Although it was cool, especially with that wind, it was a lovely day today. I did a lot of walking this afternoon. It was nice to get out and explore the neighbourhood a bit too. Lots of houses springing up for sale. But then that is norm for spring time anywhere. Prices haven't gone up much around here since last year. Jack's youngest brother and his wife are looking to move here. It will be nice to have family close. And he is the one brother that we don't see much of because of where he lives.
I can see a few tulips popping up that I brought with me from Mississauga. Some mums survived too and a couple of hens and chicks. Both of which are periennial and will spread like weeds. That's what I want, to fill up the front garden. I only managed to clean up half of it last fall when we moved here. Between the lateness of the season and my fall I wasn't able to get much done. But it's gotten cold once again so unless it warms up I won't be spending much time standing in the cold earth. My ankle hurts like hell if I do that. I am sure I will have arthritis there down the road. I still have some anti-inflammatory pills to take when the ankle hurts and I only needed it once this week when I was moving those bricks in the back yard. It was warm work but you forget the ground is still cold yet and that travels through your footwear into your bones. So anymore garden work can wait until I'm sure it's warm enough.
Next week I am going to be busy enough as Monday Jack goes for his cataract surgery. He is having both eyes done at once so he will be quite helpless for awhile. He is not allowed to bend over for a couple of weeks and must wear dark glasses 24 hours a day. Yes even to bed and he must sleep on his back. Oh no, many sleepless nights of snoring to contend with LOL He also is not allowed to lift anything for 6 weeks. I wish he could have had this operation during the winter while we were sitting on our butts watch tv. Now that we have so much garden work to do he won't be able to do it and I know it will frustrate him terribly. He has been itching to get back to building his workshop in part of the garage and now he won't be allowed to it.
He has finally got an appointment for the ultrasound to check on his breathing. But we are still waiting for an appointment with the specialist for his diabetes. Our national drug store chain has councilling on diabetes and we signed up for that. I wish our damn politicians had to wait like normal citizens do for health care. Maybe then they would do something about it instead of talking bullshit! Well I'm not going to get into politics on this site, it's not the place!
Anyway it's Friday night. I have music blaring and hopefully the Doltonites are enjoying it too. Maybe they are dancing somewhere behind all those boxes that I have not yet unpacked. I'm going to check. T.G.I.F. everybody.
