Started out this piece last Thursday but obviously got busy and just didn't get back to it until now. I can't really remember to much but a few things worth mentioning. I took both my big bro and his wife out for dinner Thursday night which was really good as I've wanted to do this for them for a very long time now. They both have done so much for me while I've lived here for the last 3 years.
My good friend Janis gave me a practically brand new fan, or at least a hardly ever used one since she has Air Conditioning and I don't and will certainly not have once I return to Ottawa. She also gave me a wonderful letter of reference to take to Ottawa and look for volunteer work there. More clothes and books to keep me entertained for quite a while. I am so grateful to her for being my friend and I will miss her tremendously once I leave here
I met the Neurologist that has taken on my files for the next 6 months or so in case I have an emergency crop up. This makes both me and my brother feel better knowing this is in place. What's really good is this Doctor is going to recommend me back to the Ottawa Neurologist I had for years before moving up here. That's another piece of the puzzle being taken care of before I actually move.
I dropped into the Diabetic clinic and got the name of the Endocrinologist I had in Ottawa. I could not for the life of me remember her name, Dr.Locknan. I will call and see if she will take me back. I hope so and as well get assigned to a new Nurse Educator there as well. I will also enquire as to if a clinic is held at the Queensway Carleton Hospital as that would be the best and closest hospital to where I'll be living.
I began my volunteering earlier in AmCare as it was a going away luncheon for one of the staff. It gave them a chance to all have their lunch together. I left at around 2:30 and came home to spend the rest of the weekend with Rocky
Some time on Saturday I received a very brief msg from Kris. She is slowly improving and able to do some stuff with her son and drive again which was good to hear. She indicated that she had been electronically detached from all communication and that she had chosen to stop communication with me before that. She has noticed that this was what I had been trying to get her to do for me for a very long time. She also indicated that she could not go back to the way things were between us and that she's realized just how destructive this written communication format really is. I told her that I had tried for so long to get her to understand this and that was why I only ever wanted to talk via phone or Skype but she would never commit to some kind of schedule with me about this. Always a sore point with me about this fact. I Agreed with her that I don't ever want that kind of connection to her ever again and maybe as time passes that the occasional call or Skype would be nice to just catch up on each others lives. I'll give this a few months before thinking about maybe requesting a Skype session with her. I know from past experience with her that she would never think of asking me to Skype and I'm not too sure I want to continue a friendship that is so one way, one-sided either. I guess I'll just see what the Universe directs me to do and go from there.
Nothing much but Rocky and me this Sunday which was just fine. His being in my life has not left me feeling lonely nor alone since the day I got him. I am grateful to this little guy for the joy he continually brings me and certainly can deal with his loud meowing ways when he thinks I need to pay more attention to him.
Tomorrow I've been invited to Glen's with Nanny and Grandpa for BBQ Hamburgers so that will be a nice way to end the long weekend. Looking forward to Group on Tuesday and seeing Margo on Wednesday this coming week too
