My guts are broiling. I don’t know why. I had pizza from Panago and it is my usual order twice a month or so but tonight it really left me feeling ill. I had to come home so I could take a pill and put on my jammies. I am sure it is just indigestion …
Today’s productivity was overshadowed by care for a client. I have known him for decades and twice in as many months he has said if his business stuff doesn’t get sorted out he will kill himself. I always respond and feel like I have talked him down but it is a big weight. I know …
I have begun to think this blog has become more of a grocery list of my daily steps. I probably should go back and read my own story to know for sure. The fact is there are so many things that run through my mind, so many opinions and moments that I am not sure …
My day completely alternated between resting my body on the couch which was still sore from the slip yesterday and working on the kitchen. I finished most of the wall covering and installed the shelf which it seems needed to be for my teapot collection which is odd since I rarely drink tea. The pink …
The best part of my day was picking up a tray of goodness from the Guedes household and bringing it to share with Ken and Ashlée. We decorated cookies. Ashlée did the top row, Ken the second and then mine After a delicious nosh Ken wanted to take a nap and Ash suggested we go …
I had lowered expectations of this day and I needn’t have. From the first minute of the day to the last I had beautiful moments. I didn’t even have a coffee before I was making breakfast Bundt cakes to take to Rae’s (2), Campbell’s and Ashlée’s. It took a couple hours but was so enjoyable. …
I got a decent timed start on the day without rushing too much. Headed in to work and was gobsmacked, first by the temperature that said minus 16 but radio announced feels like minus 22 and then by the beauty. I love the clean contrast of everything in the snow. A couple times today I …
So many moments in this day… got up and got wrapping, my garbage man was coming and i had presents for his girls and a snowman full of snacks as well. I got them all wrapped and ready to leave on the porch for him. I also wanted to bring the Campbell’s gifts to work …
Awoke to winter having arrived with a vengeance. I could tell by the sounds or lack of as I opened my eyes, confirmation came when a friend commented on Facebook. I leapt up to look out and see a winter wonderland. Missy so desperately wanted to go out but was clearly not impressed with what …
Today was freaking amazing, until it wasn’t. The love list: It snowed My new stove was delivered My cat comes when she is called more often I managed to get the community theatre books caught up and reports filed before the board meeting tomorrow I made some money I sold my old stove at half …
I finally watched Friday’s Mandalorian. I cried! It was just so great. I then wrapped my Grandson, Lukas’s 11th birthday present and took it over to him. Of course I got cheesy and said May the Force be with you, when I handed it to him and he guessed right away and was thrilled. I …
Holy shmoly, what a day! Up in time for the Monthly ABC Zoom. There were technical difficulties to begin but once we were on the conversation flows easily and it is great to catch up. I sure appreciate the Woodman’s hosting from Santa Barbara. The poor Hearndens and Yau’s couldn’t stay long as they are …
I got up in time to clear out the cupboards in anticipation of the plumber coming at 4 to put lines in for the water conditioner. Now there are even more piles of stuff on my floor rather than in the cupboard. Headed off to work and was gifted a delightful combo by Keri. She …
It is late and I am just beginning to write because for over an hour Missy has been outside exploring and I was not sure she was coming back. She shot out the door and went on and explore. Every 15 or so minutes I would go out and call her. Once she looked at …
Today had so many good things that it would be hard to pick my favourite. I started with a lovely message from my Mrs. H in Kent. A good day always starts that way! I dropped off a gift for my friend Diana’s birthday and she also happens to be my granddaughter’s daycare provider. As …
I heard a knock on the door and there was masked up Lukas here to pick up his uncle Jake’s Christmas presents to go in the box Ashlée and Rae were putting together to mail today. Lukas was very happy to get to see the cat first. She peeked around a corner at him. I …
I opened my advents and found another great decoration and deodorant. That reminds me of my cousins in Crescent Beach who always got toiletries in their stockings. 9 am was my appointment with the Ear Nose and Throat specialist. It began with a hearing test and the tech remembered me from last time a couple …
A day late but I lingered in bed with a coffee and watched the Mandalorian before getting busy working on my kitchen. I found some of the tiles not sticking well and a bit crooked so I redid them. When I moved one of the outlets it sparked at me and I had already had …
9 months have gone by since we became fully aware of Covid-19 and isolations and shutdowns began. 9 months, enough time to grow a human. That really puts things in perspective. I had a lot of time to think about things today. And nothing made me sad. That is a great thing. I woke to …
