#100happydays Day 57 Migraine continues…….

#100happydays Day 57 Migraine continues……..

Well I guess I really do look like this at the end of the week, unfortunately more so because of the silly migraines! You think I would be used to them by now since I started having them at the age of 9!

 

This is how Glenis does look by the time Janis arrives home

I tried to go to bed early last night hoping that would revive my energy for our race this weekend, I finally slept sitting up as that eased the throbbing somewhat and totally forgot to blog last night! So I am only a few (like 9 hrs ) late in posting day 57, I so so so can’t wait for my sister to come home as she will have the most amazing pictures and stories to post about her adventurous time in Algonquin!

#100happydays Day 56 Somedays are harder than others

#100happydays Day 56 Somedays are harder than others

 

As we all find some days are just harder than others! Today for me it was a harder one! Awoke this morning with a wicked migraine that seems to just want to hang out with me all day, I can’t seem to kick even though I keep trying! Within that though I am greatful for those people around me that did everything in their power to make me feel better!

First off my husband Murray – my nurse, my driver, my server xoxox

My boss John – who is always running around like a chicken with its head cut off! Came to my rescue so I could leave work!

Carolyn for coming in to help me even though she also wasn’t well!

Emanuel – for closing the store tonight!

My kids – for texting me there get wells!

So although I’m not feeling well I am truly blessed for those around me!

THANK YOU ALL

Janis messages me and said that she was only in Arrowhead 45 mins before seeing a BEAR! Can’t wait till she blogs about that!

#100happydays Day 53 – Big shoes to fill……..

#100happydays Day 53 – Big shoes to fill…….

 

As you probably have noticed Janis does almost all of our blogging as she is the “techy” one out of the two of us.  So I definitely have some big shoes to follow as I will be blogging this week , Janis has left with Phil to enjoy an amazing week up in Algonquin camping, hiking and picture taking.

So I will do my best not to look like this by the end of the week!

This is how Glenis is going to look by the time Janis gets back home

My challenges this week will be to train on my own, figure out my knitting without  help, post these blogs properly, try not to talk to myself during my morning coffee, and realize that Janis won’t have facetime out in bush.  Should be a long week.

Enjoy sister, you deserve it………..

#100happydays Day 34 Watch out for it!

#100happydays Day 34  Watch out for it!

Love the trails but not the Poison Ivy! It’s good we know what it looks like. I heard the Jewel Weed is an natural antidote to the rash the the ivy can give you, but we don’t want to find out if it’s true! The picture here is from this mornings run.

Toxicodendron radicans, commonly known as poison ivy ,is a poisonous North American and Asian flowering plant that is well known for causing an itching, irritating, and sometimes painful rash in most people who touch it, caused by urushiol, a clear liquid compound in the sap of the plant. It is variable in its appearance and habit, and despite its common name it is not a true ivy. T. radicans is commonly eaten by many animals and the seeds are consumed by birds, but is most often thought of as a weed. Wikipedia

#100happydays Day 34 Watch out for it!

We are seeing a lot of poison ivy along the trails this year. Maybe it’s because we finally know what it looks like!

Did you know: (from the Healthy Canadians website)

  •     Poison ivy belongs to the same plant family as the trees producing the mango and the cashew nut.
  •     Urushiol oil is so potent that only one nanogram (billionth of a gram) is needed to cause a rash.
  •     No animal can get a rash from poison ivy, but they can get the urushiol oil on their fur.
  •     Goats and other grazers eat poison ivy, and birds eat the seeds.
