Well, L received a brand new mattress at university, just a couple of days after she filled out the request. The original was badly soiled when she moved in. Yay, it's a good feeling. She said the lady that came in to do the switch was really grossed out by the old one, although it was partially covered in plastic. L told her she could remove the plastic and she said, 'I don't think so'.
She told me that one of her friend's moms has already been to the university 4 times to see her only daughter, she misses her so much! It hasn't even been 2 weeks since they left home. She has fallen in love with Booster Juice and tells me there is a franchise near us, so I'll have to get K to try it. They're not cheap but they are nutritious and according to her, delicious.
L is busy checking out current volunteer opportunities, and job opportunities for next summer. She says the classes are ok, just lots of homework. I took K for his annual physical and the pediatrician said to tell her that lots of homework gives you focus. She wasn't impressed with that advice, but he's full of work ethic!
Interestingly, the doctor advised me to start giving L and K Vitamin D supplements (1000 units). It applies to adults too. They are new Health Canada guidelines.
My mom got an appointment to see the cardiologist for early next week, so that's a relief. She's up and about, and refuses to slow down. She had a few episodes of shortness of breath while she was away in the U.S. The doctor there diagnosed her congestive heart failure condition. Both my mom and our family doctor are not convinced, so the cardiologist should know for sure. Maybe they're both in denial.
On an amusing note, we are having upcoming municipal elections. The incumbent councillor in our area was out canvassing early this morning. He brought his signs and posted them on a busy street corner. Then he held one and waved to us as we went by. I thought that was a nice touch, I think I'll vote for him again.

Your elections sounds like ours. We have politicians waving from the street also. The signs here are crazy though. There are waaaay too many.
I'm so glad L received a new bed. I've heard about a university in the U.S. having to fumigate the whole dorm because of bedbugs.
This post is full of good news. So glad your mom got her appointment. I know it will be a relief to get some confirmation on her diagnosis.
And hurray for the new mattress! That's pretty bad that even the staff was grossed out. Blech.
Interesting about the vitamin D. We started taking it last winter and I have to say we felt pretty good through the season. We've started taking it again recently, especially since the first cold of the season hit our house.
