I got up to an alarm, got showered and got ready because I was excited to Zoom with my ABC friends. in Sept 2013 a group of 18 was formed when 1 G Adventures guide, Nury , met with 7 Americans, 4 Brits & 6 Canadians in Lima, Peru, to begin a great tour that …
Yesterday was my Mom’s Birthday and today is my Dad’s Death Day. I worked, went for a walk to mail postcards to 11 random strangers across the country “From my heart to yours, a virtual hug from Cranbrook BC” worked on the two Tupperware parties I have going this weekend and arranged the neighbour two …
While I work I have the TV going across the room with the 24 hour news channel. It stays that way with me catching bits here and there until I no longer can listen anymore and switch to whatever talk show is on. It is mostly babble in the background but every once in a …
I worked hard and got a lot done today. I will be glad when all the calculations of subsidies are over signalling a return to the familiar. Of course I will spend the next few years in audit world as CRA ensures it gets back or accounts for every penny spent. At the end of …
Another day of intense concentration calculating wage subsidies. I had gained two pounds this week which was no surprise as I completely fell off the treadmill habit. and I shouldn’t have made cookies… Ashlée picked me up a bunch of prawns on sale so that will be delicious healthiness. Just as the day was ended …
It really was just a Monday, with so many things happening at the same time work-wise, that the day whirled past. It was a great moment when I got a message from an acquaintance from the building I moved out of in August 2018. He had mail for me that had already been written on …
I had no idea how gratifying this day was going to be when it was planned yesterday. My Ashlée is house sitting and asked if I would like to get out of the house and come for a distanced visit in the countryside. I decided to treat us both to take-out, yay curbside apps! Grabbed …
Took a long time to get to sleep and every time I slightly woke up I remembered the intruder. I was still only a half hour late getting started on my work. It was very hard to concentrate all day though. I was grateful to have phone training with some lovely ladies who left me …
Today was going along as usual, took the time to write out some postcards to the grandkids, mailed a cookie to a friend, dropped some off at at another family and returned to get a lot of work done. I then made some dinner and settled down to watch a zoom webinar about Trains and …
I had an email from a co-worker today about work and then he asked if I liked my ecard for my birthday which was over a week ago. I told him I didn’t get one and actually was a little sad that work hadn’t recognized it but, I am the social committee at the moment …
Still feel like I am walking through mud but I got up and got at it. First thing this morning there were messages, one from near and one from afar, reaching out to make sure I am ok. It is hard to explain that I can not edit, nor redact the parts of the day …
4 days now with stress stomach and anxiety. 4 days of being on the edge of weepy and today outright crying. 4 days of not even attempting to get my steps in….. I wonder what the significance is. WHY? why now, why me, why not, why. I am going through the motions, I doubt many …
Sundays are interesting for me, they often are a little ‘floaty’. There were several periods in my life when Sunday was my most scheduled day, my God time en masse. Over time I have come to a place that does not involve a brick and mortar faith, and these pandemic days lend themselves to shopping …
I stayed up late last night so was really looking forward to sleeping in. I had had to peel my eyes open at 7 when my alarm went off for the previous two days. Imagine my horror when I sprang awake at 6:25!! I grabbed a coffee and a snack and settled on the couch …
I tried hard to concentrate on work, I really did but the Tupperware party on Thursday Night was too much! I was so busy off and on getting it all sorted. I did have a lovely visit from a client who showed up with a Timmies coffee and a Honey Crueller! We sat about 10 …
Good thing I was not dead set on a pair of Dr. Bonnie’s as the website crashed. There were so many people I have to wonder how many pairs were government subsidized…. I was soooooo tired today, I just worked and then hosted a Tupperware Party via Facebook messenger. It was a bit of a …
Today is my beautiful middle child’s 33 birthday and I was thrilled to just yesterday have come across a bidwar item of three Original Star Trek characters. She is a fan so I bid and found out today I won. When I contacted the seller she had a huge collection and I chose 13 of …
I feel as though I spouted from a navel gazing perspective the last two days. There was something that happened in Canada that is so far removed from our nation’s psyche that I couldn’t even speak to it. The mass shooting spree that occurred in Nova Scotia is so horrific to think about that I …
