How close we are to being together forever. I am so excited, and that is making the stress of tying up loose ends here easier. He is my everything, and I have never been more sure of a decision in my whole life. He is truly the most amazing person I have ever been blessed to meet and I am the happiest I have ever been.

You finally figure out what you need and want in life. You search for it, never really finding that exact fit that's comfortable. Then all of a sudden you realize it's staring you in the face and it's been right in front of you for a while. Amazing how that works.......

Some of my favorite things..
 

Blondes, bikes, beer
(yea, I'm shallow like that).

How much he amazes me more and more with each day that passes. I have been handed a gift from God when he gave me him..and I love him with all that I am

I'm feeling better and looking forward to going back to work....

Hard to believe I miss the place :blink:

No wait I just really miss my comission checks - no workee - no moneeee

sucks that it works like that - but then I'm feeling all caged in anyways now that I can breathe thru one good nostril.

Where's Theo and all his tubes :|

Slight confusion on Universal Health Care "bliss" in Canada....
(maybe a Canadian can help me here..?)

Just to clarify my confusion...

• Canada has Universal Health care or single-payer health care....check

• A patient within Canada (citizen, of course) has the pick of the lot, can visit any Dr., any Hospital within Canada, of their choice..Doesn't matter if private or not, since most Canadians usually have a private insurance provided by Employers to cover the rather few non-medical necessary procedures...Check

• The "small" consequence of Universal Care (in Canada) is a small waiting list depending on urgency of either Visit or Test (MRI, Dental, CT etc....)...Check

• However, many high-quality medical graduates leave Canada...For better paying Careers in the U.S., resulting in a worrisome "brain drain" within.

:blink:

Am I to understand that Universal Health Care (or rather single-payer health care) is a superb "ideal", something I would actually *love* to have within the entire U.S., but because within the Medical field of Canada the paycheck could possibly be shit, based on the "Exodus" of kick-ass Canadian Medical grads to the U.S., Canada has all these benefits...and subpar Doctors?.... :wallbreak:

I'm only curious, and confused.....
so yeah....
That's on my mind this dreary cold friday morning b4 hemoDialysis treatment.

Attention Cat Lovers!
 

Positive life affirming thoughts.....

Ooooh that was funny !!!!

I wish upon a star.....
 

When the workd makes no sense...I BAKE! Hmmmmm Mississippi Mud Cake or Chocolate Fudge Pie?

I just got all choked up

The simple joy of spending time with her... No place to be, no timetable, nothing but us... The simple contentment of a sunday on a saturday...


Throwing on a warm shaw over my dress and walking out barefoot in the cold drizzle to picking blackberries and raspberries.


Remembering to appreciate simple joyful things and life and not obsess over things out of my control...
