I spent time before work wiping down the outside of the bottles, using Goo Gone to get the rest of the label stickiness off. Got to the office around 9 and organized the to do list for the day. Immediately it was thrown off by a call from the Culligan Man. James wanted to come …
More stuff off the list today! Ripped off all the faux brick paneling in the kitchen, replaced the white range hood with the stainless one I bought for $10 and washed down the walls ready for the new countertops that are supposed to show up tomorrow. There were several layers of finish through the years. …

I had the weirdest feeling today that I am in a strange one sided conversation with the world. If you have recently joined this convo, please read what you can to check in. If you would like to know more, message me. I will answer any questions and address any issues. I try to just …
The Covid lock up the common area solution is pretty. I went and signed papers for access to the Community Theatre’s investments, completed a Mystery Shop for Imperial at a Cardlock which was quite a different experience as I have never even used one before, picked up a bottle drying rack and cleaner at the …
It is 9:30 and I can hardly keep my eyes open as I woke at 4:20, tried to go back to sleep and was processing work in my head so ended up at my desk before 7. I got a lot done today, like a great deal. I even was able to go to the …
I do not feel as though I am spiraling downwards any longer. It is a subtle difference but I feel it. I was mostly able to concentrate on what I needed to do today. I managed to put in over 10 hours of volunteer work. It was easier to do that during the week than …
Full on self preservation mode. I am trying hard to follow my creed to be a good person. I only have two modes right not though, either bite my tongue or full disclosure. I know I am doing the best I can but also know I am disappointing some people and will not meet all …
It was Sunday 03-22-20 when I began this page-a-day blog. I went back and read about that day and it feels as though I could copy and paste a good deal of it. I no longer work for someone else’s firm but I am back in the same boat physically and mentally. Time for me …
Started my day with The Monthly ABC Zoom. Lots of good chat and catching up. Found out one of us has Covid-19 which was shocking especially as she looks so fine. I understood that she had a headache and no sense of smell, other than that, just fine. All of the talk bust have just …
I had a pretty peoply day. Jumping from one thing to another, working hard to concentrate and prioritize. Assisting with new ways to connect for the two board meetings I have Monday and Tuesday, being highly aware of the crack down necessary at the space I work in. I really worked hard to not snap …
I really struggled with inflammation this morning, coughing up a lot of phlegm. I always need to get it under control before going out in public, especially in these ‘Rona Days. It is exhausting when it is bad, I want to laze around, not try to concentrate. I did, however, go in to work and …
Los Texmaniacs, that is what I am listening to and I was blessed today to be asked to share that on a live stream for Key City Theatre. They do a regular item on Wednesdays and not long before today’s I was asked to fill in for the time slot. That was exciting and I …
Started the day rescuing the blow up decor from the unusually heavy and wet snow. I also needed to knock it off my Maple where I could reach as two years ago a huge branch broke off from a dump of early snow. Shoveled the whole parking area as I don’t like when it freezes …
I wonder if everyone in the States isn’t in mourning by now. Surely with the death rate from Covid-19 and everything else everyone must know someone who has died. 245789 have died in the US as of today compared to 11027 in Canada. Population comparison is 328 million to 37 million so the numbers are …
I started my day making a coffee, grabbing some mandarin oranges and climbing back in to bed to watch the last couple episodes of the Mandalorian and a few episodes of the documentary about the directors etc. Had to make myself stop so I could get out in the sun and get things done. I …
I volunteered to go set up lights for a local Ktunaxa project for Truth and Reconciliation. It was important to have privacy so I went early and got everything ready for them and then left for the office for most of the day. The woman who was doing the interviewing is an indigenous police officer …
It is nearly tomorrow and I have returned home safely, shoveled my way to the door and am tucked on the couch listening to the wind shudder my home. I love Friday the 13th because I embrace the superstition and turn it into a positive for me. that seemed easier today as it was to …
Today was me caught between all my obligations. It wasn’t stressful, I was just aware that I did not earn much no matter how much I accomplished. I took care of all pressing needs and just pin-balled through the day. There were so many amazing moments that I was grateful to take from; good deep …
