  1. I've been so busy I forgot to post my weight and exercise on Monday. Had lots of time to get in
    walking this week. On the day of DH's surgery I had two nice long walks with a break of about an
    hour in between. Saturday my parents and I took my son and went to visit DH, then while he was
    having a rest, we left and went mall walking for about 3 hours. Sunday I took Nicholas on two nice
    long walks, one in the morning and one later in the afternoon, with him in his stroller and me
    pushing, lots of it uphill. After all this I was up one pound on Monday morning to 173!

    Weight: 173 Exercise: 5 times

    I'm getting most of my exercise this week scrubbing floors and windows in the new area next to our
    shop. I bet the fellow that was in there before never cleaned a thing in the 10 or so years he was
    there! The place was disgusting!! Took me 3.5 hours to just clean the bathroom and the small storage
    room. I spent most of that time on my knees scrubbing the floor. Today I spent about 3 hours
    removing old vinyl signage from the windows, then scrubbing all the nicotine and dust from them.
    That was alot of work as there are five huge windows and two doors with windows!

  7. Thanks Lee. He phoned last night and said he may be able to come home today or tomorrow! He's
    looking forward to it as he's really getting bored there. Yesterday he repaired the wall clock that
    fell and almost hit his nurse. He spends his life repairing things and building gadgets, so my guess
    is he's really missing work or his workbench in the back room and us too of course!

  9. I'm not worried about the little gain. Just concentrating on my family and business at the moment,
    if I lose next week then I do, if I don't there's always another week to lose. I'm trying my best to
    stay OP, but with all going on in my life some days can be a bit difficult.

  10. Thanks Erin. We have contractors in tomorrow at 8:30 am to start work in the new area. There's
    still lots of stuff to move (maybe twice as we have limited space at the moment). They have work to
    do in both the new area and our old one, so we'll be shuffling stuff around for a week probably.
    It'll be nice to get it all over with. I do still have lots of cleaning to do there also. More
    activity points!

    fell and almost hit his nurse. He spends his life repairing things and building gadgets, so my
    guess is he's really missing work or his workbench in the back room and us too of course!

  16. Actually here in Canada you don't have to pay for your hospital room unless you ask for a private or
    semi-private room and we didn't so it is all covered by our provincial medical plan. He did end up
    in private and semi-private rooms for 6 nights of the 8 he was there and the hospital sent us a bill
    for one of the nights in the private room. I called and told them I wasn't paying for something we
    didn't ask for and that it was the decision of the doctors and nurses to put him there because they
    had no room in the regular ward, so they had no choice but to reverse the invoice. Made my day...

    DH came home today. I had just left for work when he called, so my Grandma called me at work and I
    had to be on the ferry an hour later to go and pick him up. They were in a hurry to get him out,
    he was waiting in the lobby in his hospital nighties when I got there! He got dressed and we were
    out of there!

    A few quick stops in the city, then onto the next ferry for home.
