It is ridiculous how much snow we have received in the last 24 hours. I have never seen so many things within the city shut down before but considering the road conditions it was expected. I had planned to go in for blood work this afternoon but with all of the cancellations I think the…
Last night I almost forgot to post and remembered when I was about to go to bed. I had written the entry earlier in the day and it then slipped my mind to go back and post something. I got distracted with things yesterday and got caught up in things. We had people stop over…
Xavier had a game yesterday and the team as a whole did not play well. People think that I am tough on Xavier, but Mel is just as bad if not worse, which amuses me a bit. He did not play horrible, but he did not live up to the standard that we have for…
Today I want to focus a bit more on gratitude. I had mentioned that it was a rough week yesterday and it seems that this week has been so long. At the end of each day as I went to bed it felt like it was the end of the week, even though it was…

Mel read my entry a couple of days ago because someone asked about it and she skimmed it before sharing. She criticized it and said I needed to close loops in my story. She was talking about when I said cancer is expensive and did not elaborate on it. One of the pills that I…
I keep on getting up at 3am, but this morning I did not feel great to eat so I just had one of my bedside snacks. It seems like clock work that I wake up at that time and most of the time I want to eat. Right now I feel over bloated so I…
