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 …
I awoke so far ahead of my alarm that I made a coffee and settle on the couch with a book I am trying to read but don’t seem to make the time for. I love reading and I forget that for months and years even before I remember, in my bones, my love of …
Well, that is what my calendar says. MusicFest is over, I have driven home, taking two days to sleep and recover and am now back at my desk. Sigh, if only. Now I say that mostly because I miss the adventure, the hugs, the love of my friends I get to see every year. In …
I was at the office again before 10, having done my dishes, a load of laundry washed and hung on the line and everything watered. I love taking my bike on these cool crisp mornings. Apparently there was frost in some spots last night!! I only mention the time I started actually working as it …
I figure that should be the title of this saga for a bit. I seem to be the extra member of their family with my own home to go to after all the fun. Today I woke way before my alarm so got ready and puttered a bit before jumping on my Triumph and heading …
It’s not that I have a lot of troubles right now, it’s just whenever I experience a strong wind, this song comes to mind and wow, today it blew. There were freakish gusts. I was outside watering and the power of the surges through the trees at first unnerved me and then actually moved me …
Woke with plenty of time to get ready for our ABC Zoom meeting. All of the A, 2 each of B & C attended. It was lovely to catch up. It really is amazing that 6.5 years after the trip we all bonded on led to this lasting friendship. We spent time in Peru in …
I realized today that I set my own stresses. I have not been put upon in any way by my new contractor but I seem to impose stress on myself to be.. extra. I think it is the office vibe I have been in for the last couple years and I need to relax in …
I woke up after my second night of great sleep and travel dreams. I often lucid dream to the point of being exhausted when I awake and left wondering when I see someone if the conversation I remember was only in my dreams. Very disconcerting. I have been having some awesome motorcycle trips in my …
Today was built on 1 million little successes. I was multipurpose Marnée, at one point Forgetting what computer I was signing into and having to stop and think about my password. I basically worked out of three different offices today doing things like payroll and training and reconciling, learning new software and assessing what needed …
I am beginning to enjoy wearing fun summer casual office clothes again. Shoes that are cute and cropped pants put a spring in my step. Of course the gorgeous day of summer yesterday was a torrential rainfall this morning but then gorgeous again by afternoon. I guess we’re having a late spring Worked a lot …
Honestly, I can’t believe this was a Monday. I enjoyed all the things I attempted today. I feel as though I am being supported and encouraged in this new direction. I really do believe the people I am working for and with appreciate what I bring to the table and are open to thinking outside …
I awoke to a gentle lick on the back of my hand that was hanging out of the covers and I knew instantly that Layla needed to go out. The shocking part was that the boys were still sleeping! 10.5 and 13 and still asleep at 8 am was a shock! I usually have to …
This morning was pretty laid back until I had a visit from the wine fairy. For some time now I have been subscribed to nakedwines.com and shipping to my son-in-law, Ken who lives in Kalispell until they get him status here in canada. Unfortunately, due to Covid I cancelled my contract as I had two …
It has been… interesting these first three days of my new schedule. I am used to the 8-4:30 minimum, living in 6 minute increments to get in my 8 hours to earn my pay. The song 9-5 hits home for a lot of people. I am still too aware of the time, feel stressed if …
I need a day off. I have been doing too many things, not making much time to just rest. It is a habit I fall into quickly when self-employed. This will change, I will settle in. Today did end up with a lot going on though especially in the wake of isolation. Date book: Run …
Canada Day has always been a family day for me. For years it was spent with my Dad and then my brother with friends and family on the water watching the fireworks most often in Ganges Harbour off Salt Spring Island. Moving to Bella Bella made the day more stressful as colonialism split the ranks. …
This will be short and sweet as I am very tired. I will likely wax poetic tomorrow. – up and at the desk, confirming what time off I have left. Need to put in 2.5 hrs. – The Campbell’s drop off Layla as they are heading to Alberta for vacation. we hit it off, she …
I can often tell how busy my day was with ordinary sorts of things by the decided lasck of photos. Today, the only pic I took was to identify a weevil with my bug app. Pretty exciting, right? Actually, I wasn’t far into my day when I received a distress call and rushed to my …
