Why blog?

Blogs have lost their cool in favor of the 140 character Tweet or Facebook status update.  Three years ago, I had my google-reader all set up for my favorite blogs and I revisited it recently after more than a year long absence.  I was surprised to see even the most prolific of bloggers had less than a hundred new entries.  These folks used to have a new blog post everyday, sometimes more than one.

When my father & stepmother died last year, I spent almost half the year 1200 km from home, cleaning out a 4000 square foot hoarded house.  I'm not a hoarder (yet), but I am a pile-in-the-corner-maker and I'm constantly losing important or interesting things and then finding them 2 months after it was relevant when I finally cleanup my pile. 

I am returning to blogging in the effort to organize my thoughts. Maybe if I put it here, I can resist putting it in the pile eh?

Nursecat

Well, I'm 10 days post-op from my abdominal hysterectomy.  Let's just say, it has been awful.  But my hubby has been wonderful, my kids have been staying off me, and I have a round-the-clock nursecat.  I was only in the hospital a couple days & since I've been home, this kitty has been watching me 24/7.  She actually gets mad at me when I get up to go potty and starts trying to herd me back to bed by nipping at my legs.  She doesn't like me sitting in the recliner either and will poke and peck and pester me until I go back to bed.  How sweet is that? 
So, I'm back to bed. Just following nursecat orders!

Back in Balance

After 3 weeks of awful neck pain, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, etc., I'm feeling much better thanks to Jonathan Dean of Energyandtranquility.com. He offers mobile care in the Edmonton area and so he was able to come to my house and work around my schedule. Very professional and highly recommended!

Benefits of Infant Massage

Here's a great interview of my sis-in-law, Tara Hoger of the Uma Center on the benefits of infant massage: Tara Hoger Interview

Hail Mary, the Sh!t sold!

 

The Montana campground and vacant lot in Billings are sold. 

I have about 6 months of probate paperwork left to do, a few battles with the other heir to wage, but I can manage all that rigamarole from home in Edmonton.  No more traipsing my children across the border to Montana at every turn.

I feel like the anchor around my neck has been lifted.

Life as normal... you can resume now. 

Do you have any anchors around your neck you are ready to be rid of?
