Tink’s cuddling in my lap right now. She’s a furball of purring mess, as I’d like to refer to her as. The girl doesn’t quit. Little does she know we’re leaving her for three days this weekend to go on a mini-vacation to Gabriola Island. Poor girl. Hopefully she won’t leave us any lovely unwanted “surprises” that would require some scrubbing and lime spray, if you know what I mean. I hear that with cats, if you want to detract them from doing something, you either spray lime juice or put lemon slices on something (like the couch), or put mint leaves on it. I think I’m going to newspaper the couch and put mint leaves all over it so she doesn’t leave a mess. Hopefully that will work. Unfortunately we can’t newspaper everything, but the important things are the couch, and close up all the bedrooms and bathroom.

I had to get my asthma medication refilled. This stuff is getting expensive. I’m glad I don’t have to use any other medication as they can get quite bulky and annoying. If I did have medication to use, I’d probably end up using an air nebulizer, otherwise known as a portable oxygen concentrator. because it’s quicker and seems better to use with medication. When I went to the doctor’s up here to establish a family doctor for Husband and me, she ended up giving me free medication for my asthma. Yeah, you heard right. Free. Free. I was so amazed I just stared at her. Haha. In the states, I never get free medication. Even the “samples” I have to pay for. Every single time I go see a doc up here, granted I have to pay for the visit since I’m not Canadian and don’t have Canadian insurance, I still get my medications for free, like when I had pneumonia a few years ago. I was so afraid of going to a clinic in the states cuz I knew I wouldn’t be able to pay for it (this was before I had benefits at a job or at school), so I went to one in Canada. It was about $30 I think, for the visit, and the doc gave me free antibiotics for a week. That cleared me up and I was okay. Healthcare in Canada kicks ass, man.
