First I will address my battle with expectations.. as an empath I can often sense the possibilities in a person rather than the life they are choosing to lead. I want to believe they have my best at heart as I have theirs but too often I am disappointed. This has been a lifelong struggle. …
My Facebook belies the fact that I am not the good old fashioned, worship her grandkids kind of Nana. once upon a time a conversation occurred where extended family were bemoaning the fact I had never had a ‘regular’ grandmother. It’s very true, I adored all three of my grandmas but they were each unusual …
My entire day was based on how I could get as much done as possible and avoid the heat. I was up relatively early and out with a bucket of soapy water on my knees scrubbing the algae away in the pool. I tried out a tool I bought last year and it was perfect …
I tried to get as much done as possible before it got too hot. by that I mean, aside from dishes and laundry I decided to trim my Willow and Maple and mow the lawn. By the time I was finished cleaning up inside and out, I was beat from the heat and couldn’t bring …
It’s not a day I genuinely look forward to. It is the anniversary of my Mom and sisters drowning when I was only 3 months old. I found out last night it is also the anniversary of Sean and Diane’s wedding and this pleases me. It is a positive reason to enjoy the day. Sadly …
July is usually a very busy month for me. It is heavy with June yearend files, GST filings, WCB reports and usually MusicFest. In its stead this year I set up my own office, took on new and previous clients and adjusted to the new norm. It was all going pretty smoothly but I ran …
I have had a very good day. I moved mountains of work from the to do to the done pile, got treated to take out lunch brought to me and a nice visit with a previous coworker and current friend, Varghese. I worked up to the time to leave and meet my son-in-law Ken for …

Have had incredible service from Service BC and CRA in the past two days Lost at crib Watered indoor and outdoor plants Fed George Texted with friends Approved new company logo for signage …
Awoke to swollen spots on my hands from many slivers off the pressure treated post I was using for leverage yesterday. I stopped by my daughters but she was showering for work so I arrived at the Groundfloor and asked the manager, a Mom of 4 if she could help. 7 or 8 pulled and …
Up and at the chores, had been way too long since I’d even done my dishes. Diane was a huge blessing, coming to help me roll the nearly empty pool over and take all my recycling away. Off we went to Home Depot to pick up another section of fence and the missing screws from …
I woke up this morning thinking about my boy. He turns 26 today and I love all my children completely but Jake was my absolute choice. I did not choose to have him in the first place but I definitely chose to keep him. Not everyone has a story like Jake and I but all …
Today was a struggle. I honestly believe that my brain thinks my heart is physically broken so it is sending fluid to try to heal it. This week especially each time I take an emotional hit the inflammation gets so bad that I couldn’t even swallow some rice for lunch and my breathing gets very …
In a mad, mad world, I often wonder why I am where I am. I believe truly that the reason for every movement in my life will come clear eventually.. ok, maybe not some of those late night bar choices, although sometimes I wonder if they remember me fondly.. My day started overwhelmed as the …
Also known as Toni with an i. He’s my dad‘s kid brother. Growing up, my uncle Toni and his family had the life I thought I wanted. They lived in the area of town poised on the edge of rich neighborhoods. Crescent Beach was the spot to hang out. they had a trampoline and a …
It was a pretty great day! Got files finished, onsite training for 5.5 hours in masks and survived just fine, returned to go shopping for Motorcycle gear for a retiring Board Member with one of my clients, celebrated a son-in-law for his birthday with delicious ice cream cake from a local small business, had good …
I want to write a long and very interesting blog tonight but really I’ve just had a day of work and play and heat. It is 10:58 PM and 27°C in my home because I was enjoying myself too much trying to plan a vacation in August with my bubble extended family and didn’t come …
Before I went to bed I posted a picture of the lights at the Theatre on my Facebook wondering if anyone was interested. Three friends shared it and I awoke to interest from a person in Kamloops as well as further inquiry later in the day. I got permission from the Board to make deals …
I got 11.5 hours sleep last night and still am tired! Really needed to catch up apparently. By the time I was up and about fully it was time to get ready to go meet Travis Bondy who was going to assist me cataloguing and cleaning up the Tech room at the Community Theatre. We …
Today started off lovely. It is Fabulous Friday in my Comox Valley Facebook land. I decided it was heels and a dress day. I feel that if I keep wearing them I will always be able to keep wearing them so it was a good day to do so. Got right to work where the …
