I had to go into work today to meet with my employer regarding my gradual return to work. Well after they read the report from my physiotherapist and the fact that my doctor wants me to have a CT scan the employer realized that it might be a little premature trying to get me back to work. I was a bit bummed by that, as I really do want to get back to work, but at the same time I want to make sure that I am ready. I continue to experience intermittent numbness in my forearm and index finger, and I get the most terrible pain and burning down my spine and through my right shoulder. So I guess until there is further investigation I will be off for a while longer.
So as I said I was feeling a tad bummed so hubby and I decided to go vehicle hunting. I am wanting to trade in my baby....yes sell my wonderful Mustang convertible.....I have finally realized that it really isn't practical for where we live, nor spacious enough for when we have the children or want to go off road. I am looking at a sport utility vehicle, something that has good cargo space, space for the children and well that has some character to it. I would ideally like heated seats and a sunroof and not to mention low kilometers on it if at all possible.....is that a tall order? Maybe....I test drove a couple of vehicles today.....depending on what one dealership is willing to give me for a trade in I might have a vehicle by the weekend. Hubby has also been actively looking on ebay....oh my you can get some great deals....but most if not all of the vehicles we look at on ebay are cross the border and mostly in Florida or Texas....but hey....I have never been to either state so that could be an adventure all on it's own.
Not much more to say, hope life is treating you all well....cheers.....

Love the photos!
I also had a Mustang at one time - a '64 - I loved that car - but they are fairly small.
I remember when I was a-stay-at-home mom I used to be so glad when the summer holidays were over and the kids back in school - for about a week that is. One gets so used to their company and don't realize until they are gone how much you really miss them.
You have a great blog and I'll be back for sure.
(sigh) I miss my mustang. I'm a mini van mom now and I hate it!! No style whatsoever, but it gets the best gas mileage for the size and it fits everyone plus all our crap, so I guess it will have to do.
A Mustang eh? Now that is one car that I always had dreamed of owning. Now it's a Hummer I dream of! When will I ever grow up! All the best in looking for a vehicle.
I cannot imagine how it feels to not be with my kids. I hope your opportunities increase as time goes on. It sounds like they enjoy being around you as well.
That photo of the woodpecker.... Love it!
Take care! :-)
I know that quiet feeling that fills the house after the grandkids go home. Hope you enjoyed every moment with the boys.
Sorry it's been so long since I've visited but I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year..
Happy Vehicle hunting!
xo
I had one too. 1966. It was a good car.
I knew you'd really miss the boys, and I hope you feel better, RN.
A Mustang!? Sweet!
I had a mustang II hatchback in the late 70', someone rear ended me and totaled it. It was a dreadful yellow.
Can't say I miss it.
I haven't read many blogs in over a week, nor have I been posting much. Glad yours is at the top of google reader.
Glad your getting some better. Looks like you had a fabulous time skating.
