Back in the Home and Native Land

And I'm back in Canada! Well I've been here for a week now and it's going along just great! I am freezing though.. despite the fact that there is absolutely nothing that resembles snow around. I'll have to put in my order for a white christmas earlier next year. Ah well.. its nice to breathe clean air and eat good food and be around people who overall speak english as their first language. Its funny cause the busyness of the shopping malls doesn't phase me at all... it all makes sense... it might be crowded but people walk in straight lines....awesome!

So yeah, being home has been a bit strange. Being away for a full year makes it kind of weird at times.. just fitting back in and catching up and figuring out exactly what I've missed. The city doesn't feel all that different.. I think it's just me! But I've been having great times catching up with all my girls! and so that's the important thing!

Today I had a bazillion appointments, and on top of that I found out that I sort of lost my OHIP coverage... oops. So there has been lots of running around. I just feel like I had a million holes poked in me today. Actually its only 4 biopsies, blood work and a chest x-ray but I'll continue to act a bit like a drama queen.. sometimes it works! But now I have had all the appointments I had to go to.. including hair and dentist work! Fun stuff! So unless the biopsies, bloodwork or x-rays show something weird.. I'm in the clear again! And the dermatologist didn't yell at me about my tan lines! Yay! I'm just feeling a little bit cranky cause my stitches kinda hurt... especially the one on my tummy...

BUT I had a great afternoon.. with LT and a big big latte'. We basically got all caught up.. which was great. Funny to talk about old times and we realized that the year we lived together.. was probably the weirdest year of our lives... not cause either one of us is particularly weird (although I'm sure she could vouch that I am) but more about all the strange things that happened to us.. it's all funny now... right?

Ok so I'm off to go pick up my dad and then figure out what to do tonight. Might just be a cozy night in with the family... I did miss those.. so nice to get some and its so rainy and icky out.. its just thee thing!

Alright well if I don't manage to post anything else in the next few days... a Merry Christmas to you!
