Dead senator That, to me, defines the state of mind of the nation to the south of us. I squirm when I hear the news at how close the election is. It seems the standard for the Greatest Nation on Earth has created a very low bar. I know so many fine American folks and …
Today didn’t involve earning much money but I got a lot done prepping to do so. had to finish getting access to PST and GST and ROE and received a new signed contract with an interesting new business. I think the manager of the space I work in may be getting frustrated with me as …
This was a special Monday. It was the day I began charging out on my own terms, no longer contracted to anyone who isn’t the person I am doing the work for. No more middle women or men, just clients whom I like and like me and what I do. It was a long tiring …
Changed the clocks, did some laundry, checked in with friends. Lots of changes going on in my circle. I want to be supportive, am working to refill my tank so I can be. One of the ways I can remove stress is to get things off my list. As the Tech Director for the community …
Of course I had the terrible interrupted sleep of alcohol. That combined with residual stress from October had me annoyed at being up early. I simply made some coffee, searched and found the sunglasses I’d promised Aiden and settled on the couch to watch mindless tv for a while. Leyton showed up to help me …
Friends stepped up to get me through this day. there were tears and drama and fun and food and done, just done…. It was my last official day working for the firm and things did not go as smoothly as they could have. I got through the tears, anger and disappointment thanks to Keri, Layla, …
Today was so much less stressful. Got a lot done in my allotted time even with odd interruptions. I was watching the front desk of the co-working space as Cindy was away and Sean had to go for a meeting. The first people to arrive after he left were the people he was meeting with …
I filed my last mandatory government filing for the month tonight. I caught a big mistake I had made in time to fix it thankfully. And it was in the client’s favour which is even better. A good part of my day was taken up with client’s old and new. I look forward to having …
Today was full as always, waking up and at my desk before 7 again. My client, Steven, came to drop things on his way through from Fruitvale, my daughter Ashlée and I made a trip to the bank together to cash a cheque that I didn’t need to be there for after all and I …
I made it home after 9 tonight, and a good indicator of my tired soul is that I burst into tears when I opened the fridge to see last nights leftovers i had forgotten about. Rice Pilaf with Tuna was exactly what I needed. I am stuffed up like a cold is trying to settle …
I awoke after a decent sleep to a beautiful morning and a mama Doe in the yard with a couple of naughty kids. I watched one being annoyed and butting the other away and then realized I should film. I just became entranced watching them eat all the Willow leaves. Mom left them there and …
I crawled out of bed and threw on long johns, flannel and a hat and gloves to go out and start a fire and get set up for my ABC Zoom session. It was incredibly gorgeous out and -10 Celsius or 14 F. I really enjoyed catching up with everyone who could make it. Do …
By the time I walked out to my car the snow had begun, when I returned from work it had ended and there was an icy crust over everything. Today was filled with stressful deadlines and encouraging texts and email. Seems word is out that I am freelancing… I need to be careful not to …
As shit gets real and others are not even attempting to see the big picture, as communication once again fails, as life moves on and the river flows (or circles as a character i once knew would say), I need to remember to rise above. I grew up with that, Roger Whittaker was often heard …
I have such a work load that I am waking up at 5 thinking about client’s books which then leads me to get up and get to the office before 7. May as well be getting it done rather than laying around stewing about it . I did over a 10 hour day when all …
Whether at work or play, along the way, through the years I have had the gift of meeting incredible, regular human beings. They live their lives not expecting to leave an impression on your soul. Kevin and Julie Porter and their two sons are a family that were clients of the firm I worked for …
Today was honestly the second time i have picked out countertop via media rather than in person. Porter-Hill Countertops in Surrey BC are my go to . Not only do they do great work but Kevin and Julie are delightful human beings. I send them my measurements, photos of the surrounding colours and Julie suggests …
Running to the altar like a track star Body like a back road, i know every curve like the back of my hand If the world was ending, you’d come over, right? Is there anyone out there, its getting harder and harder to breathe Picture perfect, you don’t need no filter You’re my motorcycle mama …
