I seem to be ok now and am very careful when moving from bed. When I get out of bed I slowly go around to the end of the bed and sit there for a little while before I move on. Things seem to be getting better. It was suggested I protect myself with a…
Xavier is starting hockey again and he will need some new pads this year. Last year in December he needed new pads so he got some. He used them for 2 months and then hockey ended. This time he is going to get some custom pads so he should have them in 8 weeks or…

During some of the development sessions people have been recommending books or interpreting parts of books and my preference is to read the books so I can comment on it. A certain series came out…
We were suppose to go camping this weekend, but with the weather forecast and some of the minor issues with the trailer we opted not to go and we spent the time together as a family relaxing. Today we went to Sturgeon falls for some poutine, pick up some treats and strawberries. When I woke…
