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 …
Randomness
Today has been busy and not unpleasant due to the people I have interacted with. It also has been a bit of a rebound from yesterday as I mostly put off thinking about the things that made me sad. The only really black cloud on Sunday was receiving official notice that Vancouver Island MusicFest was …
Sorry, I am going to start with reminiscing.. a year ago on my birthday it was Good Friday and I flew in to Victoria to see my best friend, Jackie, in Intensive Care as she had had a brain aneurysm and stroked out. She was so excited to see me and laughed out loud for …
Today started with a long walk to the couch and catching up on my programs as my Nana would say. Her were daytime soaps and mine are nighttime but pretty much the same. I am a big fan of all the Chicago’s and spinoffs as well as the Greys and spinoff. Also finally caught up …
First thing I noted was that it is supposed to snow tomorrow… I was challenged by a client to put away my snowblower this weekend. She should not have called a shutout. It was a decent day, got a lot of small fires put out. Had some funny moments and some, gee I wish this …
I feel much better today but now have basically spent 14 hours in the same chair and must get off this computer. You see, that is the problem. I spend all day in a directors chair at my dining room table in front of two screens and my iPad. And then in the evening when …
3.5 weeks working from home and living alone and feeling under the weather and out of wine and whiskey. Tired and more tired. Finished my stormtrooper, off to walk and sleep. Good night.
Monday… got up, worked.. walked… FaceTimed with Jackie.. watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri which was powerful and started making a stormtrooper until I was so tired I went straight to bed and forgot to do this…. Tuesday to follow…. Tuesday… weigh in day, lost weight. I am now where I was 6 months ago. …
Awoke thinking again about my drive into town and how much life right now reminds me of when I lived in Bella Bella. I rarely drove anywhere, rarely ate out and life was simple with entertainment primarily in your own home. As I was out driving I felt like I was learning how to be …
I learned today that people who have signed up for notices of new posts don’t get notified of anything when I edit. That is good if I go in to fix a spelling or grammatical error (yes I catch some of them) but not if I do as I have been doing and just hit …
Day 1 Sunday March 22 2020 It wasn’t really a full day but it was the day I awoke knowing it was ‘the day’. I have been experiencing terrible breathing issues since October. I don’t think this is coincidental to the fact that I took an amazing vacation to the UK in September and have …
25 crept up and smacked me. “You’re not a kid anymore!” 35 crept up and yelled in my ear “twice divorced where are you going from here?” 45 crept up and sternly admonished “that’s all you got?” 55 crept up and whispered “what’s the point?” One hour away from the day that marks the end …
When I was 2 my dad married Barb. A while later they had Greg. I can’t begin to imagine what it was like for a 24 year old woman to marry a 26 year old grieving widower with a two year old but I can confirm that she embraced her role as wife and mother …
I was busy at my desk in the school board office when I received a text from my friend Shannon wondering when I would be ready for the dinner she was making. I had said 6 but was engrossed in finishing payroll and remittances before my trip off island tomorrow. It was already 6:18 and …
I wrote this December 15 2014, the day before my friend Ross was taken off life support after a brain aneurysm. I read it last night at his Celebration of life and today would have been his 62nd birthday. RIP my friend Click Here: Far from there
