A Wickedly Awesome Time!

So I should be going to bed seeing as I'm exhausted, but I've just had such a wonderfully fun day that I wanted to write about it before the excitement wore off. I went to the PNE today with a friend from work, Patricia. Now, I may know what you're thinking, the PNE? We've all been there, what's so great about it? Well it was different for me because I wasn't going to Playland, only the PNE so it was like I was discovering a whole new world. We had list of the Top Ten Things to do at the PNE, so we knew what we wanted to do, so when we got there around 11am, we looked at the schedule of events and decided where to go. The first things we did was to see the Superdog show, I'm not a big dog lover, but this show was so cool! They had at least 15 dogs who raced around an obstacle course and did a dancing concert and caught frisbees, I yelled so much and so loud that I'm sure I'm going to wake up with no voice tomorrow. It was such a blast! I highly recommend it! After that we went to the Motocross show, those guys are amazing with what they can do on those motorcycles, the flips and the tricks, they go up a ramp, fly 30 feet in the air and while in the air they perform very dangerous tricks, either doing a handstand on the bike or putting their legs over the handle bars, it's crazy! Definetly a heartattack in waiting for us nurses as I can only imagine what would happen if something went wrong, but none the less they are very talented and entertaining. We then saw the Sand Castle sculptures, the pig and duck races, went shopping in the marketplace, did a tour of the prize home, bought tickets for the prize home and saw two horse races at Hastings Race Track. Besides the dog show being a highlight, the most fun thing we did was take a virtual tour with the Snowbirds. We happened to find a simulator and decided to go on it, well, we had so much fun and laughed so hard, it was great! We sat in the back row and were the only two in there, it really felt like we were flying, we did twists and spins and rollovers and went upside down, so cool! The was the best thing because we just happened to find it and it turned out to be the highlight of our day! I've never had so much fun and been so excited and it was just a wickedly awesome time! Plus we ate all the amazing food, elephant ears, funnel cakes, BBQ chicken, mini donuts, donairs, all very yummy!

A sign?

So, about one month ago, when we were up at the cabin, I experienced some pain, not in my stomach, more in my bladder/uterus region. It was so painful I almost had Rob drive me to 100 Mile House Hospital, I guess you could call it cramping but it was a steady pain and every time I moved it got worse. It eventually went away, I slept it off and had not thought about it since then. Yesterday, I worked some overtime and when my shift ended, I all of a sudden got the same pain, it got worse as I walked, but I made it out to my car, came home and then Rob took me to a walk-in clinic. Seeing as pain is a sign that something is wrong and this was the second time I was experiencing it I figured I should get it checked out. So the doctor at the walk-in didn't really seem concerned, he said it could be uterine cramping, I don't have a UTI and no I'm not pregnant, so that was it, he didn't say take anything, so today was fine, but it still feels like an ache and certain movements make it seem like it will come back. I'm hoping it won't though.
