Bandaids & Bats in the Belfry

posted in: Uncategorized 5


Tabitha after her piano concert. She played flawlessly.
Tabitha walking back to her seat after playing. Note the bandaids on her forearm (yellow and blue). Those bandaids caused a horrible allergic reaction and her skin literally peeled away underneath them leaving a raw, weeping wound on her arm! I was very cross at her–she’d put the bandaids on herself days ago secretly to “doctor” a tiny little scrape.
Tabs in concert.
Tabs and her teacher Marla with all Marla’s students. (looks like The Sound of Music cast!)
I am off to the park with Pip in a moment and then we pick up the Tabs after her last day of grade 3! She loves grade 3 and will miss Mr. Recsky a lot.
Cleaning my home, organizing–the break between classes is vital to running this home.
Silver didn’t pee yesterday! Perhaps he will adjust to his new home downstairs–I force him on our outside balcony each morning for several hours each day–the contrast (I hope) keeps him sane.
My Fernando is loved in Nelson. He still has a few personality glitches to overcome: barking and fear of strangers (even those he’s met before!).
Peter picks up Mist from Nelson on Saturday and brings her home. Theresa is off to New York for 2 weeks for a writing workshop–so great.
Miranda and her girls arrive Saturday afternoon from Montreal. Their house won’t be ready until Wednesday so they’ll stay with us. The girls are so excited!
John is driving from Toronto as I write this. I guess he’ll arrive in Kelowna on Sunday evening? Just don’t pull any all nighters–John–Peter tried that trip may times and reported seeing “bats” flying all around, inside his car as he drove–sleep exhaustion will play tricks with your brain!
Felt tired the past few days–why? I do not know. Disappointed in my gym–they cancelled the 6 AM spin classes and the only ones they offer now are lame! They do 20 minutes of spin and cut out for “strength” exercises. Yuck! I lift weights in the gym, I don’t want strength exercises–I want cardio! I wrote the manager a note requesting more cardio.

    Tabi looks adorable! She’s a talanted little piano player.
    Sounds like you have a very busy week coming up!

    MJ: it’s summer. Workouts should entail lifting the wheat beer with lemon to your lips and swallowing. Then gently place the sweaty bottle on the table.

    And BTW, Yianni is GREEK, so he wont be seeing Kelowna before Thursday, Wednesday tops.

    Who is this beer drinking girl?
    What is so different about being Greek? Does it mean he stops every few hours for a siesta?
