July is usually a very busy month for me. It is heavy with June yearend files, GST filings, WCB reports and usually MusicFest. In its stead this year I set up my own office, took on new and previous clients and adjusted to the new norm. It was all going pretty smoothly but I ran …
I have had a very good day. I moved mountains of work from the to do to the done pile, got treated to take out lunch brought to me and a nice visit with a previous coworker and current friend, Varghese. I worked up to the time to leave and meet my son-in-law Ken for …

Have had incredible service from Service BC and CRA in the past two days Lost at crib Watered indoor and outdoor plants Fed George Texted with friends Approved new company logo for signage …
Awoke to swollen spots on my hands from many slivers off the pressure treated post I was using for leverage yesterday. I stopped by my daughters but she was showering for work so I arrived at the Groundfloor and asked the manager, a Mom of 4 if she could help. 7 or 8 pulled and …
Up and at the chores, had been way too long since I’d even done my dishes. Diane was a huge blessing, coming to help me roll the nearly empty pool over and take all my recycling away. Off we went to Home Depot to pick up another section of fence and the missing screws from …
I woke up this morning thinking about my boy. He turns 26 today and I love all my children completely but Jake was my absolute choice. I did not choose to have him in the first place but I definitely chose to keep him. Not everyone has a story like Jake and I but all …
Today was a struggle. I honestly believe that my brain thinks my heart is physically broken so it is sending fluid to try to heal it. This week especially each time I take an emotional hit the inflammation gets so bad that I couldn’t even swallow some rice for lunch and my breathing gets very …
In a mad, mad world, I often wonder why I am where I am. I believe truly that the reason for every movement in my life will come clear eventually.. ok, maybe not some of those late night bar choices, although sometimes I wonder if they remember me fondly.. My day started overwhelmed as the …
Also known as Toni with an i. He’s my dad‘s kid brother. Growing up, my uncle Toni and his family had the life I thought I wanted. They lived in the area of town poised on the edge of rich neighborhoods. Crescent Beach was the spot to hang out. they had a trampoline and a …
It was a pretty great day! Got files finished, onsite training for 5.5 hours in masks and survived just fine, returned to go shopping for Motorcycle gear for a retiring Board Member with one of my clients, celebrated a son-in-law for his birthday with delicious ice cream cake from a local small business, had good …
I want to write a long and very interesting blog tonight but really I’ve just had a day of work and play and heat. It is 10:58 PM and 27°C in my home because I was enjoying myself too much trying to plan a vacation in August with my bubble extended family and didn’t come …
Before I went to bed I posted a picture of the lights at the Theatre on my Facebook wondering if anyone was interested. Three friends shared it and I awoke to interest from a person in Kamloops as well as further inquiry later in the day. I got permission from the Board to make deals …
I got 11.5 hours sleep last night and still am tired! Really needed to catch up apparently. By the time I was up and about fully it was time to get ready to go meet Travis Bondy who was going to assist me cataloguing and cleaning up the Tech room at the Community Theatre. We …
Today started off lovely. It is Fabulous Friday in my Comox Valley Facebook land. I decided it was heels and a dress day. I feel that if I keep wearing them I will always be able to keep wearing them so it was a good day to do so. Got right to work where the …
I awoke so far ahead of my alarm that I made a coffee and settle on the couch with a book I am trying to read but don’t seem to make the time for. I love reading and I forget that for months and years even before I remember, in my bones, my love of …
Well, that is what my calendar says. MusicFest is over, I have driven home, taking two days to sleep and recover and am now back at my desk. Sigh, if only. Now I say that mostly because I miss the adventure, the hugs, the love of my friends I get to see every year. In …
I was at the office again before 10, having done my dishes, a load of laundry washed and hung on the line and everything watered. I love taking my bike on these cool crisp mornings. Apparently there was frost in some spots last night!! I only mention the time I started actually working as it …
I figure that should be the title of this saga for a bit. I seem to be the extra member of their family with my own home to go to after all the fun. Today I woke way before my alarm so got ready and puttered a bit before jumping on my Triumph and heading …
It’s not that I have a lot of troubles right now, it’s just whenever I experience a strong wind, this song comes to mind and wow, today it blew. There were freakish gusts. I was outside watering and the power of the surges through the trees at first unnerved me and then actually moved me …
