Tonight I'm getting excited....
I'm, shall we say, "hungry for change" :)
I'd actually like to link the YouTube trailer of this documentary, but I'm having a little technical difficulties doing that through this phone app.
But if you can put a little effort into looking it up, it is well worth it, I promise.
...and I never promise things lightly.
It has gotten me exited I want to share this doc with everyone I care about !
Those that are in my life of course... Cause lately, I'm just not seeing the point in chasing those that choose not to be.
C'est la vie! Oui? Oui! :)

Chill'ay day
According to my digestive tract, it was an interesting day today. Something tells me tomorrow will be just as interesting.
Have you ever steamed a lot of veggies and realized that you steamed waaaay too much for that meal... Or even that day?
Left over steamed carrots and broccoli are just gross. How can a side dish taste so good, only to also taste so bad in just a few hours. Totally in edible. I know, cause I tried. Bleh.
..... Until now! Yesterday night I decided to purée that stuff into a wonderful cream of broccoli and carrot soup! And add some bacon = yummay for ma' tummay! (Actually bacon added to anything makes it taste oh so good).
I had a bit left over for tonight too but I kinda burnt it while making some chilli ( chilli for the first time I may add... Ya gotta brush up on my multitasking).
But even kinda burnt, the broccoli carrot and bacon soup still smelt so good :) ( I'll add here that I also added some cream and flour and Parmesan cheese - just for future reference).

*dry heaves!!*
So lately I haven't been getting much exercise. I've been blaming it on a bad hip that even got irritated with hot yoga ( damn pigeon position).
So a friend I mine mentioned stair walking. I've tried the whole gym regimen and its not for me. There's something about seeing immediate purpose than just staying in one spot watching a screen or the wall or the other fit bods and wishing I looked like them. I rather exercise while doing something like a sport or an activity or going from point A to point B for a reason.
The other day I decided to get out of the elevator onto the 7th floor of my building and walk up to my floor. Seemed pretty easy to me.
So today I decided to start from the first floor.
.... I ended up outside. Brrrr!
Ok, there is no access from the first floor into the stairwell.
Lets try this again.
2nd floor
....
By the 7th floor I was breathing heavy.
....
8th floor .... Is there enough ventilation in the stairwell ?
That must be it... It's the stairwell, not me, they just don't pump enough oxygen in there.
....
9th floor.... One tiny grasp on to the hand railing. No biggie, I can do this.
....
10th floor .... Ok - Dry. heaves. hanging.on. to. the. hand. rail.for support... Pulling myself up the stairs instead of walking... Oh my....slowing down.
....
11th floor .... Stop... For a minute...well, a few minutes. Gotta catch my breath.
For a second I thought, what if I pass out here? ! No one will ever know? Days could go by. No one will ever think to look in the stairwell... That is, until they smell the stench of my decaying body, my body that is in rigor Mortis at that point, my body with my arms still clenching on to the hand rail.... Gez, how horrid, my poor neighbours (who I really don't know anyways), and .... All I wanted was just a little more exercise... To be fit again.. To enjoy life... Was that too much to ask ?!?$;@%* (ya, I'm dramatic.. Back to story)
....
12th floor .... Ok, gotta calm down my burning dry heaves .... Deep breath ....trying to do it quietly too.... Don't want to run into anyone coming out if the stairwell showing them how distressed I am just walking up the stairs. Gotta. Be. Ooo burning lungs...be cool.
....
13th floor.... Oh thank goodness there is no 13th floor !
Ok. That was hard. That burning down my esophagus into my lungs kinda hard.
Man, I got a long way to go!

Cough cough
Just put some ash on my head and this is what I feel like!
.... Just came back from visiting a home bound patient and I cannot believe how much he smokes.
He is a very nice pleasant man but wow it stinks.
It gets on my clothes and in my hair and in my nostrils.
Can't stand the smell.
Strange though, I'm sure he doesn't realize how bad it is. In many ways.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Well I'm not Chinese, but a few patients of mine are. I hope that those that celebrate this time have a good one!
I love mandarins and oranges. These curtesy of my patient today.
.... I don't know about you but "the year of the snake" doesn't sound too appealing.
One positive thing about snakes is that it is used in the standard sign for medicine... The snake wrapped about the pole with wings ha.
