Nothing like receiving a phone call on your PERSONAL cell phone, for your ex husband at the business you walked away from 8 yrs ago. Just one more trigger to make another slash wound into my being. I’m already ‘on the floor’ in emotional pain with Bob’s anniversary, and physical pain from my epoxy experience, […]
I survived the Epoxy workshop – it truly was touch and go, by the time I arrived in Kingston to pick up Jo-anne. I had already messaged her, asking for her to drive to the event, and had a decent meltdown in her driveway. I didnt fold tho, and we carried on to the hotel, […]
I’ve had a busy few days, getting out of the apt. daily, even in today’s rain. Working towards getting ready for the big trip to PEI, I’m taking short runs in the car, and even got to Kingston yesterday! Cost of gas is ridiculous – first time a fill up was over $60 in my […]
It’s late in the afternoon of the day AFTER the brisket episode. The ‘one about the brisket’ … that story that hasn’t quite left my mind! The trays and mess will take a couple of days to clear away, all kidding aside. I have a tiny kitchen, limited energy, and no demands that I get […]
What better way to explain how I manage to still (barely) function as a human being and go out in public, than to actually document it, while experiencing it! This is a perfect opportunity! I’m heading out in less than 2 hrs, to stand out doors, unprotected from the elements or passerbys, vulnerable and scared […]
i’m lucky and very privileged to be among those folks right now that are receiving good quality mental health support. I’m paying for it (not covered by my insurance), and thank God I have the pension to be able to do that! I speak with my Therapist weekly, and today was my 3rd session with […]
I follow the rules….ALL the time. It’s a curse at times, because my conscience won’t let me let myself off the hook – even for tiny little sways from the ‘right thing to do’. And I hate it when others’ break them, putting people like me, at risk. My damaged immune system, when it meets […]
I AM a work in progress….. there’s no question about that! At the age of 67, there’s still MUCH I have to learn, and I become easily overwhelmed these days, with information overload. Whether navigating online, or in a socially distanced safe environment, it’s a strange world we’re living in, and I struggle daily. My […]
The plans are finally in place to begin regular posts on this website and Blog. A huge shout out to my “Magical Sparkly Unicorn Webmaster” Sherry Lippincott, who has been a precious ‘find’ in my discovery of new members of my ‘tribe’! Her skillset and knowledge are exactly what I needed to move this project […]
My First Blog entry! I promise it’ll be as short and sweet as I can manage for this debut message!! I’ve long dreamed of a career as a writer, but life interrupted (for decades), and the only opportunities I could find to write were on Facebook, and that’s becoming an unfriendly territory for me, these […]
