Update Day #29

THE LAST ROLO DILEMMA. Today’s dilemma is a little less dramatic or exciting as yesterday’s and for that, I am thankful. For the last 3-4 weeks, like many, we have been trying to source certain items. For most people it seems to be they cannot find toilet paper. We’re okay on that count and have,... Continue reading →

Apocalyptic Problems: Day #28

WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLOOD SITUATION! The utilities area is deep in an inch of water. I have towels down soaking it up. And I’ve flipped the safety breakers on the electrics in that area; namely, the washing machine and tumble drier. Dad, you taught me well. The plumbing guy of our maintenance... Continue reading →

Update Day #27

Today I thought to share with you what my daily routine has become. And how I’m trying each and every day to keep to a routine in order to not only stay sane, but keep fit, eat well, and stay focused on the end; whenever that may come, two weeks, two months, or a year... Continue reading →

Grocery delivery today. I never realised how such a simple thing could induce such worry in me, till now. Why? Because... Continue reading →

All Quiet on the Eastern Front: Day #24

Today is like no other day has been since the start of the lockdown period, so far. In that, there is nothing, and I mean, nothing open. Well, let me clarify that statement with, no shops or businesses are open. No grocers, no supermarkets, nothing. The Premier gave leave for everything other than essential services...

Sunshine Saturday – Day #23

And I’m taking a break from thinking about anything beyond, what’s to eat, shall I read something, or binge watch TV? And, wow, look, it’s EIGHT whole degrees outside! Spring is finally melting the snow, and any minute, we’re expecting flowers to pop up, and our very own ground hog to amble out of the... Continue reading →

Update Day #22

Last year, long before the pandemic was a thing, before China announced it had a problem, we booked a couple of concerts for here, in Québec City at the big sparkly Vidéorton Centre. One was to see Lara Fabian, a Belgian/Canadian singer who, quite frankly, has an even better set of lungs than even Céline... Continue reading →
