| Looking forward to a new year. |
In January, January 26th to be exact, I was knocked down with the worst flu of my life. Unfortunately that was just the beginning of the health woes that seemed to follow us as the year went on.
March 21st I fell on the stairs at home and broke my right foot. I was off work for a month and spent my two week May vacation hobbling around in a boot-cast. July 21st Rob fell off the roof at home while cleaning the eavestroughs. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Two broken ribs and off work for 6 weeks. August 4th was the last time Rob's feathered Pigeon buddy, Pierre, visited the backyard. He had been a staple in our backyard for 5 years. August 12th we woke to discover that Misfit, our budgie of almost 10 years had passed during the night. September 18th I was diagnosed with Shingles. December 1st I had a horrible case of food poisoning. *Sigh* See why I am looking forward to the end of this year? I do realize that a lot of these things could of been a lot worse, especially Rob's fall. I am grateful that all the health woes we went through weren't worse.
It wasn't all bad though, there were some good times through-out the year. Like discovering my friend, Andi, was actually my cousin! I had a great getaway weekend with a friend in September, and Rob and I had a great week off in October and again in November. The best event of the year happened over the Christmas holidays though.
For this first time since 1991, my father, brother and I, all spent Christmas together. And it was the first time EVER that my father, brother, and husband were all in the same room!
On Dec. 22nd, my father flew to Toronto from Nova Scotia. The next day, he, Rob and I all flew to Calgary from Toronto to spend 3 nights with my brother and his family. It was a very special and memorable Christmas. The year definitely ended on a high note.
