Working - baking

I'm done with subbing until after Christmas. I have a term until them but I'm hoping it gets extended. I'll just have to wait and see. Each weekend I have been doing some baking to get ready for Christmas. It's too much to do it all in one day so that's why I've decided to spread it out. Cause really. Why does everything have to be done the same day? So far I have made about 7 dozen shortbread cookies, 5 dozen pumpkin tarts and 5 dozen butter tarts. all are tucked safely into the freezer (except for the bunch of pumpkin tarts we ate for supper.) Yes, that's right. Pumpkin tarts were the main meal in tonight's supper. Now if I can just be as on top of the Christmas shopping I'd be doing ok. The tree is up though and there is 2 wrapped presents under the tree but that's it. There is only 1 more present to wrap.

Subbing

I have been subbing at the school so much lately. This is my second full week working in the 4/5 classroom and I'm loving it. Other than when I'm getting tired my legs feel week, I've been doing pretty good. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to handle do more than a couple days a week but so far so good. Have to say though that last week was only 4 days and so is this week. Shh. I really hope I get the job for the one I'm subbing for but they are taking their time that I'm thinking my chances are getting lower and lower :( But I will keep you posted on any new developments.

Friends!

Last weekend and the week have been fantastic. Saturday was spent with friends. Starting off with breakfast then to the Farmer's Market with some girl friends then a bbq with us and their families foolowed by a fire and some drinks. During the week was pretty busy. Shopping and just generally hang out all week. I love my friends so much. They don't feel the need to constantly ask how everything is doing. They know that I will go to them when I need to talk. Family tend s to feel like they need to always ask but friends just know what you need! This was a quiet weekend with just a surprise party for a friend from elementary school and tea at another friends house. You give me tea and I'll be there!

Heat Sucks

For some one who loves being outside in the sun and being warm, this is a new feeling for me. I need to stay cool otherwise it can bring on an "episode" or just make me feel like crap. Which is how I've felt for the past 2 days. I've been light headed and just feel like I'm starving but the thought of eating is yuck. Being at Christy's and Zellers makes it all better. Teach me to not listen to Jay years ago and get central air. Hopefully by next summer we will have it. Today is such a better day. It was col and coudy this morning and all the windpws got open and it's lunchtime but still nice in here even though the sun has come out. Oh central air please don't be so expensive!

Just a little sore

It's been 2 day's since my "episode" and other that being a bt stiff and sore in my left leg I think it's doing well. I've been stiff from working out before but never like this. I get having my muscles sore that you use when working out but the very top of my leg, close to the inner high thigh is the part thats stiff. Which to me is very weird! Walking has become easier throughout the day. The stiffnesss has been slowly going away but walking down stairs is a little hard. I guess not hard just stiff. The next few days are suppose to be very warm again so I have to make sure I stay cool. Which I have to say os very hard to do when you don't have air conditioning in your house. But with all the ceiling fans we have it isn't impossible just a little more work.

That Sucked

Jay and I walked to Superstore tonight, then I cried half way home. Left leg was just doing what it wanted. Jay just kept slowing us down until it was better but it wasn't coming off the ground prperly and the toe of my runner kept hitting the ground first. That was a horrible walk. I know it had everything to do with the fact that last night I fell asleep around 11:30 then woke up at 1:00 but then could not fall back asleep until 6:00 this morning. Then I slept till just after 10:00. From what I had been reading; being stressed, over hot and tired and triggers that I need to make sure doesn't happen. But how am I suppose to not be tired if I can't fall back asleep after I wake up in the middle of the night?? Guess that's something I will have to bring up when I finally get an appointment to see the neurologists. I really hope tonight is a good sleep night. Should be if it's going down to 6 degrees tonight. It will be so nice with the window open.

Just a Little Freaked Out

Got your cup of tea? I have mine. August 8, 2012 i think my life has completely changed. That was the day that I was diagnosed with MS. For 2 day I was in a daze. I didn't want to talk about it with anyone yet the few people that knew, that's all they seemed to want to talk about. I've come to terms with it now but it's still scary cause I don't really know what to expect. I don't want to read too much about it until I finally get my appointment to see the specialists at the Health Science Centre. But at the same time I want to know what I should be asking them. The few people that I have told have been so supportive. I just love them so much. The one person that I'm not sure about is my husband. I'm not sure if he completely grasps what this is or not. I think that he will find the natural remedy and it will go away. He's the guy that thinks everything has a natural cure and you just have to find it. Believe me. I really wish that were true. And if he wants to research everything he can and find if for my, I will take it! So far my left leg hasn't competely agreed with me twice and both time it was walking home from Dance dance Party Party (an evening of dancing at the Community Center) and just being tired more often. If that's all this is I think I can handle it but I really don't think I can be that lucky. I think I will use this as a vent and a place to keep track of what's going on. And if you happen to read this and didn't know, please don't go blabbing. I really don't need a lot of people knowing. I'm not sure how this is going to affect me and getting terms for work. Like I said, I don't know what to expect out of this so I don't know what will happen at work. I'm on my feet all day and working with kids.
