There are about five photos of myself in existence that I like. This isn’t one, but it was supposed to be a humorous and/or realistic glimpse at our lives during the time of COVID-19. I guess now that I’m 65 this age, I should just get used to how I really look. I’ll try to … Continue reading
It doesn’t feel like Sunday. No, wait … to be honest, every day has felt like Sunday for the past few weeks. Gary must have his eye on the clock, ready to phone his mom. Each Sunday morning, he calls Toby at the same time, 8:25, and she must look forward to that! She has … Continue reading
Best thing about Tuesday is that it’s not Monday. I don’t have a 9 to 5 job, nor is my work a monotonous grind, but it always seems like there’s less pressure after Monday. 🤷🏼♀️ I often refer to my work on the first weekday as “digging out from the weekend”, because Sunday night is … Continue reading

I will send it next week: late for Christmas but early for Rae’s birthday in March. It is another incarnation of the “jelly roll” quilt, and the ones I am … Continue reading
How lame can I entitle a post? Sorry about that. It has been an eventful week … mostly good except that a neighbour died on Sunday. That is sad for a very large family; I was not too close to the grand matriarch who has “gone on ahead” of the rest of us (I made … Continue reading
For some reason today seemed frustrating, or maybe it was just a few moments at the end of the day. I was trying to get some things done which involved a little technology … on hold on the phone, trying unsuccessfully to send a text message on the cell phone (unrelated, but at the same … Continue reading

R.I.P. Prin I haven’t said much about it, but my little black cat was suffering from a persistent skin infection. Every day for many weeks, I’ve had to administer pills, and she was so patient. I applied ointment daily. Long ago, the lesions were cultured and I was following the recommended course of treatment. I … Continue reading
