I think. I cut the cord officially today and am as of July 1st self-employed again. The day started with a lovely client, Stacy dropping off squash plants, lettuce and rhubarb. I moved the pool off the grass to assess what needs to be done and found my spray nozzle under it! After that I …
I have been hiding a terrible act of waste. Those who care about these things know that I am trying to do my part to save the world. I recycle, reuse, & repurpose everything (if you watched yesterday’s post you would have seen my ‘yardart’ which was mocked). I compost garden waste, just got my …
I was sitting up late one Sunday night on Salt Spring Island and decided I missed theatre and extra work so I searched Auditions and coming across a new show that was being cast, decided to apply. The very next day I received a request for an audition tape and made one of my commute, …
Today I don’t feel like doing anythingI just wanna lay in my bedDon’t feel like picking up my phoneSo leave a message at the tone‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything Oh yeah, Bruno, I feel ya. Or maybe a little Elton.. And I guess that’s why they call it the bluesTime on my …
I believe I may finally have hit the age where I can’t lose too much sleep. Dear Emmy, due to my forgetting to limit liquids after dinner, peed the bed just after midnight and then awoke starving and thirsty at 4:04 am. A snack and settled again in my bed so that at 6 I …
And on the 84th day it became just a diary. I don’t think I could keep calling it my Covid-19 blog once I started putting a toe out into the world and letting it come in to mine. At some point along the way I think I became a hermit rather than an isolator. I …
I had a lot ruminating today about Black Lives Matter but I am worn out and need to give the subject full attention. I will, randomly, soon.
Today was tough, I am not going to sugar coat it. I think I am doing okay and then a wave of heavy settles in. I have to concentrate that much harder and I check and recheck myself. And then I make a mistake. Rarely do I make one I can’t fix and I am …
so, I slept better with the machine but woke up with terrible foreboding, as if the string of loss was not over. I suspect it is really stress due to the fact I am about to make a huge life change, again, that will likely bring my income level down. That comes part and parcel …
I got a call yesterday from the place I get my sleep machine checked, etc. They were just doing a follow up to last time I was there. It suddenly occured to me that my ‘post nasal drip’ that may be causing the inflammation from my lungs up (no excuse for the parts below) could …
Back to work today – meh, paid the bills, earned my keep, all is right with the world. The first thing that truly made me smile was when Ashlée showed up with these: Before Jake moved away he dropped all his daughter’s things at her Mom’s house which overwhelmed her and she promptly took a …
There was nothing about this day that made me want to wake up. During the night every time I barely came out of REM sleep I was doing the same bookkeeping entry over and over and over so I kept going back and back to sleep. When I eventually woke up I had a message …
I had an alarm set to wake and be ready for my Zoom visit with the ABCs. Part of me didn’t want to as I wasn’t up to small talk and part of me wanted to as I needed uplifting things in my life. I am glad I did. We were fewer than last time …
I slept and every time my eyes opened I would say ‘no’ and fall asleep again until I finally felt like I had had enough sleep to survive the day. I got up and started to organize things and headed upstairs where Rosie made me a delicious poached egg breakfast which I always think of …
I didn’t sleep very well or long and in the brightness of the early morning I decided to just get out of bed. I didn’t feel well at all though and I just sat on the couch dejected after realizing I had forgotten the crochet hook. I brought my blanket to finish. Rosie managed to …
I wanted to share the beauty of the day, I awoke to a beautiful breakfast, after preparation of snacks i was on the road to head from Blind Bay to Lac La Hache. my mission for this journey was to meet a friend from Salt Spring Island who was bringing a box of paperwork from …
I woke up and tried to process the events of last evening as I got things ready at home and packed my car and proceeded to head out. I have taken banked overtime for the rest of the week in order to meet friends from Salt Spring Island in Lac La Hache BC as they …
I wanted to write about all the great things that happened in this day, the eve of my vacation time. I wanted to keep the great feeling I had after an exhausting day of payroll for so many companies that was improved by an invitation to the office for a bevie after work to celebrate …
I awoke too early after last night to the sound of all three of my children’s text tones. Seems we had a group text going to inform us all that poor Jake with his very loaded vehicle got away early to head west but got a flat tire not even three hours away outside Castlegar. …
