What is Extreme?

On the weekend, I was writing back and forth with a friend,who lives in Scotland,about Extreme Weather. 

I commented on my Status, that "I hate to look outside and see allthat snow but that I am grateful that we don’t get the extreme weather that other places do" (referencing the wind storms in Indiana & Kentucky…etc).

My friend said that to people who live in Scotland, ourwinters are ‘Extreme’.  It’s all a matter of what you are used to.  It’s all relevant. 

Still, I think we are pretty lucky… no Hurricanes,very few Tornadoes, little Flooding and our Earthquakes generally do little damage.

It's Saturday evening, and I am tired!  We, in the investment business, saw the end of another 'RRSP Season'.  What that meant for me was a whole lot of overtime.  In the last two weeks I've put in about 2 hours of overtime, per day.

2012 New Year... New Me!

February 8, 2012

I'm on a new Journey... a journey to renewed and improved health!

I have to say I'm now pretty excited about it, but the road to this point was long and at times, scary.  I'm now in full menopause, or as my doctor said...  I am post-menopausal.  It hit hard and fast, a year ago.  Hot flashes, many moments of unsteadiness and not being so sure of myself...  then the aches & pains in my legs and worse...  my feet. Somewhere along the way I had developed Plantar Fasciitis. 

I've always been healthy... always had some 'tummy trouble' and trouble with my sinuses (ear/nose/throat) but otherwise I was good.  I never smoked and hardly ever drink but must admit... I love sweets and carbs.  I'm addicted to sugar/carbs.
