It really was just a Monday, with so many things happening at the same time work-wise, that the day whirled past. It was a great moment when I got a message from an acquaintance from the building I moved out of in August 2018. He had mail for me that had already been written on …
I had no idea how gratifying this day was going to be when it was planned yesterday. My Ashlée is house sitting and asked if I would like to get out of the house and come for a distanced visit in the countryside. I decided to treat us both to take-out, yay curbside apps! Grabbed …
Took a long time to get to sleep and every time I slightly woke up I remembered the intruder. I was still only a half hour late getting started on my work. It was very hard to concentrate all day though. I was grateful to have phone training with some lovely ladies who left me …
Today was going along as usual, took the time to write out some postcards to the grandkids, mailed a cookie to a friend, dropped some off at at another family and returned to get a lot of work done. I then made some dinner and settled down to watch a zoom webinar about Trains and …
I had an email from a co-worker today about work and then he asked if I liked my ecard for my birthday which was over a week ago. I told him I didn’t get one and actually was a little sad that work hadn’t recognized it but, I am the social committee at the moment …
Still feel like I am walking through mud but I got up and got at it. First thing this morning there were messages, one from near and one from afar, reaching out to make sure I am ok. It is hard to explain that I can not edit, nor redact the parts of the day …
4 days now with stress stomach and anxiety. 4 days of being on the edge of weepy and today outright crying. 4 days of not even attempting to get my steps in….. I wonder what the significance is. WHY? why now, why me, why not, why. I am going through the motions, I doubt many …
Sundays are interesting for me, they often are a little ‘floaty’. There were several periods in my life when Sunday was my most scheduled day, my God time en masse. Over time I have come to a place that does not involve a brick and mortar faith, and these pandemic days lend themselves to shopping …
I stayed up late last night so was really looking forward to sleeping in. I had had to peel my eyes open at 7 when my alarm went off for the previous two days. Imagine my horror when I sprang awake at 6:25!! I grabbed a coffee and a snack and settled on the couch …
I tried hard to concentrate on work, I really did but the Tupperware party on Thursday Night was too much! I was so busy off and on getting it all sorted. I did have a lovely visit from a client who showed up with a Timmies coffee and a Honey Crueller! We sat about 10 …
Good thing I was not dead set on a pair of Dr. Bonnie’s as the website crashed. There were so many people I have to wonder how many pairs were government subsidized…. I was soooooo tired today, I just worked and then hosted a Tupperware Party via Facebook messenger. It was a bit of a …
Today is my beautiful middle child’s 33 birthday and I was thrilled to just yesterday have come across a bidwar item of three Original Star Trek characters. She is a fan so I bid and found out today I won. When I contacted the seller she had a huge collection and I chose 13 of …
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 …
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.
