Library's online resources

It's supposed to snow or rain this afternoon. It felt good to be back at the gym for a workout this morning.

A friend dropped off some cute chocolate treats for the kids yesterday while we were at a movie. K forced us to see 'College Road Trip', there wasn't much else on and he wanted to do something fun as he's been studying so much. It was an 'ok' movie in spite of the bad ratings. Donny Osmond has a role in it. We had to wake M up as he started snoring part way through the movie. We can't stomach his choice of movies (the Rambo type stuff).

It's amazing how the Easter chocolate prices have dropped after Easter, but how much of it can you eat? Better to keep it out of the house.

Went to the library today to get L a book for school. The libarian helped me with the search and it turns out the library's online system gives you access to the Globe and Mail newspaper from 1844-2002 along with lots of other resources. I was aware of Worldbook and a few others, but it's a good place to turn if you can't find a lot of information on your topic.

I also renewed my blood pressure prescription and checked with the pharmacist about my recent overdose. He said if I didn't get dizzy, or have any other noticeable effects I should be fine, no cumulative effect. He said a lot of people do stuff like that, that's why they like to prescribe one single pill where possible. Some people can't even remember whether they took the pill or not. That's happened to me a few times.
