Oh it took me awhile to find this site. Turns out I did have it in my favs! Duh! Much has happened over this long winter. Which really wasn't as bad here as we expected. Just long like I already said. Toronto and the Mississauga area got it bad this year *evil grin* and it's bitterly cold everywhere. No sign of any buds of flowers showing here. By now in Mississauga I would have tulips popping up along my laneway. Sometimes I miss it there as things here went bad very quickly.
First I fell (on a cement floor) and damaged my foot and ankle really bad. It's still sore and I fear arthritis will be my companion in the future as a result of this. Jack lost his aunt who was also his Godmother, shortly after Xmas. Then Erika got sick (our cat). Her brother Mandy died a week before we moved. Erika went down hill rather fast and no amount of medication could help her. She passed yesterday.
Our new kitten who is a year old now is the now the one and only and will be spoilt to the hilt too.
Jack was diagnosed with diabetes. We are still new to this. He is taking Metformin and monitoring his glucose levels twice a day until we can get to see the specialist in two months. There is a severe shortage of doctors in this town. But the ones we have seen, seem to be pretty good. Not like the idiots we had in Mississauga! Also in two weeks Jack finally gets his cataract surgery done. We waited 3 months to see the specialist and now it is another 3 months til the operation. Now we are counting the weeks. Again there is only one eye specialist here in Cornwall.
We have been to Ottawa at least once a month to see the family and other events. A couple of weeks ago we went to a hockey game (JR) and ironically it was Ottawa against Mississauga! In all the years we lived in Mississauga we never saw our junior team play, we move here and well I guess it was fate. Oh and Mississauga won!
I am still unpacking and arranging and rearranging and rearranging and yes still rearranging Dolton. All the residents are out and sitting where ever there is a spot for them. The Old Dolton took years to grow to this size but here I am trying to fit it all in at once. I'm getting there though.
While we do like it here, it has taken time to adjust. Everything is walking distance (for me) and a few days ago I found a neat bicycle path that runs east to west and probably goes from one end of town to the other. This area is so much like our neighbourhood in Mississauga it's uncanny. But I think I am trying too hard to replicate the past. I need to start fresh and once I realized that, I figured out that is what has been holding me back. So with spring (hopefully) just around the corner (it ain't here yet) I go forth with a keen spirit to see what lies ahead.
