This week was a brutal one for me.  Lots of drama and heartache; my BFF and I decided that a day of hunting for bargains was definitely in order.  We were carrying on the long proud tradition of shopping until our lower backs were screaming and we couldn’t feel our feet anymore.

The results are in, my adrenal glands are “fatigued” and I am deficient in vitamin D and iron.  This is due to my bout with pneumonia and all the antibiotics I had to take.  My fasting blood glucose is higher than the recommended level of 36 - mine is 52.

In May after my wheezing had not subsided I visited my allergist who [...]

I am reminded every once in a while how brave people can be.  I’m talking about caregivers.  Those who give of themselves, selflessly because they are committed to providing the care and love another person needs when they are sick or injured.
This post has been percolating in my mind all week and just now I’m [...]

Admittedly Canadians are known to be whiners especially about the weather.  It’s either too cold, too rainy, or too hot.  There are a few days most of us consider perfect, low humidity and 80 degrees (or 25 celcius). But seriously this week it was brutally hot and humid (97 with humidity it felt like 107).  [...]
