One month ago I did the Terry Fox Marathon and lost approx. 10 pounds along the way:)-better news is it's still coming off and I have hips again

Karma or Schadenfreude?

Fixed up a load of medical appointmentds in the last two days.
First aranged to have my blood taken locally so I don't have to go all the way to Luton and back this afternoon - yay!
After that I have four different appointments booked. Appointments coming out my hoo-hah, excepting none are about my hoo-haa, thank goodness.

One is to have my contraceptive implant replaced though. TMI?

Yeah. Specially since you said it twice! lol

Damn, and too late to amend or delete to make you look silly.

My daughter needed a specific graphing calculator for school. They cost around $130-$140.

I got one on Ebay for $66 including shipping, and it's in good shape and works perfectly. It's even a good color.

$66 is more than I wanted to pay for a school supply, but it's a hell of a lot better than $140.

I read somewhere that this graphing calculator has a faster processor than the computer on the first space shuttle.

Heh... graphing calculators are way more powerful than most teachers realize. In my high school calculus class, we created a handful of programs to do things like solve the quadratic equation for us, just to save time. The teacher wasn't a complete idiot; before every test he would go to each desk and personally clear the memory of each calculator.

What he didn't realize was that you could reassign even the basic programs that came with the calculator. You could, in fact, write a program which simply displayed "Memory Cleared" on the screen when the appropriate menu item was selected, only without the actual deleting of anything.

Then again, maybe he did know that, and just figured that if we were smart enough to program such a thing, we didn't really need to worry about his class anyway.

It's complicated! I wanted to see it work, so I figured an easy one would be x squared = Y. But I had no idea how to enter that. It even took my daughter about half an hour so show me that feature.

I saw somewhere that you can get simple games for it.

If I had the desire and time, I bet there's a lot I could learn about what it will do.

My friend's mom just gifted me a set of snow tires as a bribe for a short stint of house sitting/cat watering.

Hells yeah.

Nice!

Haha cat watering ...

That could so easily be Diz!
Except if he loved water like that I'd be able deal with Mr Poopy Tail softly and gently. He is very very wary of my trying to clean his fur right now because his actual parts are sore and swollen.

Which is not making me happy at all. Neither is the 24 hour fast he is on.
Quick, think of something happy...

I have beans in soak for a cassoulet tonight.

I just got my dream job! After being off work for 9 months, with a bad hip, I just got a job where I can sit, or stand when needed! I am now the Esthetics instructor for the MC College- Vernon Campus!!!! I am a teacher, in the field I absolutely love.
I go in on Tuesday to sign a contract, and do my orientation. The pay is enough to get us out of the very large hole we are in, in just a few months, and will allow us to be able to replace our leaky roof by June. After that... who knows!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

:celebrat:

That is very good news!

Congratulations, Jaydaan! Very happy for you!
