Just after we started this blog some 4 years ago I posted about my cholesterol. I was improving, but still under watchful eye of my doctor.

Well, after a 2 year gap in testing, I went and had a physical and the news is still good. The doctor’s office calls the results “borderline but no treatment recommended”. Very slight increases, but I’m still happy.

I don’t watch what I eat very much. MrsPages cooks incredibly delicious and incredibly healthy food, so that means my own personal extra food groups (“things you can dip in sour cream” and “things with cheese melted on them or baked inside them”) have been counteracted. Until next year’s test.

I know, I should worry more about this stuff. But… but… cheese sticks!

So, at least we’re getting a double use out of the skating rink. It’s now a wading pool as well.

Who would possibly have believed that we’d have -35C and rain within weeks of each other, in Winnipeg in February? It got above freezing in January too, then back down to -30C. The potholes are going to be monstrous come spring.

The street out front of our house is a skating rink. The slick ice is wet, so the almost unnoticeable depression at the corner has become a car trap. A large moving van got stuck spinning its wheels this morning and had to be pulled out, and we’ve watched two more cars sit on a seemingly flat surface completely unable to move.

I have a bunch of errands to run, but I don’t think anyone is going anywhere for a few days until everything freezes and the sander truck comes by.

Nice for the foundation too:
