I went to a lung specialist in Edmonton on Wednesday. The doctor examined me and all of the x-rays, and in short, told me that I'm OK. He said I have 39% more of a chance of having my lung collapse again for the next year, but didn't give me many restrictions as to activities or exercise. Apparently this happens spontaneously to tall thin people. Anyway, I'm just thankful it wasn't any more serious.
Because I'm still pretty tired and get winded easily, I'm only working behind the computer at the moment, no lifting of boxes of books or packing or anything. So my boss offered to let me to use one of his computers to work at home for the time being. That starts tomorrow.
On another note, on Wednesday I also went to the college in Spruce Grove and registered. Now I am officially going!

Sibling Sillies
Last night we had hamburgers for supper, our usual Saturday night fare. Esther (3) still has trouble pronouncing "hamburger". That reminded me of what Rebecca used to call them when she was little: "hammagers". Once I said to her, "Becca, it's ham-BUR-gers." She tried valiantly to say it right, and ended up with, "Hammagerbers."

14. THE ONE PERSON/PEOPLE FROM YOUR PAST YOU WISH YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO?
My Oma Hoff. She had a stroke last year and can’t communicate or understand clearly anymore. Now I wish I had made the most of our few visits and talked to her more.

At the moment, any day that’s not a work day. :-/

17. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SUSHI OR HAMBURGER?

white rose. But if I ever see a rose the colour of blue flax, that would be my flower.
22. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL?Thanksgiving dinner. Really, I dunno. I eat whatever mom plunks in front of me. Otherwise I would have to say an Indonesian dish, such as nasi goereng or bami with pinda saus and saute and atjar tjampoer and lots of steamed vegetables.
