Wha'd up?

Not too much going on again this week.  Our life is consumed with picking a Mexico resort.  We got together last night to pick...and by pick we mean narrowing it down to 2 resorts instead of 5.  We did  decide that we want to fly with Air Transat. 

The two choices in order are:

1-      Sandos Caracol Eco Resort – this one has everything we want and close to Playa Del Carmen.  With Transat it’s a little pricier then Sunwing/Signature.

2-      Grand Palladium Kantenah – cheaper with Transat but it isn't close to Playa and does not offer an “adults only” section or beach club.

We need to be close to Playa Del Carmen because that is where we get our tanning lotion! The only place we can find what we use and for cheap!

In other weekly activities:

Gil is growing up and may need a new bed VERY SOON J

On Saturday Twin 1 tried to find a new trail to take the dogs for a walk and went searching for one in Tantallon.  After driving over logging roads they came to something that “might have been” part of it.  There will be more google searching on this before we venture back out there.  Here are a few pictures of it:

We’ve had some “different” weather this week

This was Saturday morning:

This was Monday afternoon at Long Lake:

Here are Twin 1 puppies waiting for Daddy to get out of the bathroom to play like they do every morning.

 This weekend is Easter.  Doesn't this look like a fun lunch?

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Wha'd up?

39 days till Mexico!!! We have not booked yet but we keep looking at a few of the same resorts that are in budget and also looking at others HOPING they will drop.  We know we want to leave on or around April 24th for 7 days.  That being the case, we could actually wait to the last minute as it's all booked off but we kinda like to plan ahead and know where we are going.  Here is one that is possible but look at all the trees!

Saturday we had our HAIR CUT DAY! and our hairdresser makes excellent Mochas for us.  We have pre-booked all our hair appointments for 2016.

Saturday night we had a game of Monopoly at Twin 1's house.  There was a little arguing as usual and a fun game turned into not so fun. 

Twin 2 found a new way to cook eggs as we were getting tired of hard boiled all the time. These are baked with some cheese added on top.  Crack an egg into a muffin tin and bake for 20 min

Twin 1 scored on the Fish she bought.  Package says 4 fillets....there were 5!!!!

Amoxicillin Trihydrate

Twin 1 is still sick.  She made an appointment with her Dr. but can't get in until March 29/16.  Wiw talked her into going sooner as last year she had a bout of pneumonia so she made an appointment at the Family Focus walk in Clinic for 6pm last night.  They were only 20 min behind schedule which was nothing as her own Dr is usually 2 hours behind schedule.

Its been confirmed that she has a Bronchial Infection which may have turned if she left it too long.  So thank you Wiw.   Last year she had some chalky liquid meds as she couldn't swallow the horse pills they gave her at first so this year she requested the liquid which she chases with White Grape Juice which is delicious!

She was prescribed Amoxicillin Trihydrate which is used for Bronchitis, Pneumonia etc.

She was all prepared to buy the Grape Juice but when she went to give the prescription to the pharmacist they asked her if she wanted Chewables instead.  Chewables?! They make chewables? Yes of course for kids that can't swallow the big pills.  She couldn't pick her flavor as they only have them in a fruity flavor so no Juice was required. 

After waiting 1/2 hour for the prescription to be filled she went and picked it up.  "Are these for you?"  Yes for me and not for kids.   She went home and had some supper and took her first does of the pills.  They are actually really tasty.  She has to take them every 8 hours for 10 days.  so 8pm, 4am, 12pm, 8pm etc.

This morning she was thinking it does not look like there are 60 pills in that bottle so she had to pour them out and double check.  There were 60.  She felt like a drug addict counting out her supply.

After her pills she ate a chocolate bar that she bought from a fundraiser at work and then that evening proceeded to cough so much she threw it up.  $2 down the drain and no bars left and she wanted to take the whole bottle if it meant no more coughing but refrained.

At this point she is still contagious so NO KISSING!

Wha'd Up?

Just a quick little update.

Saturday night Sister Wi and Bro-in-law had a few people over to celebrate Bro-in-law's birthday.  You can tell we are getting old as the party conversation consisted of anxiety, politics, unions and vasectomies.  It was a good time. For realzies.

On Sunday both of our husband's got sick with the flu/cold.  

Us on the other hand felt fine.  We were scheduled for a 7k run and Twin 1 needed to take the dogs out.  We decided to take them to Ashburn so the dogs could run and play while we were running.  It was a little difficult as the course was hilly and we ended up running about 7.5k (with walking breaks of course up the hills) but it was so different and nice running on the grass.  Just like running on clouds.

THEN Twin 1 got sick.
