So, right off the bat, I'm going to talk about how there is only 10 more days till we are on our way home. I'm getting so impatient and it's putting me in a bad mood. I just want to come home. I just want to see our family and friends. I want to meet little Madison. Even though I want to come home, I also know that those 2 weeks are going to be crazy busy and go by super fast. In a way, the anticipation is half the fun. Probably not half the fun because I'm hoping our trip home will be the best time ever.
My day started out crappy. Only 2 things happened that made that so, but still, it wasn't a nice way to start a Tuesday. The first thing was that sweet Kitty decided to use my back as a scratching post, which woke me up. She also decided to sit on my stomach and sleep right in the wrong spot. Once the alarm was turned off, we hoped in the shower, ate some breakfast. That brings me to the second thing that made my morning unpleasant. After I finished brushing my teeth, I went to turn the tap off. It was wet and my finger slipped, and my knuckle started bleeding pretty good. It hurt a lot as there was already a wound there.
I got over that with the help of a hug from Tyler and soon I was at work. My back was still hurting pretty bad so I asked Tyler to make me an appointment at the doctors office. And then I went back to work. Everyone at the office was dragging their feet today. We all didn't sleep well last night. I kept waking up every time I moved. It was a tough long day.
After lunch, I went to my appointment and the doctor said that it was just tight muscles and gave me some muscle relaxing medication. As usual, the doctor didn't really say much except it could be caused by the cold weather, the fact that I haven't worked out since I got this new job. That made me really want to start working out again. I shouldn't be in pain so I'm going to start doing more stuff. Not sure what that looks like but it will happen. I just have to make time for it.
I went back to work and soon the day was over. I walked out of work and Tyler was waiting for me. We were going to go to the cafe to see if there were any Christmas gift ideas. After no success, we went to the band store to pick up tiny oranges. Instead we ran into many other shoppers doing last minute shopping.
We didn't really feel like making a real dinner so we ate some leftover lasagna and sat down to watch the oiler game. And we've been sitting ever since. I stretched out my back and stitched, while Tyler played some games.
I'm going to bed pretty quickly as I'm super tired.
The weather was on and off today. Raining and then not raining. Not that exciting.
Kitty also is a turkey. She has this new habit of running and jumping on the coffee table. She usually slides on all the paper that builds up and it's pretty cute. She also likes to sit on a little table we have beside our little couch, and usually in the morning, we heard the key bowl hitting the floor along with a bunch of other stuff we have there. I love that Kitty.
Keep praying for the grand parental unit and the weather.

11
Monday seemed to come too soon and went by to slow. It started early. We got up and started to get ready for work. We just had regular cereal for breakfast and then it was off to work. It started pretty good. The morning went by pretty quick and then it was lunch time. I had left over tacos for lunch. Sonja came home and joined me at 12. She had hurt the muscles in her back somehow so I tried to rub them better.
I had to go back to work at 12:30 and then the afternoon drug on. It didn't seem too busy. I had a few things to do, but not to much.
I came home at 4 and started to make supper. But first I had to wash the dishes that would be needed. So I did that. Then I started the lasagna. It was delicious. Extra meat, extra sauce and extra cheese. It was really good. After supper we watched Dexter. It was so good. Sonja was hyper-ventilating again. One more episode for them tie up all the loose ends.
After Dexter we played a marathon game of Mario Kart. We played all 32 tracks on it and Sonja ended up winning by 2 points. We are now just relaxing and Sonja is looking for gift ideas for people to get her. Mythbusters is on so I have been watching that.
Sorry the post is so late and short. Only 11 days until we come home. The 14 day trend forecast has sun and cloud for the 17th which is good.

Cat nap
Today was a very nice Sunday. I didn't sleep well as Mrs. Magoo Kitty decided to climc and fall off the dresser several times.
Tyler got out of bed around 8 and I follow at 8:30. It was much earlier then I expected to get out of bed because we didn't go to bed until 1 last night.
And the day was great. I cross-stitched and Tyler played a hunting game on his phone. We watched a few movies on tv while we took it easy. I became super tired from not doing anything all day, and I fell asleep around 3. When I woke up, there was a kitty snuggled up to me and Tyler was taking a picture of us.
Then we ate a dinner of tacos prepared special by Tyler. He makes a good meal. I decided to blog early as I'm likely going to bed early tonight. I'm still tired and I'm hoping Kitty doesn't wake me up to often tonight.
12 more days till we are home. I'm getting so excited that it's driving me crazy how badly I want to be home. I want to meet Madison, hang out with friends and family, and enjoy a white Christmas. There is no snow on the ground out here, just on the mountain tops on the mainland. It doesn't even feel like December to me. I miss december at my home. All the decorations in their spot, the advent calendar missing only a few boxes. Out here, we only have 2 decorations up. One string of Santa clothing, and one string of Mrs. Clause clothing. I guess since out walls are green our entire place is Christmas themed. But I miss the regular decorations I grew up with. Only a few more weeks till we get to come home. Keep praying for good weather.
And for Opa and Oma. I love you guys and think of you every day.

13
Today was a relaxing day. Unfortunately it started too early, and not because of work. The cat was kinda annoying and thats what woke me up at 6. I didn't really get back to sleep even though I tried. I finally got tired of trying and got out of bed around 8:30. Sonja joined me shortly after. She worked on her cross-stitch and I started the shopping list. We have to cut back a bit the next weeks so we don't have a ton of stuff in the fridge when we come home.
We went to the store at 12 because thats what time the flea market was supposed to start. So we went to where it was supposed to be and found that nothing had been set up yet. This didn't surprise me as thats the way it goes around here. So dejected we went to the store to buy our goods. We found everything we needed. We found out that there was a loonie auction/flea market at the church. So we went home to drop of our stuff. We had something to eat and then off to the auction at the church. I don't really understand how it worked as there wasn't much organization. It looked like a big garage sale with door prizes. So we walked the ring and then came home.
We watched some TV and relaxed. Sonja was tired so she went to take a nap at three. She got up at 4 and came and laid with me on the couch. We both fell asleep until 5. We woke up and decided to make supper. I took out some chicken and cooked it up. We had chicken and bacon burgers. They were super good.
Tonight since supper we have played a little bit of Mario Kart and are now watching the Oilers play St. Louis. Still 0-0 near the end of the 2nd. No plans for when the game is over.

Oh 13 days until we come home. It was sunny and gorgeous today, so hoping that it will be the same in 2 weeks.

Finally Friday!
It's finally the best day of the week. Oh how I love Fridays.
Last night was the office Christmas party. I wasn't going to go because Tyler couldn't, and who wants to go to a party without their husband. I was convinced to go and the person who did the convincing didn't even show up. But that's okay. I walked down to the docks in the rain and waited for everyone else to show up under a roof. Soon, one of the cop car pulled up and I jumped in. Most of the people were going to the party on the seabus, as it was on another island, but I like to travel in style. I went to the party on the police boat.
I was a little nervous of the ride for one reason. This past week I have been reading all the old missing person files that have happened around this area. Most of the people who went missing are presumed drowned as their bodies have never been recovered from the water. So with that in mind, I climbed on the boat and was the only one to wear a life jacket.
We pulled up to the house where the party was, and I want to move in there. It was the nicest, coziest palace I've been in for a while. It had the feel of a small cabin but it was pretty much a giant house.
The party was pretty fun. I was the only person who didn't have their spouse there, so it was a little sad for me. The others made it fun though. We played a bunch of games, ate good food and drank some good drinks. There were a lot of laughs and I'm glad I went.
I came home at 1am in the morning. I wasn't so tired but I cuddled into bed beside Tyler. I woke him up by accident. We talked for a little bit and went straight to sleep. Or so I thought. Apparently, I turned on the light in the middle of the night, and then a little while later, I started screaming at someone. I only found out about that this afternoon.
I was told last night that I didn't have to be at work till 1pm. That was nice. I got to sleep in and it was a nice change from waking up at 6:45am. I woke up when Tyler got out of bed. I got out of bed, played DDR, showered, ate something, looked at stuff on the internet and didn't do much else. Tyler came home for lunch and I went off to work.
I typed a few statements and then didn't do much else there either. It was nice to only work a few hours as there wasn't anything happening around that place.
I came home and started doing the pile of dishes. It's always a hassle doing those by yourself, but soon Tyler came and helped finish them with me. We also made a dinner of chicken burgers. It was an alright meal. I'm getting a little sick of those fake chicken burgers. Real chicken is always best, but we didn't thaw any.
And then we did nothing. I have started a new cross-stitch and it's turning out pretty nice. Tyler is still studying for his FAC so we keep pretty busy at night.
I'm excited for the weekend. There is a flea market tomorrow, so who knows what we will find. I'm excited. It should be a fun time.

Also, Opa and Oma still need prayer from as many people who can give it. Thanks every one :)

Cats gone
Well today the kitten left. She ended up stinking up the bathroom in her short time staying here. But now the bathroom is now cleaned up and de-stunk. We are now down to one cat again, which is all I can handle.
Today I woke up around 6 and didn't really sleep to much afterwards. Which is too bad because I get the extra hour and haven't been able to capitalize on it this week. I got up and said good morning to Sonja and got ready for work. I watched the highlights from the Oilers game last night. They won last night which is always nice. I wasn't able to see any of the goals they scored because it was in Montreal so it started when I was still at work and all the other goals they scored we were eating supper. But it looked like it was a good game.
I went to work and found that it was actually busy. I had some x-rays to do and there was lots of blood work to be done. The morning went by pretty quickly because of that. Soon it was lunch and I came home. I had leftover turkey noodle soup for supper. It was alright, but more of a gelatin. It didn't re-liquify no matter how long I microwaved it for. It might work if I add water to it.
The afternoon was the complete opposite as the morning. It was pretty slow but seemed to go by faster than yesterday did. Again the Oilers were playing, this time in Toronto so it was another 4 o'clock start. It wasn't on TV that we get, so I had to keep tabs on the internet.
I came home at 5 and made some popcorn chicken for supper. Sonja is off at her Christmas party, so I am home watching TV. I watched the Oilers highlights from the game. They won 5-0, giving them 3 straight wins for the first time this season.
No plans for me tonight. I will be watching the Office but that is about it.

Good day!
Today was an excellent day. Well, the end of it was the best part, but I'll get to that accordingly.
Kitty came for a morning snuggle again this morning. It's almost like she knows we are leaving in 2 weeks and wants all the time she can get with us. I appreciate it because I love her so much. Tyler hates it because he she isn't his favorite thing to wake up to.
I got out of bed a little before my alarm went off, which never happens. I showered and ate my tastylicious breakfast, Multigrain cheerios. They are just what I need in the mornings.
Once at work, I was looking forward to burning the rest of the purged files. But it was raining. And then it rained some more and a little bit more after that. The only time it didn't rain was when we were all on lunch.
Since there are now 3 office workers, there isn't a ton of work for me to do. The woman I replaced is kind of coming back to work, sort of, but she is still having issues to deal with, so I'm working on all those tasks that no one else wants to do. But, today was pretty boring. I wasn't given a lot of direction so when the other two were off talking, I was reading some police magazines.
And then a little sweetie pie came into the detachment. Two people came into work holding a little kitten. She needed a home just for the night and is getting shipped away tomorrow. She is so cute. Her name is Brand New Kitty. She has the littlest voice and I don't think she normally gets a lot of attention because she already loves me. She lives in the bathroom because regular Kitty doesn't appreciate cute things like I do. Tyler and I gave her a bath so she is all clean but I'm worried about ear mites and other cat problems she might have. So she is spending the evening and night in the bathroom. We turned the heat up and gave her some blankets. I have to change clothes and wash every time I leave the cuddle room. I don't want Kitty to catch anything. Our kitty knows something is up. She is acting like she is neglected but she really isn't. We are giving her extra love to make sure she knows we still love her.
It's been a good day. I have a little kitten in the bathroom who I'm only kind of in love with. I don't think it will be too tough to give her away tomorrow. I have a great husband who let Brand New Kitty have a comfortable sleep tonight.
Keep praying for the weather and for Opa. More so for Opa because its more important that he gets healthier.
I'm the author of todays blog because I've been convinced to attend the detachments Christmas party. I wasn't going to go originally because I don't like going to things without Tyler. He is on call so he can't leave the island. But, I'm going with my co-workers and they are pretty fun.
Any way, I have a kitten to attend to. Kitten orphanage has it's first guest and I want her to have a nice visit.
