Weekend thoughts...

Hey there :) Sorry it took a few days... but work was crazy!!! We have the computer back. We got it back on Thursday. We ended up getting a motherboard/chip/RAM combo from TigerDirect.ca, but went to the actual store. Our old motherboard only worked with SD RAM and apparently you can't get them anymore. So we had to get a motherboard for DDR RAM, and luckily it came with it. So, regardless, we bought it. And a set of speakers. This new motherboard has the ability for 5.1 channel surround sound. Rick set it up on Friday and it's actually really cool, I'm impressed (and these days it takes a lot to impress me... and more to even make me notice theres a difference!!). So we've been popping things into the computer and playing music that sounds good with the bass (as the speaker set came with a subwoofer). It's amazing how much more you enjoy music when it sounds amazing :)

We went grocery shopping today. Probably spent too much money, but what can you do, right? ;) We got a lot of stuff (and yes, Michele, we're turning healthy again... sorta) and we should be okay for a while now. But we found a few things - have you tried that new water by Aquafina? There are two new flavours, Citrus and Raspberry... we've been looking for them all over... today we found a case of flavoured water by Nestle - Orange, Strawberry, Raspberry and Banana (I'm only partly sure about the banana, but there are 4 flavours). I was very happy to see it, and we bought it right away. We also got salad (and dressing) strawberry's, banana's, some meat, cereal... lotsa stuff I cannot remember... but we're going to make orange-strawberry-banana smoothies tomorrow... I'm looking forward to that!!

I'm feeling kind of off these days. Nothing seems to make me happy, I seem depressed all the time.... maybe I am. I keep meaning to call the doctor and put me back on anti-depressants, but I keep forgetting... I'll have to book an appointment with him soon to go and talk to him... I feel like shit. Rick is trying to keep me happy, but it's few and far between that I am. I don't like this feeling. I don't know how to stop it, though. Sometimes it's getting like it'll never stop. I try to focus on the positive... but there are times when I just cannot. I'm hoping it'll pass... I'm hoping it'll get better....

Oh hey, on another note (and decidedly more positive one) we heard from Michele!! She emailed us on Thursday. Her work is good so far, Bill had a working job interview on Friday (I hope that went well!!), they found a house that they move to next week. Things seem to be working well for them, and I'm glad!! I miss them like crazy!!!! But I'm happy for them. Oh, Rick found this webside (theride.ca I think) that has some pictures of M&B on them. It was cool looking through them all. I honestly never realized all the equipment they wear at times!!

Tisha wrote some new blogs lately, too. It was cool to read them and catch up with her. Hopefully she reads ours as well!!! It seems like that's the only way to keep up with her, even when we're IN the same country!!

Anyway... it's getting late. I'm going to finish off my chat with Al (the friend that took me out for dinner) and then head to bed. I didn't sleep well last night. I look forward to hopefully doing so tonight. Til later...
