hello everyone!!

charlie - enjoy hubby's last day!! I could have sworn I smelled your muffins from here....darn, I must have been dreaming lol

randysgirl - love your attitude!!! I was always depressed and lonely the first 1-2 weeks after my visits with hubby too. There are good days and bad throughout the process, I can only tell you what worked for me.... I had to allow some bad days/moments but keep busy and fill my time with family and friends doing things I enjoyed doing to help me get through. I personally counted 7 months from when we filed and set my sights on that month for an answer from KG. It helped me get through and I wasn't expecting anything to happen before then. In between, I always picked my next visit to JA and had a count down going to that date which also helped me. I also always convinced myself that in the grand scheme of things, 7 months or so was just a drop in the bucket compared to a lifetime with hubby. We waited 8 months and I can tell you that right now, those months of waiting were definitely worth it for me!! I feel like those 8 months have pretty much been forgotten.

I know that different things work for different people. I hope going for sushi is one of the things that helps you get through. And just think, you're already 5 months in....hopefully you are past the half way mark and almost in the home stretch now

Hey nae-nae! We are relaxing together now, and making lunch.

I am taking a page out of your book and also counting 7 months before I think anything will start happening for me. Until then, it's stay busy every way I know how, including working on some new skills, a temp job or jobs, and working with hubby at a distance on our website. It's really coming together now, and I am excited to watch it develop and get exposure!

Randysgirl - I love sushi, but it's something hubby and I do together, LOL. We went to East Japanese for dinner last night, if you're ever in Kingston, you have to try it out!

 

[lonely_wife]

OMG... too funny randysgirl... I keep telling me hubby he has to try sushi but god he is too hard headed and doesnt even want to come to that restaurant... I keep telling him to start off with vegetarian maki or something like that but he is totally turned off by the word sushi which makes me laugh so oh well looks like I will have to still keep going out once a week with my girls for a sushi date lol hahahaha

 

[nae-nae]

good morning everyone! Happy long weekend!! How is everyone today?

We went and got hubby's health card yesterday after work...no issues. We went to the Oakville office cause hubby works in Burlington and they are the closest office open until 7 pm. They were super nice, I almost wanted to pinch myself, thought I was dreaming lol They are never that nice in a government office lol

He received his G1 in the mail a week or so ago so he used that, his PP and his PR card for ID. We also brought his pay stubs, hydro bill and bank statements just in case but they didn't even want to see those. Now I can add him to my work benefit plan...they wouldn't put him on without a health card number ... jerks! oh well, just glad he made it 90 days without any reason to see a doctor.

Morning everyone...Happy Easter!!!

Nae Nae...Well there is another thing done to intergrate hubby into the Canadian system. My benefits at work wont add hubby on also until he has his OHIP card....I have already enquired..lol

Well its been a week since KGN has had hubby's PP and I am hoping once they are back in office next week they will be working deligently to return his PP and call others to drop off or pick up PP.

Have a wonderful weekend one and all!

Morning Nae, lonely_wife, ladyposh and everyone!

Nae, please tell Mr. Nae congrats on the license! Has it been 90 days already since he's been home? Nice How is he liking spring? It was my second favourite season, nothing like watching the trees, flowers and grass bloom into greenness and colours. Here in Jamaica I find I tend to take greenness for granted, since it's ever-present, but when I first saw spring bloom in NY I was enchanted.

Lonely_wife, I think we will have to get together for sushi and leave the husbands at home, LOL. Hubby cooks Jamaican, so your husband will not have to worry, he will like whatever he makes, LOL.

Ladyposh, KG has been returning passports within two weeks, so hopefully your husband should have it back by end of next week.

 

[nae-nae]

mornin lady posh and charlie!

I'm going to join your husband's for dinner and send my hubby with you guys lol I don't like sushi, he's never tried it but is open to it. Just please don't feed him shrimp or shell fish. He ate shrimp last night and he's allergic to it, his throat swelled and he had trouble breathing. Scared the crap out of me! we went to get an epi pen but he refused to buy it cause it was $120 and he said it wasn't that bad. He was wheezing though. We got some Benadryl and it worked thank God!!! I was so worried, kept checking if he was breathing all night long!

charlie - even though it's Spring, it hasn't started yet!! :'( it's been cold and we even had snow last week. it's grey and cloudy today, it's been a bit rainy too. Some tulips are poking out in the garden but are not growing fast because of the cold. He keeps asking me when is it going to get warmer? lol last year we had a beautiful Spring, this year it totally sucks!!!

lady posh - I hope he gets the call next week!!! are you ready for his arrival? closets cleaned, drawers emptied and as canuck would recommend mirrors installed on the ceiling lol

 

[CharlieD10]

Oh lord. Please tell him to be careful, my SIL is severely allergic to shellfish, she can't even scale fish at work (she's a chef) or handle lobsters or shrimp, she has to direct someone else while they do it. She once got pierced by a lobster claw through the gloves she was using to handle it, and her entire arm swelled and went numb and she had to be rushed to the doctor.

You can definitely have dinner with hubby while we take Mr. Nae for sushi, LOL. Nothing gets hubby going like having people to cook for.

Snow? ??? Where is spring? Tell Mr. Nae to demand a refund, LOL. Hubby had to wear his hoodie and jacket over a long sleeved thermal shirt for going back yesterday, poor soul was hot as dickens in the car, LOL.

Ladyposh, if you need some help installing those mirrors on the ceilings, let me know, hubby is in that line of work.

Morning Beautiful People.... Happy Good Friday.... I wish you all a blessed weekend...

Thanks for the comments about my little princess... she is the best - I love her like crazy!!

I miss JA during this weekend... what a blast, kite flying, bun and cheese (even though I cant stand the cheese in the can.. gag), party in the street.. ah well.... Its cold here so not going to be up to much outside, might try and fly a kite on Sunday when we go visit family for Easter supper with the neice and nephew but other than that just going to keep it quiet... hubby has till Tuesday off so we are happy about that.

All this lobster and seafood talk has me drewling... I LOVE LOVE LOVE lobster and crab... and hubby is allergic to shellfish also.... I go to Red Lobster and Big Daddys Crab shack when I get the chance with any friend or family member that will go with me because that is the only time i really get to indulge.... There is this one place in Ochi that serves the BEST lobster.. its a place in the fishermans village and a man dubbed "lobster dave" and he is the BOSS... Oh i am dying for some lobster right now.........

I will pray for all of you ladies and gents over the holidays when I give thanks and speak to god... I hope you all have god in your hearts this holiday and remember that should be your last easter alone...

ONE LOVE

LOL, kc, hubby hates the cheese too. He calls it imitation fake cheese. No kite flying here in Kingston, very humid and overcast day today. Maybe on the north coast though, the kite festival is on in St. Ann. Somehow I never had any seafood while I lived/worked in St. Ann, I don't think I did much during those 4 years, LOL.

I would love that recipe for easter bun if you dont mind LCW
