Well here it is a week later, and goodness.. it's me birthday :D

I am not up to much. Maybe feeling a little sad. So much is going on in Kelowna. The fire was quite devastating for so many people.

Devon had his tonsils removed yesterday. He should be out of the hospital by tomorrow. Amber and I went to visit him yesterday afternoon. We were going to leave when I asked Devon if he would be okay until his mom got back, or if he wanted me to stay until she returned. He surprised me by asking me to stay..... now how can you say no to a child in the hospital? So I ended up staying until 8 and caught a ride back with Rog and Cathy, but they had a couple of errands to run which meant that i didn't get home until ater 9.

Was a long day for me... I went to work at 8 and not home until after 9 pm. Wowsers.

I went to the dentist on wednesday, was supposed to have a root canal done, but he changed his mind and worked on the tooth that has been bothering me, my uper right back tooth. It has to have a Cap put on it. Well the dentist took out the old filling and prepped it for the cap and put in a temporary cap. Well by the time the freezing wore off later that day, my tooth was aching so bad that it made me cry. I ended up taking 2 ibuprofens and putting ice on the outside of my cheek. It finally subsided and and promptly went to sleep.

What shoudl I do today? Gonna go into town, stop by the hospital, them probably go play Pia gow.

ttfn.

OMG... that long since I last updated my blog.. oops... did I do that? Sorry.

I kept this updated because it helped me keep in touch with my daughter when she was in Ohio. Now that she is here, I guess I thought that I didnt' need to keep it updated. Sorry, Candice and the rest of you who read this.

OMG talk about scary. The news is telling us that we should prepare for power outages where I LIVE.. FOR GODS SAKE!!!! What is next. It is damn scary. I want to help, how do I help? Was thinking of phoning the fire line and seeing if we can cook food for people. Mind you I dont' have much, but probably more than most have right now.

I can not begin to imagine what it would be like to have to pack up and leave your home, thinking that you might never see everything there ever again!!!

I know I am rambling and being morbid, but.. what the heck.. get it out of the system. It is scary here folks.

more later, if we have power.

smiles, god never gives you more than you can handle.

well.. whoda thunk that it would have been so hard to go with out internet :P. One and a half days without internet. Damn it was hard. I realized how much I use the internet.

There was no looking up interesting things as I thought of them, there were no emails, no msn chats... it was a hard time.

The worst of it was that I didn't have my computer to distract me from my worries about Mom and Ralph. I knew they were on evacuation notice. But then when I tried to call Roberta... the phone kept ringing busy, you know the busy that isn't because of someone on the phone... It was the quick busy signal. Which meant that the lines are down. So, of course it was worry about where they are and how they are doing.

I finally got a phone call from her yesterday saying that they were evacuted on saturday night, at like 230 in the morning, and that they just got to Kamloops sunday morning. They didn't want to stay at the emergency shelter, so were going to phone friends and relatives to see if they could stay there.

I found out that Robert and Jeanetter were evacuated as well.... HOLY COW, will these fires ever go away.

Amber has being telling me about all the storms, rain that they have being getting. Lets cross our fingers and hope that she brings some with her when she gets here on wednesday. Amber said to day "watch me bring the rain with me".... we can hope :D

Well... now that most of the worry is over... Kim and I are going to head to the beach out in summerland, Powell beach.... To e3njoy the sun and clouds :D

OM fricken GOD...... seems that there is a really bad fire going in McClure which has made Barrier evacute. And now Littlefort is on 1 hour evacuation notice.....OMG

Seems that all that is in the news if fire fire. the news was saying that Mt. Paul started on fire this afternoon around 3. Apparently the fire in McClure was caused by someone's cigarette. HONESTLY!! folks can't use the fricken ash tray. Why does this upset me so?

I am concerned about my MOM. Which surprises me, It must be almost time for TOM. Seems when it is time for TOM, anything and everything upsets me....BLAH.

My fricken car cost me 420 bux today. It was still making that strange noise when you went around left corners. Turns out it was the wheel bearings. Plus I got them to change the oil.

Took me an hour and half to run into kelowna to pick up my car and get back to work. :P:P:P

The traffic is fricken unbelievable.

Well, turns out amber doesn't get here until wednesday. Her plane lands here at 5:55 pm. YEAH... I can hardly wait.

well.. off to be bored somewhere else :D
