Today was a weird day!
Mark went to watch our Canadian Boys win the gold and I stayed at home with Grace.
After her nap, all she wanted was "Daddy?" so we went outside to play a bit.
After 40 minutes of playing with shovels and desperately breaking down the little bit of snow and ice we have head "Food?" and realised it was time to give up!
We came in and had lunch and WHAM! I got so tired I could barely walk and Grace was still full of energy. What a delima. So we went to her room, closed the blinds and made it dark. I then made myself comfy on the floor. I heard "night night" and I then fell a sleep but don't panic, the door was closed and she can't get into anything! She did however take it upon herself to read to me! Every time she would pick a new book, she would sit on my face to read it...
Like I said...I was a weird day!
I am still tired but I think maybe I pushed a little bit too hard outside.

Small world
Today I'm still tired. I didn't get much sleep again and I am starting to not like this at all!
I got a bit weak today and my legs felt odd. I felt like I was walking on a trampoline. You know how you walk and it feels like your legs kinda bounce back towards you but you aren't doing anything to cause it...Very strange!
I can't help but want to keep moving at moments like that in case my legs go numb again.
This afternoon I went to the bank again and opened up the bank account for the fundraising.
For those of you who didn't know...I am French Acadian. Not very many English speaking people notice my accent and I try very hard not to have one. Why? I'm not sure.
I write this because at the bank, Matt my banker asks...
"Where are you from?"
I say "New Brunswick"
"Where 'bouts?"
"Eh!..Bathurst" (no one ever knows were any place in the maritimes and they always say Oh yeah...)
"Yeah! That's what I thought"
"..." "..." "What do you mean?"
"I could tell by your accent"
WHAT!!!!
Anyway that was very odd but there you have it...Small world!
I now have the account set up and there may be a way to get the Branch to help fund raise!

Bank..'ed
Well I had a visit with the banker today...
WOW... do I make this easy, hard or a bit of both..
Here's the deal.
I can keep this small for the time being just to get the imaging done and open a personal savings account. This would cut expenses down and have less in monthly fees.
I could go big right away and then be set if I have to fundraise for the surgery too.
This one involves going to a registries office, registering a "business" which would either be a Charity, a Fundraising or hmm.. the word escapes me at the moment...
After this, I need to meet with the Business link to see what needs to be done to issue tax receipts, see what paper work needs to be drawn up to not have to pay taxes and then give all of this info to the bank. From there I send the info on to those who want to help...
So much to do!
I have not slept in 4 nights now. I think partially because there is just so much to do in a small amount of time.
I have decided to help me not stress out that I will open a savings account. I meet Matt at the bank tomorrow to do this. For now it will be under my name. I will send you the info as soon as I get it.
Once things settle a bit in my little busy world I will be finding out all of the information and get the business account. In the mean time I will keep track of every donation and hopefully I can have tax receipts issued...wouldn't that be great!
