the convenience of it.
Last night it had snowed a bit. Xavier shoveled right before bed but he leaves for school rather early in the morning. Last night I was not feeling well and while I was making fried rice for the kids I felt like I was drained of all energy. The kids are always willing to help me out thankfully and Xavier for me some food. Mel is always worried about me. She asked me how I was so I told her I was curled up in the fetal position asking why me. Why did my wife abandon me. She did not buy it. I got Olivier ready this morning and at 7:50 I told him I was going out to shovel. His reply was you can not shovel. I am going to go do it. I told him that he had to get ready for school and then he can come out and help me. He rushed and made sure his bag was packed and hurried up to get dressed and came out to help me. I love how much he has matured and listens to Mel. He came out when I had half the driveway done but I appreciate that he knew that this was important. Speed is not his forte, but he made sure he did everything quickly so he could come help me out. He is still young and does not do as clean of a job as Xavier, but he is doing well.
The new furniture that Mel ordered arrived today and they do not bring it to the room, but leave it inside. You need to pay an extra $50 to get delivered to a room of your choice. I asked if they could put it literally 5 steps away and they said no. They ended up blocking the whole entrance so you could not come into the house. When Xavier got home I had him help me move some of the boxes. I moved two of the chairs earlier by rolling them up, but did not dare with the couch.
There was a bit of assembly required and I did not realize how much energy it took for me to do all of that. Afterwards I was tired, much like this morning. When I weigh myself I am curious to see if all of the activities that I did while Mel was away dropped my weight or not. I had taken a photo of the entrance and sent it to Mel but I inadvertently left her disposable cup that she wanted to throw away in the frame. Me and the boys decided we wanted to fill it with hot water and tell Mel we did not throw it away because we were not sure if she was finished her drink yet since it was still warm. She will get mad at us for not throwing it away and just leaving it there. So we will see how she reacts when she arrives home to a hot drink.
