I had an odd dream... It involved a friend of mine from Highschool.. Michelle.. an ex who comes across gay & ends up getting vaporated (not cuz he's gay).. and summer school (non-remedial).. Programs based on scouting.. I wasn't allowed to be in the class I wanted to be cuz I was over qualified & oddly, Stephen was in it (the class).. & they were trying to upgrade me.. & my sister & my mom called to babysit while I am here trying to sort out this class thing & Rob's sitting there expectign a ride to work cuz he'd taken the morning off to see his son (Stephen) into his first day of school..
I'll see if I can work up more details later.. so this actually has some sence to it.. and a time line..Tags: death, dream, friends, real, rob, scouting, sleep, stephen

March 20th, 200804:49 am: I can't sleep
Surprise.. surprise.. I can't sleep.. But I wanna.. I'm so damn tired.
There's several reasons fer that which I can name of the top of my head.. the first being that Rob's not here.. I can never get to sleep or sleep well when he's not here.. I have a headache.. My tummy's gone wonky, yet I am hungry.. My shoulders were bothering me (fms pain) earlier.. I had a shower & left the towel on my head - I can't seem to sleep with a towel on my head.. I find it odd that I can't sleep with a towel on my head, but I *can* sleep with curlers in my hair - go figure..
At about 2.30, I gave up & grabbed the book I am currently reading & read fer about an hour.. & then snuggled back into bed.. but it's almost 5am & I am still wide awake.. :(
Any suggestions on a natural way to conk out? I'm already doubled up on my sleep pills which are mainly for my RLS anyways..Current Mood:  Wide Awake :( , drugs, fatigue, fibromyalgia, fms, hair, health, hunger, insomnia, kelli, real, rob, sleep
January 24th, 200803:44 pm: Niagara Falls - vacation
Recently, Robert & I went away for a few days to Niagara.. here are the emails Rob sent out that include links & info about our vacation via Rob's blog & pictures... If you have questions or comments, lemmie have 'em :)
Hi Friends and Family,
Kelli and I arrived safe in Niagara Falls last night. We were about an hour late on getting in due to train delays.
Last night was a little rainy and the mist around the falls was very heavy at times.
I have attached a link below on where you can view pictures from day one of our trip. These include pictures of our hotel room, some of the festival of lights and a shot of the falls at night. If you are interested you can go to: http://niagara1.robertbcairns.com/
Also I am detailing a bit of our trip on my blog which can be found at : http://blog.robertbcairns.com/
Hi Friends and Familly,
Day 2 in Niagara Falls was really warm. Kelli and I are having a great time. It is a well needed rest.
I do have some movies to come once I figure out the best way to post them.
For pictures of day 2 you can go here: http://niagara2.robertbcairns.com/
For more reading of our trip you can find it on my blog at : http://blog.robertbcairns.com/
Hi All,
As promised I uploaded some videos of our trip. These are two short 30 second clips which show you the raw power of the falls and the Niagara River. It is the first time I have shot any videos from my digital camera. Two things I need to remember for future trips is to bring my portable tripod and that the camera has a mic. You can hear Kelli and I talking in the background but the roar and sights of the falls is impressive and still shows the power of one of natures great wonders of the world.
To view the videos, please go to my blog at http://blog.robertbcairns.com/
My blog has links back to my You Tube page where they are stored and you can view them directly from the video page providing you have flash installed.
Enjoy.
Hi Friends and Family,
I have now posted the pictures from Day 3 and Day 4 of Kelli's and my vacation to Niagara Falls. Please find the links below:

Specific abdominal pain in the area of my ovary where I typically get Endometriosis pain.. Missed my allergist.. Missed my counselor, twice ~ no, today made thrice..
Tomorrow's the GP..

This is not cut so ya'll know I *am* alive *g* Is he my soulmate?
 |
Two Peas in a Pod
We are like two peas in a pod. We are not soul mates, but our love and relationship are strong and what we have can be just as blissful. We compliment each other and more importantly learn from each other. |
What is the best Sex position for me?
 |
Lapdance
The lapdance position is right for you. If you are a woman you get to be in control, with a bit of give from the man. You can also experiment on various furniture such as couch or stairs, be creative. |
Am I a Great Lover?
 |
I'm adventurous
I'm a quinstessential natural-yet-naughty chick. I'm extremely confident, and I love celebrating my body. That way I'm being playful, and when it comes to being fun, fearless, and frisky, I discover new natural sexual positions. I am a creative lover. |
Am I a Great Kisser?
 |
I'm a Passionate Kisser
For me, kissing is about all about following my urges. If someone's hot, I'll go in for the kiss - end of story. I can keep any relationship hot with my steamy kisses. A total spark plug - my kisses are bound to get me in trouble. |
What is My Ideal Lover?
 |
I need "The Care Bear"!
Oh, you poor thing. You've been hurt, haven't you? Come, cry on my shoulder. My naked, naked shoulder. You are looking for a sensitive lover, someone who can spoon with you through the next episode of Sex And the City. You want someone that cares more about the 'after' part than the 'during' part. Also, you want someone who can stay awake for the 'after' part. |
What Drug Am I??
 |
I am "Pot"!
You're a hippie trapped in world that thinks hippies are dirty, mainly because they are. You like life slow, and play Ultimate Frisbee. You enjoyed taking this quiz, because it reminded you that maybe the world is one giant facebook, and we're all just profiles, you know? |
What Fruit Am I??
 |
I'm Banana (Explains Captain Oblivious, don't it?)
You are a softie! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often take advantage of your sweet temperedness, and sheer vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner both for their mental and physical beauty! Your relationship is always in harmony! |

November 20th, 200707:11 pm: my foot
I took a swan dive off the stairs in the basement yesterday.. er today?? it's was like 12.05 to I guess it was today.. the last step at the bottom in half the height as the rest of them.. I thought I was on that last half step... I wasn't... I was on my way down in the basement to get my comforter, have a shower & go to bed..
INSTEAD, Mike, my new roomie, heared me scream ( he called it a squeal) as I went down & ask me if I was alright.. I hesitate, moved my foot & promptly told him now, that I needed to go to the er cuz something popped or did something when it landed & that i could no longer move it.. SO, off to the ER we go.. & Mike was so sweet about it.. (If I had any friends who were into redheads, I'd so introduce) he took me to the ER.. & of course, my fibro kicks in while I am there.. my back kept going in & out of spasm... fun fun fun.. & my leggs kept threatening to hit into charlie horses.. my back actually did once when I was trying to get outta the wheel chair to get onto the bed for my cast..
Cast? Ya.. actually a half cast, cuz the Er do wasn't sure if it was a fracture or not, so I have a cast just in case.. not that it immobilizes me *that* much.. I have to go the fracture clinic on Friday.. if the fracture doc says it's a fracture, I keep it on fer 4-6 weeks, if it's not a fracture, off it comes.. if it loosens up anymore, I'll ask for another one.. & ask it they can Please make it a little shorter.. so, I might be in a cast for Christmas.. that sucks..
So we get back.. since there's not alot of maneuver room, I just bummed & crawled in the house & up the stairs & into my room.. I had to them make my way to the bathroom by myself.. which was interesting..
by this time it's about 4am.. & I called Rob to let him know what was going on, cuz I'd called him before we hit the ER about what I'd done.. we talked fer a bit.. & that in itself is another post.
So, near 7 am, my right legg finally kicks in with all the charlie horses.. firts the shin, then the thigh, then the calf.. all, of course, connecting to the foot.. *sigh*.. I was not a happy camper.. trying to find a happy medium between a simultaneous shin/calf charlie horse was interesting & painful.. hurt more than my 'broken' foot did..
Got to sleep shortly after 9 am.. woke up about an hour ago..
& for the rest of the week.. I have an appointment with SS tomorrow morning, 9am.. I have my hearing in TO on Thursday, have to be ther by 9am.. and have *2* doc appointments on Friday.. one with my GP in Scarb on Friday & the other with the fracture clinic at 1.. I think I'm gonna postpone my appointment with my GP til next week.. I can't do 2 at once.. hard enough to do it with just the fibro.. can't do it with my foot f**ked up as well..
So needless to day last night was interesting.. now I need food.. substance.. it's been now over 24 hours since I ate something of nutritional value.
But I was impressed.. my shortest ER visit .. 12.30 til..3.30.. not bad.. 3hrsTags: christmas, doctors, er, fibromyalgia, fms, food, health, help, holiday, hunger, insomnia, real, rob, sleep, vent
November 15th, 200701:56 am: Moved
well.. I did it.. I've moved.. I am now somewhat settled into Sarah's.. my bed & my computer, & my TV.. are all in place.. And an air filter.. (thank God, cuz I am allergic to her cats) Tomorrow's job is getting my grooming products organized.. & maybe work on my desk..
I think I need to ask my mom to send some of my linens with Wendy on Friday when she picks me up - we're going to the Science Centre.. or else ask mom to come out on Thursday morning before her Bridge with them & send some of my clothes back with her.. - No, it's Thursday today - I've lost a day somewhere..
*sigh*

October 19th, 200705:34 am: insomnia sucks
It's 5.30 & I still can't sleep.. this sucks.. But Rob's asleep..
Went to the hockey game (3-2 Leafs).. got some guy's autograph on the way in for a friend of Rob's friend.. Ran into Walter Gretzky on the way out & got an autograph to Rob & I.. which was really cool.. :)
I've change my icons around a bit.. :)
I'm stressed out over some stuff I said to Rob that was in really bad taste & have upset him even more and other major issues.. so thus - Pain, lots of it.. 2 Tylenol 3's.. and 1 oxycodone then one more a half hour later.. & I am still way too awake.. Prolly to much damn caffeine from that bottomless coke.. *sigh* Pain's finally starting to subside, but I imagine sitting on the pc here isn't helping much, so I am outta here..
More to come, eventually

October 1st, 200703:04 am: More..
So.. Tomorrow - er.. today.. I have laundry to do & pants to shorten.. Thankfully I got my sewing machine for my birthday, so I don't have to sew these ones by hand.. cuz to be honest, it hurts.. I feel like I have arthritis in my hands when I do that..
Speaking on my sewing machine, I can scratch that off my wish list.. :) For the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) holiday_wishes community.. Not sure what to put on this year's list.. I admit this year I wont be doing much in the way of wishes, I still have my FMS gift to go out.. God I suck.. Just gift cards likely.. I received no thank you's from least years gifts.. not a one.. I was not impressed & considering the postage cost more than some of the gifts were worth.. not good.. So, unless I get something other than a card from someone this year, I'm not gonna send anything more than cards.
Our Thanksgiving is coming up.. the Canadian one.. it's actually really early this year.. October 8th.. & Rob & I wont be going to my parent's (long story) and his mother's saying she's not going to do it. SO, apparently no gobble gobble for us this year.. which really bites..Current Mood:  Tired & sore.. , holiday, holiday wishes, real, rob, thanksgiving, wish, wish list

July 1st, 200711:02 pm: Canada Day..
I spent today discussing this situation with my mother.. I called my friend Bob - got a third person perception & he agrees with Rob that my mom's a bit out there, a bit excessive.. Rob & I talked on his way home from work & well, unfortunately this issue just jumped my stress level again.. We were gonna go to Ontario Place for the Fireworks, but I figured that might not be a good idea with my body twinging at me..
Rob & I went to Home Depot and went out fer dinner.. got an additional fan for the spare room as the computers keep it warmer than the rest of the apartment especially when the ceiling fan isn't as fast as the other two..
We watched the Canada/Chile U-20 soccer game.. We lost.. :(
I taped what was broadcast here of the Diana concert.. on the PVR.. The concert on Saturday for the earth, I've got 2 hours of *that* concert to be taped as well.. I have most of what's coming up ion the next week set to be recorded.. Thursday morning, before we leave I am going to have to make sure CNTM is on the list (list only goes a week ahead) before we leave for Mtl..
Rob was exhausted & went to bed about 9.30.. I, myself, will be heading to the shower & bed after I finish this post..

June 26th, 200702:16 pm: Dr Apt.
Grrr... My Dr's appointment for Thursday has been canceled.. Something's come up for her & she's out of her office this Thursday.. so I have rescheduled for next Tuesday.. I really should write a list of what I need to talk to her about.. I'll prolly book again for after Rob & I get back from vacation.. Have a second 'counseling' appointment with her, bringing Rob with me while he's still on vacation.. On the 12th or 13th.. Not on the 11th cuz that's the day after we get back & I have an appointment at WHC, Enviro clinic that morning - 9am, ugh.
I wonder if I should do that now & not wait till I'm in the office next week..Current Mood: Hurtin'.. Again.. Current Music: White noise of the fans cooling the air. , health, kelli, real, rob, vacation
June 19th, 200707:37 am: Done/ to do
Yesterday I got done:
dusting
laundry
most of the sweeping
Steven came down & we have a ceiling fan in our main room! ya - a three fans are up!
a walk - took some time to myself.
Stephen played goal last night for lacrosse again.. Rob thinks he's getting to be a pretty good goalie, just doesn't have support from his team.. Their last game is Wednesday at 8.30 up at Stouffville.. I will be going to that Game tomorrow.
Today I want to get the vacuuming done, cuz the rugs look horrendous & vacuum the couch as well.. If that goes well, possibly finish sweeping/re-sweeping the apt & mopping it down.. the osculating fan in the living room here needs to be cleaned off again, but that's an evening thing.. as is cleaning Rob's dress shoes for him.
We've been having a problem with the light in the bathroom flickering on & off, with occasional sparks & crackles behind the switch plate. I am hoping it's just an issue with the light switch & nothing more.. cuz that can be fixed right quick - Yay! Since it's a potential fire hazard they have an electrician coming in today.. 24hrs - not bad turn around time.. After he leaves, I'll go ask the super when the rads are gonna get done.. cuz we can't turn 'em on.. Which will mean a cold winter for us & a letter or two to the provincial/federal housing department.
Rob just went to work, & he's gonna have a late night tonight which kinda bites.. but either way, I am headed back to bed! I need my beauty (or functionality) sleep..Current Mood: Tired. , health, kelli, real, rob, sleep, stephen, to do, work
June 17th, 200710:33 pm: Update!
It's been a while since I've updated properly.. Other than the dead bird, it's been since late May..
I had my Cousin's Wedding on the 2nd of June.. it was nice.. she's a guide leader so she had an honour guard.. that was kinda cool, but I'd have had the kids in formal uniforms not those damn casual shirts & sweat pants.. So not appropriate for a wedding.. I think Dave might be interested in that idea.. having a colour party from his scouting youth.. at his wedding - God know when that will happen.. Heh - I've been asked to be one of the groomsmen *grin*
I got a message from Women's College Hospital here in Toronto from their Environmental Health Clinic. It's a unique multidisciplinary clinic promoting environmental health, and to improve health care for people with environment-linked conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. Yay! So my appointment is in July.. So much fer a 6 months waiting time - gotta love name dropping * smirk*
Last weekend Rob's parents decided to go to Detroit forth weekend.. We were going ot have Stephen down for the weekend as a result.. BUT, Brian, the other son of theirs who live in his parent's basement was going to be in Vancouver on a business trip (I thought it odd over the w/e, but hey.. *shrug*) The issue there being that Rob's parents have two small dogs who don't travel well.. so they needed someone to watch the dogs.. Well, one of the dogs likes to pee - everywhere, especially in new locations.. So Rob & I ended up going up there for the weekend.. the dogs missed their 'mom' & 'dad' and were very active in the evening & overnight.. as a result, Rob ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs.. While I got the small double bed upstairs (I think it may even be a 3/4) all to myself.. Stephen & I played cards both evenings, while during the Day, Rob & I were out & about.. & God! was I exhausted by the end of the weekend.. and we got ALL our laundry done, which we brought up there is the new luggage Rob bought up on Friday.. Which will be nice for our trip to Montreal. So we've got furniture & stuff for our balcony which is nice :)
I went to Stephen's lacrosse Game last Monday Got to see him play goal.. They won, so he was happy.. I went to the Wednesday game too, but the other team only had 4 guys show up - need 6 to play.. so the game was forfeit.. they grabbed players from kids who just played or were coming up.. to play.. unfortunately they then lost the 'fun' game.. the comments was that since it didn't count was that the guys on Stephen's team didn't bother to try.. But there's 2 more game... this Monday at 9.30.. & the finals on Wednesday..
Rob & I recently upgraded our cable to have a PVR box.. a personal video recorder.. It's a cable box with a HD that can record up to 50 hours of time & it's saved in digital, so it's just as good quality as when it was originally broadcast in digital, unlike a tape recording. I've already recorded The Lab with Leo for Rob & Numb3rs for me.. He's watched his shows I haven't watched mine.. this will be useful esp this Wednesday to record CNTM on City at 8 while I am up in Markham :)
Rob spent the weekend just past setting me up on his laptop which is a faster machine.. He's going to snagg my drive from my desktop & pop it into an upright drive case & attach it to the laptop.. He's also going to get an external dvd burner.. cuz the CD player on here, which it's supposed to burn CD's, only reads 'em.. so he's gonna get a new drive.. but hey, I got a better machine..
He is such a sweetheart!
Oh & I put up a cork board for him :)Tags: family, fatigue, friends, health, kelli, laundry, montreal, pc, real, relationships, rob, stephen
May 22nd, 200707:49 pm: Windows.
I got one of my big issues of my plate from my big to do list.. I got all my windows washed less what I need a scrubby for.. not sure if the super will lend me a ladder tho to do the outside of the bedrooms, but the insides are clean.. :) I'd have to do it a day or evening when Rob is here.. Not climbing up a ladder with no one around in case I fall. That wont even be considered until the weekend..
It was a nice day to be out side today, so I figured I'd take advantage of the nice day we had & do that. :)
Remaining issues:
Wash front door - I don't like how it looks, I wanna get it clean, with a scrubby, inside & out)
Clean dining room light - not sure if I still need to do this one, cuz we're gonna be replacing it with a fan, which is in the front hall way.
Secure the floor - We have a couple of places where the flooring has popped up.. I know where one spot is, can't remember where exactly the other is.. by the balcony I think..
Wash out, with scrubbies, the fridge.. *This I think will be my next project..*
Check vacuum.. I need to look st the vacuum again, I have have secured it too tight, beyond that, I'd have to get out the other vacuum from the storage - my R2 unit :)Current Mood:  accomplished , real, rob, to do, weather
