I’m feeling a tad overwhelmed by how much I need to do. I know I complain when I’m not working and worry about how time passes and is frittered away when I’m not doing something productive. But now I truly feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. I’m working right now and of… [Read more…]

What a strange feeling. That time moves at a pace that is relative to your own experiences. I’m not the first to notice, and won’t be the last. But it is so clear to me now. Wednesday last week was the 1 year anniversary of when my mom died. That day was quite similar to… [Read more…]

This Fall season has been nice and warm. Not as warm as other Falls, but warmer than most. It’s a funny thing, perception. I had a great time on Halloween handing out candy at a friend couple’s place, and we were out on their porch in our costumes. It was warm enough to stay out… [Read more…]

I just came back from an amazing vacation! I have a timeshare at a resort, and I go for a week every year. I can’t believe that it’s been 27 years! Timeshares make vacationing more affordable. Instead of, say, buying a whole cottage and maintaining it, you invest in building the resort and only have… [Read more…]

I had written in an earlier post about how I came about getting a new cat. Her name is Gabby, and the earlier post is called Gabby. She has to be one of the cutest cats I’ve ever known. Sometimes, I look at her and I almost get overwhelmed because I can’t believe how cute… [Read more…]

So, there is a built in understanding when everyone is posting in their status about how Facebook has fucked them. Again! Really? Is that the biggest beef… [Read more…]

I think it is funny/sad that the more doable a writing career is for me, the more the procrastination kicks in. I have worked on the craft of writing for years, joining MeetUp groups, doing workshops and courses. So, I have the writing part of a writing career down. And if I separate the emotions… [Read more…]

Well, I went to my dad’s place the other day because a Low Vision Specialist from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) was doing an assessment for him, and seeing what services he might need. Like a majority of the people served by the CNIB, my dad isn’t fully blind but has sight… [Read more…]

Erin and I were treated to real hospitality last weekend when we went to visit friends at a cottage on the northern shores of Georgian Bay. It was so nice to get an invitation and as soon as we could confirm plans, we gratefully RSVP’d. The thing about going up to a cottage is that… [Read more…]

I can’t believe how saddened I was to hear of the death of Jack Layton, respected Canadian politician and leader of the New Democratic Party. Usually, I’m not taken in by political people, because they all seem so nice when they want to get your vote, and then they forget about you as soon as… [Read more…]
