Maybe with Happy Thanksgiving my Canadian peeps!!
We've had a $hitty week LITERALLY!
Ray's been under the weather ( I thought he was getting fat & lazy), and finally went to a doctor 2 weeks ago.
Apparently, we have about 11 pints of blood at any given time making it's rounds through our bodies.
Ray had 6.8.
3 double (500 mls) blood tranfusions later, and a colonoscopy this past Wednesday, he feels human!
The doctor cauterized a whack of 'bleeders' (?) and Ray will go for a repeat in 2 months.
The surgeon's not sure he got them all.
That might have been where the blood was going.
Which made him really short of breath, and unable to do anything.
He NEVER said anything people....I was just getting more frustrated by the day!
Then our sewer backs up!
Yoi! One of the perks at my job is that we're on the list of many homes every couple years to get it pumped out.
Hahaha, some perk hey!
Anyhoo, the sewer guy was here last week, and he must have knocked the pump over or something...........I have a pair of gloves on the step outside that will probably go in the garbage, and my jeans & coat are in the washer!
Our woodshed is empty, so today Ray went and cut a bunch of trees down & hauled them just behind the cat house.
I was working on cutting them up, hauling them in the handy dandy quad trailer, and putting them in the woodshed.
I got the damn chainsaw stuck, and hurt my back trying to get it out!
I could've cried!
If it snows as early as it did last year, we're screwed!
I came in, had a peanut butter & jam sandwich so I could take a pain killer, turned the dish washer on, and went to my jacuzzi!
Ray went to get the few things on my grocery list, and beer!
Now I'm talking to you, drinking a beverage (Yeah it's alcoholic), and eating popcorn.
I'm sure I just moved funny, and will be back at it (slowly) tomorrow!
Speaking of tomorrow, I'm cooking the turkey!
Vanessa and a couple of her 'homeless' friends are coming, and my friend Peggy from town.
Before I went out to play today, I got 2 (two) Double Layer Pumpkin Pies done.
The Potatoes Extrordinaire, and the sweet potato casserole are done!
The turkey's marinating; I would have had the cranberries done too, but didn't have an orange!
The ingredients are out for stuffing and baked corn..........I'm in business!
Vanessa's bringing buns, the rest will bring wine, it's all good!
I've been working on these for all my peeps!
They have goodies in the middle, and hot chocolate or tea in the other side!
I have 6 more to go!
I AM working on a couple cards for challenges,
and I DID get to Michaels while Ray was in the hospital.
Cause we went to Grande Prairie!
We have camo leaves!
This crane was all by itself one day in a hay field.
Then it took off!
The bridge is DUN!
Shadow approves!
Plumber is coming next week to put heat trace on the water line so I shouldn't have to EVER worry about it! EV-AH!
Unless of course it's leaking, and a guy phoned Wednesday to tell me he fixed it.
I'll have to crawl under there tomorrow or Monday and check,
cause the last time they told me that.
It. Wasn't!
The electrician ordered parts for the wood furnace, so it's not on yet.
Another electrician made up a heat trace for me to put under the skylight so I don't have to clean that off either!
If only I could figure out how to attach it so it'll stay!
So there you have the latest (sort of) from the occasional blogger!
I have been visiting.............
Just haven't had a minute to do my own!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
