Do you see the new logo and the photo up there? Isn’t it cool when you open your e-mail and find that someone took the time to do something nice for you? Yay! I’ve spent the weekend in bed with a bad cold, I have no voice and my head feels dizzy. Today I got the strength to get up and check what’s online and I found Pariah did this for me, how cool is that! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I had to put it up just to show him how moved I am. Now I’m going back to bed…
This is one of those silly things that happen to people from time to time; my brain is on stand-by mode today, but I felt like writing something in here before retiring for the weekend. Do you have eye drops around? Use them… it’s going to hurt, ha ha!
Today I waited and waited to take a shower and when Patrice finally arrived I got in the shower to do some kind of lady’s ritual (you know, the whole nine yards with shaving and stuff). I was all happy feeling the water running, took my shampoo and proceeded to clean my hair. I usually leave the shampoo act while I soap the rest of my body and today disaster hit me… in a bad movement of my hand I managed to put a huge amount of soap in my eyes… ouch ouch ouch! And of course my reflexes told me to rinse them, but guess what? We ran out of water!

From Life Outtacontext: Michael Moore held nothing back when he took his opportunity to “thank the Academy” for his Oscar Sunday night. Neither did the audience when it tried to boo him off the stage for candidly stating his sentiments about America’s recent foreign policy. While Adrien Brody was more elegant and Susan Sarandon was elegantly minimalist, each found a way to speak up about the Iraqi War.
If you feel it’s important to speak your mind and state your opinion, no matter what it is, feel free to place either of these Don’t Be Afraid to Speak Up graphics on your Web site. The 30/70 refers to the polls which state that 30% of the public is against America’s involvement in the war in Iraq and 70% support its numbers that are controversial in their own right.

1. What was your most memorable moment from the last week? On Tuesday, when I went to the hospital for blood tests and then to see the Dr. and Patrice didn’t release my hand one single moment (well, except during the tests). It gave me comfort, it showed me what kind of person I’m sharing my life with, it reassured me of his love and his support and how no matter how many problems I have, he’ll be there for me always. I have no words to express how good it makes me feel.

Last night when we came back from downtown I was literally pooped. I couldn’t keep my eyes open later than 9:30 p.m. after the adrenaline rush of the day with so much medical stuff. We walked a lot too, which is good since we’re on this walking mood. From St. Denis street to La Gauchetière (without counting also the distance from the train to the metro, then home)… Not that bad, eh? I mean, if you know Montreal, you know what I’m talking about.
The appointment with the Dr. went well. Not as good as I had planned because that man is like a firing gun “do this, do that, take this” and I don’t feel any real human connection with him. So impersonal and cold, no matter what a good Dr. he is. Of course he’s been accurate with his diagnosis and I feel good with the treatments, but sometimes I feel I’m talking to a wall.
