SodaStream
 The past weekend i was doing some christmas shopping when i came across this product. I thought it was neat so i bought an early present for myself.

 I went online after to see what others thought and it seemed that there where mixed views and the bottom line you either love it or hate it. So I tested it out and i personally like it because you can adjust how much syrup to put in it.

 I also found alot of recipes online so you really don't need to buy the syrups if you don't want to.

odd news

Last Monday on November 25th. I was on my way to my appointment for my rheumatoid. The night before it had snowed so l left really early to my appointment. I got into the car and i pulled out of the drive way. l got about 10 blocks away when all of a sudden it felt funny driving so i pulled over, l got out of the car and to my horror i saw my right rear tire got loose on the tire rim and was coming off.

I got back into the car and drove very slow to the tire garage that is right near my backlane. I got the car in and walk back to my house. l was lucky my sister was home so i borrowed her van to make the appointment.

 l phoned the doctor office to tell them i might be late. They said that it was okay. I arrived five minutes later. 

 The appointment went okay, l found out that the doctor wants to send me to see an orthopedic surgeon to look at my knees, since my left knee keeps buckling on me.

Snowfall

 On Saturday November 16th, I got out of the van and lost my balance and l fell to my knees. My niece ran to get my mom and they helped to get me up. My knees where swollen and still are a little. They have fluid in them. I have been using a cane.

 I cancelled my doctor apt but someone cancelled their apt for next Monday so i took it.

 Today l awoke with a sore back, and stiffness. I believe the weather has something to do with that. It is cool at around -4 degrees and flurries. 

 The other day my family and i decided to visit a friend who just moved out to a farm not to far from the city. About a 20 to 30 minutes to get to her place. It was nice to get out of the city for a while(i'm more of a country person then the city but my doctors are here in the city and would be alot of travelling back and fourth.)

 She has a nice size property and a few farm animals. We sat in the kitchen and had a good chat.

crazy few weeks!!

 A week before Halloween my sister was helping me to clean the house and she was sweeping the bathroom floor. She got close to the pipe that hooks up to the water tank of the toilet. And the pipe broke, the water came gushing out. 

She screamed out for my help, so l got to her and seen the problem. I went downstairs to the basemen as fast as l could possibly move. I quickly searched far the water main brake valve. Luckily l found it fairly quickly. I went back to help my sister and what a mess. The water was 4 inches deep. I mopped up while my sister dried off( she was soaked from head to toe.)

Called plumber and got it fixed.
 After all the commotion l needed to step back and take a rest. 

Now i look back and have a chuckle because it did look funny, it was just like in the movies.

Today I feel like complaining.
I have a parking permit for my rheumatoid arthritis and pulmonary hypertension. I'm 35 years old and I look healthy but I'm not. I'm annoyed at people who assumes that I'm faking when I pull into a handicap spot. Or I get mad glares. I wish people would stop judging me. What do they want from me?
Should I wear a sign that tells people why I do park there!
I have difficult when walking and in constant pain. I can only walk short distance before I feel faint or dizzy.
I try to avoid shopping when I have flare ups on my joints.
Shame on those people who glares and complain about healthy looking people who park in those handicap spots. Those people should walk a mile in my shoes.
