Day #46: Plan Ahead

As the days roll past, there’s one thing during this enforced stay at home that I am eternally thankful for, and that is, I got all my vaccinations updated last year. With the last shot for Shingles being administered earlier this year. Perfect timing? Maybe, maybe not. What I do know is that I’m good... Continue reading →

Day #45

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 45 days already and that we’re coming into the last few days of April. It’s weird because March felt as long as a decade. It dragged out in comparison to how quick, or, seemingly quick, April has sped past. I wonder if May is going to flash by too,... Continue reading →

Today’s Aside

To Banana Bread, or not to Banana Bread! But of course, without question, I have now become a banana bread diva. As me and mine are into making them on a regular basis. Another one made as of this morning, and filling the apartment with such a glorious smell. I would save you all a... Continue reading →

Spring Has Sprung: Day #44

Today actually feels like a spring day for the first time since, well, last year! The sun is shining brightly, there’s a light breeze, and we’re finally getting into double digits. In fact, these last few weeks the sun has been shining more often than not, which always lifts the spirits. Oh, and one of... Continue reading →

Day #43

I think that, after watching trumpty on the news last night telling people it might be a great idea to ingest bleach, of shove a UVA light source up their collective arses, in order to defeat/cure/cleans the body of COVID-19, I went to bed primed for a nightmare. And right on cue, at 2:45, yes,... Continue reading →

Day #42: Let’s Get Distracted

What do you do to distract yourself, and find a moments solace now we find ourselves staying at home, limited in going out, and worrying for family and friends? Do you binge watch TV, listen to music or read more, or have you found yourself, like so many (it seems) baking bread or cakes, cookies,... Continue reading →

Today’s Aside: WWW of Books

This weekly meme is hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. And is open to anyone to participate. I haven’t really done one of these in aggggggges. Mostly because I haven’t been in the reading mood. You would think with all this time on our hands we’d be reading every minute of... Continue reading →

Update Day #41

We’re living in apocalyptic times. I think our Premier knows this. I also think from his daily briefings that he’s prepping the people of Québec for what’s to come. It’s in the choice of phrasing, the words he uses, and how he is introducing the idea that people will have to do more. Much more.... Continue reading →

Update Day #40

After this weekend’s events, today I find myself, once again, contemplating how life is changing and the upheaval that is going on, all around us. From the subtlest of changes to the life-changing, and how one lone gunman’s split from reality changed and destroyed so many lives in a matter of hours. Things will never... Continue reading →

A Day of Heartbreak and Sorrow, Day #39

This morning, as people begin to try to process what has happened in Nova Scotia, Canada, with the killing of at least 16 people, in what we are still being told is a random act of senseless killing. Everyone across the country is in shock. With people saying, ‘this doesn’t happen here.’ Except, it did.... Continue reading →
