Back to normal...

Life in 2009 has been interesting to say the least but it finally appears to be returning to a normal rhythm. I still have bronchitis and a couple sore spots from getting hit by the truck but I have resumed most of my daily activities. I hope to resume running by Friday....that is my time limit for bronchitis so hopefully my body will cooperate! :)
I finally gave Watson a bath and a haircut which he desperately needed. We had kept putting it off since the groomer that we have used here never listens to what we want so we needed to find a new one. Finding a new groomer is difficult so Watson was looking pretty gray and shaggy. I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to groom him myself. I have to say, I did a pretty good job and I saved us $50. Now that I know I can do it maybe Watson will get bathed more frequently!
Yesterday I went shopping for ice skates. Ice Skates are another one of those things we didn't bring with us from the States that we should have brought. Oh well, I am actually happy that I was forced to buy new skates here b/c the skates I bought are so much nicer that my old skates. I'm looking forward to skating with some friends while the kids are in school. I also bought the same skates for Sofia so hopefully we can get a lot of skating in on the weekends. The nice thing about the skates I bought is that they are adjustable for size so they should fit Sofia for the next couple years. Ali's feet are too small and I can't find any skates that fit her so we will have to continue to rent skates for her.
Today I'm off to the insurance company to get reimbursed for prescriptions but also to find out how I'm suppose to pay the ambulance company since it is the first time we have received a bill for anything medical. The medic told us the insurance will pay it but I don't know if that means we pay it and the insurance reimburses us or if the insurance company will pay it directly. It is always interesting to go to the insurance office.

*Update - I went to insurance company and turns out the ambulance should have just taken my insurance info and not given me an invoice. I will head to the ambulance office next week. Another adventure!
