My Jeep Girl cup not only turns pink in the sun, it glows at night! Fun little discovery in the trailer.
Eric set Kai and I up in the trailer to camp at Gordon Bay.
Mom and Poppy joined us and car camped.
We played two games of Nertz both with many, many rounds. It's been a hot minute since I've played. It was fun. Mom won both games.
We met Eric and Luk in Lake Cowichan Sunday for dinner. Eric took both boys home. Mom went home and I had an evening and next day to myself.
So quiet. Very restorative.
Extremely refreshing to only think about yourself.
I listened to an entire book with only a couple interruptions.
Sketchy cell service but the odd call or text came through. No data though.
I came home to quite a few messages to deal with.
For fun, a lab in Quebec who is handling the new drug protocols needs me to contact them so they can set up bloodwork in our area immediately. I'll call them back tomorrow.
Eric came back out for dinner today. Our 34th Wedding Anniversary. We had mushroom ravioli and cheesecake from Red's. It froze well.
Then we finished packing up and came home because the boys have school. Except....they don't. Sigh. It's their school beach day that they're both skipping out of. Fei and Lili are both home. We could have stayed at Gordon Bay and come home tomorrow. Arg.
Eric worked all weekend on the gate project. They needed repairs, they're 22 years old. The electric opener part is finally being added. It took him a full day to cut a trench across the cement, run the conduit and patch it. As ALWAYS, I had no clue the job was so involved. It's going to be solar. His head is full of details, amperage, solar panel size, batteries and how many, installation issues, where, how. Key pad on the outside. Nothing that Duncan's finest can reach to steal.
Squirrel sometimes doesn't like to start so he worked trying to figure that out. Not solved yet. Oscar got a new track bar installed. I had no service so couldn't see the ring camera. I had no clue which project he picked to work on. I couldn't track his movements on the 360 app either. It was weird having so little contact with home. Nice too though.
I did meet with my pharmacist on Friday. He was great. Overwhelmed at first with my list. He doesn't like me getting a new drug until I mentioned it specifically targets fistulas. Then it was exciting because none of the other Chrones biologics help prevent fistula tracts. I have started the 12 week steroid program. I got two of the 5 vaccines requested. Pneumonia and tetanus. I'm too young for the Pneumonia one but he felt there were enough compelling reasons for it and did the shot before confirming payment coverage. So much talk around funding. The flu shot isn't available until Nov. I have to wait a week for the Covid shot. The shingles one doesn't seem necessary to him and it isn't covered so he thought I might double check that one. I suggested not wanting to go through shingles. He chuckled, said compared to Chrones it was nothing. Hmmm. I don't know. I've known a few people who definitely thought it hurt.
