Bee & her 'Wheatabix' bathroom floor

Bee, rather than respond, I thought I'd take this into a post because I found your post so descriptive and interesting.  Can you imagine building with material like this.  Boggles the mind even if it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, a Canadian saying as well...wonder if it originated in Britain...we are after all, subject to the homeland...and so, porridge with brown sugar...only way to eat oatmeal...and bananas and brown sugar; french fries with vinegar, not ketchup...that's so U.S. (if you're not from PQ (Province of Quebec, next to our province of Ontario) and have gravy on your 'chips/fries' and call it Poutine.  Gross!)  Bee, I sure hope you get your soggy flooring fixed..I should imagine winter is not a good time to have a soggy bathroom floor.

It is 8:14 pm in Ontario, Canada.  The rain is drizzling down in a very friendly way which means our chimney which has flashing around it that is not working properly and allowing water to trickle down into himself's workshop in the basement will not do so this time after the two storms we had recently which slashed down in a torrential rainfall...the positive side of this is the fact that he's beginning to clear out some of his junk from his workshop cleaning up the water pooling on the floor....he's the proud owner of one hundred or so historical extention cords with two prongs instead of the newer version of three prongs.  One never knows when one will need such a collection of extention cords.  Some museum may wish to lay claim to them, one day.

I am sitting here becoming familiar with neuralgia.  Seems instead of black fly bites, which I felt certain I had, my massage therapist last Thurs. discreetly said:  I think you have shingles over top of your left ear.  Indeed, upon closer sideways inspection, it appeared she was correct.  Last time I had them, a mild case on my tummy, it felt like I had the flu.  When anyone said:  shingles are so painful, I scoffed and said, I was over them before I knew I had them.  Well, it's come back to bite me this time.  Indeed, while I have a mild case, I've had shooting pains up the left side of my head that at one point prompted me to send my son an email to tell him what to do with my worldly goods.  Thankfully, it's easing up some now.  I've found that putting my finger in my ear when the pain starts, helps.  Trouble is, I can't sleep with my finger in my ear.  My homeopath has given me something which is helping as I don't respond well to mainstream medicine.  When I ask him if he thought it would work, he rolled his eyeballs, looked at the picture of Dr. Hanneman and said:  it's good enough for the Royal family.  And it does seem to be helping.  I hope one day westernized medicine will become integrative.
