My Wife’s Day some Odds Ends

Today my Wife had a very good day, we went to Regina (the city) to the Allen Blair Cancer Center (y’all can google the places I mention and locations just so y’all know everything is on the up & up) the reason it was a good day for her is the simple fact that she didn’t require any oxygen! ALL DAY! and so far none tonight either, add to that the fact that she hasn’t taken any pain medication (Morphine & Oxycodone) for 2 days now, those 2 actions are the equivalent to miraculous ! so yeah I am a happy Butch , my wife is coherent and able to converse and make decisions without assistance, add to that the fact that I shipped our son “Hammy” off to Prince Albert (Saskatchewan) for 3 days, which means I have my Wife to myself (to talk with and cuddle) for tonight at least makes me very happy.

She also got a very nice hair piece (wig) today as roughly 80% of her own hair has fallen out due to chemo, not that I think she needs a wig, she is as equally beautiful without hair as she is with hair. The hair piece she chose is reddish brown, it’s about shoulder length, very stylish and makes her look about 10 years younger, she also has a couple turbans and do rags as well as a funky sun hat for when she doesn’t feel like wearing her new hair, such as when she is in the cancer center having chemo, she will just use a do rag or turban, to me it matters not because she is so beautiful no matter what she does, then again I am wise enough to know her hair meant a lot to her on a personal level, more so than I can understand as my hair is always short, during the summer I often sport a flat top, but my wife has always has long beautiful hair, I think it was some sacred part of her femininity, it is a part that I will never fully understand but can and do respect and appreciate.

She goes for chemo tomorrow, so I will have the house to myself for a few days, I will split my time between home and being at the cancer center at her side , I have a few home upgrades to get done before my wife gets back home, a surprise for her, she likes surprises. To get everything done I have recruited my good friend Wayne, he is a jack of all trades master of none, and I think between the two of us we can install a new toilet and put in new kitchen taps and faucets , I am rather sad to see the old Fergus commode go, but it’s old, loud and makes the pipes rattle with every flush and uses quite a lot of water (around 12 liters if not more), have to say though I am fairly certain that the old commode could flush a basket ball if the pipe was large enough, that sucker has some serious oomph to it!

The new commode is a top of the line Crane ,dual flush, padded seat, has 6 liter tank so my water bill should drop by about $40 or so (we get billed every 3 months, not monthly like the cities) I call it the magical commode , why? because our kid will be in the washroom pushing the damn buttons for an hour or so, I shudder to think what he has crammed down the old Fergus.

I am also putting in a new sink faucet and taps in the kitchen , but keeping the old deep sinks, mixing the old with the new adds our own flair on the house, being that our house is over 100 years old we are very careful not to demo and reno so much that the house loses the simple rustic charm that brought us here in the first place. We generally don’t upgrade unless it is absolutely needed or we have no choice as parts are often impossible to find as they just don’t make them anymore, such as the commode upgrade, I defy anyone to find any parts for a Fergus commode in any hardware store, or find seals and gaskets for a 50+ year old faucet and tap assembly, good luck on that. I know I have checked in 3 friggin provinces for parts, even put an add on Kijiji looking for parts.

My wife thinks I am joking, but I seriously am going to repurpose the old commode and turn it into a giant flower pot and set it smack in the middle of our lawn this summer! and yes I will post pictures.

guess that’s it for tonight, thanks for fallowing me and reading my blog, remember folks, express your love often to those you hold dear to you, and never take tomorrow for granted.

Some strange things are happening since I quit smoking

Okay so I am a new ex smoker , I’m only 15 days into this and I did not go “cold turkey”( I’d have killed someone had I tried that route), I’m using Champix to quit and it is working really good, how ever there are some side effects that I have been experiencing.

Vivid strange dreams, such as being in a city somewhere in the USA chasing someone and jumping from train to train only to lose them in an old building. – I don’t know why I was chasing them but I was hell bent on catching them! and why a city in the USA?? I’m a country bumpkin from Canada!

The Screaming Shit Weasels (the runs) a not to fun side effect of Champix, those I think are gone since yesterday (Thank God!!) my poor arse couldn’t take much more of that abuse! everything I ate within the first 13 days turned instantly into Super High Octane Anal Rocket Fuel! ( mental note to self, lay off the chili peppers when dealing with shit weasels and get familiar with the song Ring of Fire)!!

I also walked around freezing and roasting to death for the first 12 days, very much like being in the throes of menopause, it wasn’t very pleasant and I now have a healthy respect for the ladies who suffer hot flashes and bouts of freezing on a regular basis, I barely survived 12 days, I can’t fathom experiencing that for years at a time.

Now after 15 days I am actually starting to feel a bit different, for starters I have more energy, in fact for the first time in forever I have had energy to spare, it feels good to not be so easily tired , I can do more with my time , how ever I do still have my mid afternoon snooze , though they are starting to be more of power naps than actual snoozes.

My sense of smell is a tad weird now, I can smell a lot better, but I also smell things that just can not be, such as tonight I came home from a walk around the village and to me my house smelled like a Brewery, I could smell beer ! there is no beer in my house.
I get phantom smells , but my sense of smell is getting sharper, I can smell smoke on other people, and quite frankly, it’s not very pleasant to me.

My sense of Taste is really messed up too, Now I must state for the record I am a Meatasaurus (Carnivore) , I love MEAT and have meat with every meal, not always store bought either, I also hunt and fish, there is deer, elk, moose and various fresh water fish and fowl in my deep freeze, I make NO apologies for my love of meat nor for the fact that I hunt either, to each their own.
The point of this is, tonight I BBQ’ed up beef steaks for myself and my family, I cooked them to perfection, they were seasoned just right and were ohhh so tender and juicy, I swear I have never grilled so good in my life as I did tonight, it would have made Bobby Flay proud for sure…. just one teensy tiny problem…..

I took two bites and damn near upchucked! to me it was the foulest tasting hunk of meat I have ever eaten! I asked my wife and our son if it tasted “off” to them? NOPE they were eating it up like there was no tomorrow, so I tried again, nada I actually gagged.. WTF!!!?? I couldn’t eat my beloved steak!! I ate the fried Polenta and sweet potatoes , the green beans (my fav) and the purple carrots just fine, but no matter how hard I tried I just could not eat my steak!! our dog Memphis ate good tonight, he got a $15 steak supper!!

Eggs are another thing I can’t eat right now, to me they taste god aweful, and just 4 days ago I was enjoying a 6 egg omelette, Orange juice is out too (and I love orange juice) it’s too acidy and leaves a bad after taste.

I hope my taste buds settle down and smarten up because I’d rather die than give up eating meat and eggs !!

Anyway that’s it for tonight, remember folks, express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others

‘Tis Thanksgiving here in Canada so here are some of my fav freebies

So today is Turkey day here in Canukistan (Canada) but we actually celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday due to conflicting family obligations, my baby sister moved to the city , my Mother lives 4.5 hours away, some family were stopping in from Alberta , the long and the short of it is our Thanksgiving dinner was a success, 2 – 18 pound turkeys roasted to perfection fed everyone and left me in a Turkey coma for a couple hours after dinner.

So today I have just been relaxing and down loading music, I found a great FREE music download site called MP3Skull : it’s free and again worth checking out if you’re a music junkie like me.

To keep my pc/laptop running virus free I also turned to a free program , again why pay for it if you can get it for free? .. now there are many great antivirus programs such as Panda or Avast, but I prefer AVG , it’s very user friendly and requires no manual set up (though that is also an option) and is customizable, http://www.avg.com or http://www.avg.org , go for the 2015 free version (that way you don’t have to do a massive update in the new year) the free version provides full protection except for a firewall , most computers will be running their O/S firewall anyway.

If you have avg free and are still worried about trojans and spyware/malware you can also download Spybot , just remember running 2 antivirus programs can cause conflicts as they will often interfere with each other , but here is the free spybot link anyway http://www.spybot.com , but honestly if you’re using AVG (free or otherwise) you won’t need spybot or any other program.

So there you have it, some of my favorite links to my favorite freebies, I will post more as I find them and thoroughly check them out, I am NOT a computer guru so the programs and sites I use have to be idiot proof , if they pass the idiot proof test I’ll post them here.

Remember folks : express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others.

"> http://www.mp3skull.com , I’d recommend playing the song before downloading to make sure it is the version you want, I also use itunes but I figure why pay when I can get it for free? They have a lot of old music (classic rock etc) as well as current music, well worth checking out.

I disabled my windows music player (sorry microsoft but your music player sucks), I have been a WinAmp user for well over a decade, WinAmp is totally customizable, has over 500 skins, and the visualizations (fractal art ) are amazing, but that aside for me the best thing about WinAmp is the Equalizer and sound quality , it is second to none (blows the itunes player off the planet too) http://www.winamp.com it’s free and again worth checking out if you’re a music junkie like me.
