Late night peas or early morning peas

9 am here. The kids are at school, the sun is shining (after three days of really nasty weather) and I'm trying to decide if I should go for a walk now or hem a dress I'm currently making. But first I'm going to check the news, there is a flood in another part of the country (several homes have been lost, apparently it's the worst flood in that area for 200 years) and for a week the entire country has been waiting for a large rockslide to happen. The question is if it will be a large rockslide (100 000 cubic meters) or a giant rockslide (12 000 000 cubic meters), either way, homes will be lost.

Having a second cup of tea and putting off the morning chores before going to get ready to go and help a friend in her newly opened shop for a few hours.

My son had major back surgery yesterday. I went to bed last night exhausted, fell into the sleep of the dead, and woke up at 5 am (EST) wide awake thinking about him. Now, here I am, coffee cup in hand and worrying about his pain level.

I had back surgery 10 years ago and the pain from the surgery was nothing in comparison from the pain I had before surgery. Most of the discomfort was from the incision. Hope the same is true for your son.

Hope your son had a much more comfortable night than you are imagining and that he has a swift recovery and is back on his feet soon.

I might have missed an update post but was wondering how you're feeling, and if you ever received definitive answers about the dizziness.  I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks for asking!! I'm still experiencing vertigo but not as bad. I've gone in for even more tests and had an ENG done. The doctor says it's BPPV and it'll go away on its own eventually. Right now I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't get worse. I may get it checked out again when I go to the U.S. in the summer. I don't know. It's a pain but it could be worse.

ExpatBackHome  Oh gosh, that move must have meant major changes for you, including climate!  I guess you must have had to stock up fast on sweaters and now be thinking of snow boots!  

7am in Alberta and I'm drinking my latte. My 22y son with autism has recently been diagnosed with psychosis. He wakes up yelling and hitting the wall around 6:30 because his medication has worn off. His bedroom is next to mine so when he wakes I wake.

Thank you. It's been very stressful. He has only been on his medication a month so things are still really unstable. I think his psychosis has to do with my dad's death in May. We had to stop watching the news because the Ottawa terrorist shooting sent him spiralling.

Two weeks ago I bought a few winter outfits but still need a heavy winter coat, warm boots, scarf, hat etc. I'm pretty much starting from scratch!
