So, like "One fish two fish, red fish blue fish," and, "I do not like Green Eggs and Ham, I do not like them Sam I am," the title of this blog is a book. A very cute, Dr. Seuss book. One that was read aloud at my grade 12 graduation banquet. I have a copy of the book somewhere... Anyway, the way it relates... So, this week has been a good and bad example of friendship. I have had people tell me not to talk to them, they need to move on with their lives. So be it. I have had people I haven't talked to in a while message me or make an effort to see me or spend time with me. It's nice to know that people other than the 3 or 4 I've been spending a lot of time with care.
Last night, we went for dinner at BP's. I invited a few people, not figuring most would come. Many of them don't come out on a regular basis, let alone for something I'm inviting them to. I wanted to celebrate that Mike is done his exam and it was my last night out in a while. So, Randi, Brityn, Matt and I went for a swim and then headed for BP's. The group ended up being Brityn, Matt, Randi, Mike, Marshall, Kurtis, Ben, Jordan and I. It was an interesting combination and I took a bunch of pictures and will post them to Facebook soon! :) For now, I am keeping them on my camera, so while I'm in hospital I have people's pictures to look at. I'm told it's a good idea for keeping my spirits up. :)
For anyone who wants to come visit... The visiting hours at the hospital are noon to 8pm. I am allowed my cell phone on the unit so I will have one of them with me and will be checking Facebook as I feel up to it. My status will reflect how I'm feeling in general. You can text me and I will try to get back to you but I probably won't be answering too many phone calls. Also, if you are planning on bringing me anything, I can't have anything to eat but may be allowed sugar free hard candies (Lifesavers, etc) but watch the ingredients/nutritional information on them as they have to be sugar free and the sugar alcohols can't be too high. I love chap stick and prefer it not in a little jar, a tube is easier. Otherwise, I think I'm bringing everything I need... lol, and some people have asked if I'm taking anything good to read. I'm not taking more than maybe one book, I'm taking my laptop and some movies because it's not as much work to watch a movie and if I fall asleep through it, so be it.
Anyway, I need to finish packing/deciding what to take so I'm going to go do that... And turn the dryer back on! :)
About Me
- Summer
- Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- I love to meet new people. I have done a bit of travelling and I look forward to doing more once I am completely finished school. In June 2007 I graduated with a BA in Music with a minor in Kinesiology and english. I intend to get my BEd and possibly my MA in Music in Musicology of Popular or Rock’n’Roll Music. I LOVE to sing and I play clarinet and I played in the U of L Wind Orchestra from 2004-2007. I LOVE to swim and I used to teach swimming. I used to work at Camp Chestermere and I was the lead instructor for Photojournalism. We organized the weekly “newspaper” and the children would write the stories and take the pictures. I edited everything and published it. I was also a counsellor. It made the weeks busy but fun! I want to be a teacher and it helped prep me for that! I am a member of Scouting, specifically a part of the Knights of the Westwind. We run and attend camps and activities and so far I enjoy it. I am having weight-loss surgery in January of 2009 and I'm nervous and excited, all at the same time!
