Surgery

Today is going to be a long day. Tomorrow morning I am schedule to go in for a colonscopy and a gastrocopy. Today, I need to clear out my system so I'm not allowed to eat or drink coffee and need to drink 500ml of clear fluid every hour. Yesterday, I could only eat steamed fish and boiled eggs. I'm very hungry! I will spare you any details but lets just say its not going to be pleasant! It may be unpleasant, but it's important to take care of my health and have these things done. There is nothing wrong me with that I know of, but they will check for polyps and do a scraping to test for celiac disease. It's more of a precautionary procedure. It will be more first time going 'under' so I'm a bit nervous but the procedure only lasts an hour and I will be home in the afternoon. I also have a good husband to take care of me :) I'm off to drink some juice and watch movies all day on the couch. Have a wonderful weekend!

Ocean Track

Today Barney and I decided to leave the dog at home and do a bit of exploring around the area. This is something we enjoy doing and it's been a while so off we went.

Today we went to Mt Tomaree, our local 'mountain'. Instead of doing the summit (which takes about 15-20 minutes from the bottom), we decided to go around the side on the Ocean Track which is usually only used by fisherman.

We followed the path part way, then Barney took us off the path. Well, he thought it was the correct path but we later discovered otherwise. We ended up back on the right path and made it around to the otherside of the mountain.

It was beautiful and peaceful, with just boats passing us by and no one else in sight. It took us nearly 2 hours, with a break, but Im sure it could be done in about 45 minutes or less if we knew where we were going first. Oh well, it was fun to explore and we found a new area! Nex time I think I'll pack a picnic.

We finished off by heading to a cafe for lunch and a drink. We sat in the beautiful sunshine and enjoyed our lunch. Even better, our lunch was free because we had a gift certificate :)

I feel like I have so much more to share about whats going on around these parts but that will wait for another day! Another day hopefully soon and not 2 months from now like my last post. Oops! Have a good week! Its supposed to hit the mid 30's this week and its only the first half of spring... Its going to be a long, hot summer.
