Sounds as if…

Hmmm.  Contractions are about 5 minutes apart it seems. Sounds as if I have another grandchild on the way. I am waiting for another call to see if this is for real (it sounds like it is) and then I will be off to Saskatoon.

Tired

Today has been one of those days.  I was busy but in the big money terms it was not so hot.  Mostly of course that is due to the way we bill out the procedures.  But having one of my kids come in to have wisdom teeth out – well there is not much in [...]

This is maybe not the kind of vacation day I wanted.
