Check In March 2023

I can't believe it's been 2 years since my last update...

Hubby is still working. He's liking the company and they seem to be liking him too so all good there.

My son did move into his own apartment. It actually went really well and despite my reservations he maintained stability and didn't wreck the joint. ;) He did give his notice and moved out the end of last month. He went from working 3 days a week to 5 days which in hindsight was too much for him. It's hard to work 10-12 hours a day and be on medications that require a lot of sleep time. The company he worked for moved locations so he was unable to keep going. In between that he hurt his back and knee... Now that was a bit of a shit show...

I'm not usually one to email MPs however I did... My son knee was obviously infected so I took him to the ER. This nicest thing I can say is that was useless. He left there without treatment. Thank goodness for a doctor at a walk-in clinic who did treat him. She also wanted him to go back to the ER... He did not and I can't blame him. Basically 12 hour wait times to even be seen by a doctor.

We have all these plandemic mandates... I'm sure that statement makes it pretty clear where I stand on most of it. Enter the ER and the first thing we get asked is if we are vaccinated. Ok. Didn't ask our names or why we were there. Vaccinated and unvaccinated were treated the same and handed a mask. So why ask? In the 20 minutes that I stayed there and watched about 20 masks get handed out, can you guess how many were actually wearing the mask properly? I'm sorry but they do no good hugging your chin or hanging off your ear. So me who is tired of all the plandemic theatre was one of the few wearing it properly.

Dealing with the system recently has been difficult. The program that he was involved with decided that he was no longer in need. In closing his file that meant he no longer had access to his psychiatrist. That little tidbit was found out when I tried to get through to the psychiatrist to leave a message. The program itself didn't bother to tell my son that he had lost his psychiatrist. That turned into another drawn out scenario of my trying to get the local MLA involved. Not sure it did much good as well privacy laws have and always well be way more important that actually doing anyone any good. The program did send his file off to a doctor in another city that he hasn't dealt with in years without confirming that it was in fact my son's doctor. At this point, thankful that he has a doctor at all as at this point they are getting harder and harder to find. This one says he is capable of overseeing the clozapine requirements and writing prescriptions so that is a win win for now.

I've been keeping busy. Pretty busy actually. About a year and half ago, I became the manager of the park that I live in. Most days are good. Some days... Let's just say that I have learned way more than I ever thought that I would about pumps, plumbing, electrical, by-laws and whatever else. Physically I'm probably healthier than even have been. I do a lot of walking and landscaping. I have an ongoing war with blackberry bushes. I have every intention of winning! So looking forward to nicer weather again.

Snow! Like most, I'm totally done with it! I'm sure some are still loving it... Time to let it go until next year! Global warming my ass!

As for what has been happening in the world this last couple of years... I cannot fathom most of it most days. It has opened my eyes to a lot. So yeah, now I'm one those anti-vax, racist, non-conforming Canadians that love my country and is ashamed of it's government. The upside... I'm healthy. Not afraid of... I won't say much else. If this gets censored like my Facebook, I'd be risking losing my blog.

The grandkids are growing and are doing great. I love hearing my granddaughter call me grammie or gammie. They along with their parental figures are most likely moving to Alberta. Can't say I blame them. Yes, I also support Smith! She rocks! I will follow when Yehovah (God) gives me the green light to go too.

Until next time...
