Hi All,
A sunny cool day in Ottawa. My middle boy is working outdoors today - hope he stays bundled up.
I have not posted much this week but it's not from lack of things going on...
I was in lockdown at my offices in downtown Ottawa on Wednesday due to the tragic shooting of a Canadian soldier at the War Memorial. It was surreal to be sure.
My eldest son has left the house again. He does not want to deal with rules in the house and feels he will be better off living with his friends. He is 19 years old so there is not much we can do but he does not have a phone, a car or any money so I expect it won't last long. I am not sure what his plans are for school but we won't be paying for next semester which is due on November 10th unless he is living in the house and showing maturity. It is tough to deal with and I have been in a funk the past couple of days because of it. I hope he will come to his senses soon.
I have made a decision to focus on building my team with my Arbonne company. I have in my sights a promotion to RVP which will put a Mercedes in my driveway. The lease on my current vehicle is up in June 2016 so I will have it by then. I am actually quite excited about this. I have done well selling the wonderful products but now it is time to make the business side happen. I do have a couple of ladies that have joined my team but they did so more for the consultant discount than to make money. That is okay too though! A good friend of mine is interested in joining me and together I know we can make this happen. If you know of anyone that is interested in creating financial freedom for themselves and their families by building an international business, I will be happy to speak to them. I will not be using BoneSmart to sell or try to convince others to join but I will keep my BS friends up to date on how I am doing. It will keep me accountable if nothing else.
My knee is no better which is frustrating. I do seem to be sleeping a bit better (with help from painkillers) with the exception of the past couple of nights but that was more worry than pain that was keeping me up. I tried my rowing machine and I can do a tiny bit on it so will try to add 30 seconds a day until I am at 5 minutes and see how I do. Something to work toward. I am finding it difficult to get up in the morning to do my physio exercises. It takes at least 30 minutes to do the exercises on one leg never mind both. I did take time off this week from any physio exercises and have not done anything since Wednesday but I find I am limping more again so I know I have to get back into it to keep my ROM up.
I am still using Para Transpo which is limiting at work and with our family life but I still cannot move from the gas pedal to the brake pedal fluidly enough to be driving in rush hour traffic. That and the fact that I cannot get into my car without a step stool keeps me relying on alternate modes of transportation. I am thankful for the service that Para Transpo offers but it sure is inconvenient at times. I have a massage booked tomorrow but have to cancel it because I cannot book a time that will get me there in time. Since my son is not home I cannot get a ride from him and my husband does not get home in time. The one person that could drive me is in Vancouver this week. There are a lot of people worse off than me so I should not complain. I am just anxious to get my life back.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well.
Oh wait...a Halloween joke.
Why did the skeleton not go to the dance?
He didn't have any"body" to go with.

Was Steve able to get in to see the dentist?
