 Another month has flown by!  What a January that was...

The Covid wheel finally called our number, and one of our household tested positive for Covid.  Poor M1 was not thrilled about having to stay in their own room for the most part of 10 days.  M2 hated that they couldn't play together.  And then M2's entire class went online for a week due to the high number of cases.

So for the entire month of January, I was able to work 6.5 days.... Thank goodness for EI or I would have never gotten through.  

Then, the first day I was set to go back to work, I wound up in the hospital in the middle of the night for excruciating abdominal pains.  So far, we have run a bunch of blood work, an abdominal xray, and an abdominal ultrasound....and we wait on results.

WCB is ending my physiotherapy claim in the next week, and our insurance doesn't cover much for physio.  Here's hoping we will figure something out soon.  Also I'm finally back on a regular massage schedule, so hopefully my back will heal faster now.  I also got my TENS machine, so I will be doing that at home!

As for cross stitching, well, I haven't finished another project yet, but I have patterns prepped for 2-3 more...  I did finish another book, and am working on two more right now.  M1 is still 2 books ahead of me in the reading challenge.

Scouting is still busy as ever, but we are excited for all of the activity going on.  Today we even emptied out our temporary storage room, putting everything back into our regular storage room, now that the renovations have been completed.

The weather is finally warming up enough to chip the snow and ice out of my driveway.  Who knows how long it will actually take to have a normal driveway again.

First aid classes haven't started yet, am currently awaiting that process, although classes are supposed to resume in a few weeks.  I am also preparing to do all my recertification in the next few months, with the final recert to be done in August.

As I'm currently scheduling myself into April right now, we will see how this goes!
