The plans

Well, here I am at vacation week. Day one - awake at 0530, crawled out of bed at 0600 and decided to start the day. Here are the plans for vacation week:

Saturday: Finish decorating the house, do a Partylite show at 2pm, clean
Sunday: Partylite Open House, work on courses
Monday: Catch up on courses, maybe bake
Tuesday: Go to Victoria to meet with my trainer to get hooked up to my insulin pump
Wednesday: Dad and I go Christmas shopping, just the two of us. Our annual tradition, he usually buys breakfast!
Thursday: Catch up on courses, again maybe bake
Friday: Continue with courses, Central Care Home Management Christmas party in Victoria
Saturday: relax!!!!
Sunday: Repeat Saturday.
Monday: Back to work, boo hoo.

I am sure my plans will be altered, but here's hoping for the best!

Seems like forever...

It has been many weeks since my last post and quite honestly not all my fault. Haha. I tried blogging about two weeks ago and for some reason it would not post and I got frustrated and gave up. So here I am back to try again!

Work is still going fairly well. Some minor struggles, but getting through them. I finally feel that I have my office set up in a way that works for me. Yes, I have my own office at work. I have never had that! What a luxury.

I am hoping to be starting on the insulin pump in the next two weeks. I had an appointment with my endocrinologist a couple weeks back and he stated that if I wanted to have a baby the best thing would be get on an insulin pump as that currently gives the best control with blood sugars. I was against the pump for many years because I didn't want to be attached to a machine everywhere I went. So, I have put my selfish thoughts aside and decided that this is the best option, at least for now. So I have the pump sitting in a box and waiting for my trainer and I go have a day that we can meet. Hopefully, next week!

Geoff and I are planning (at least this week) to move the Victoria for the 1st of February and probably renting. It doesn't look like we will be able to buy a place for awhile, so renting in Vic seems like the next best option. That is our plan for now, although that can definately change. We hope to make a final decision by the 2nd week of December, so that we can give our current landlord as much notice as possible. Geoff thought we might like to move January 1st, I said no way!!! Too much going on then.

Geoff is just finishing up his last few weeks of his undergraduate degree and then he will have his Bachelor's. Hallelujah, that will be done! He then hopes to take a couple of courses at UVIC in January. They are pre-reqs for the summer Master's program at UVIC. He has made a decision (at least for this week) to try to get into the Summer program. It is a 6 week program during the summer months and then he would be doing some projects during the 'off' time. He would be done in 3 years. He is hoping to find some kind of work in Victoria with his degree, so we are trying to think positive thoughts in that area.

I have started a total of 3 courses in my Health Care admin program, I think I am a little crazy! It is a lot of work, but I do love the pressure.

I have a weeks vacation starting December 1st. So looking forward to that and not having to commute and getting to sleep in if I like!

Well, that's all I can think of for now. Will post more as the Christmas season gets ever close. Yeah! I love this time of year!
