Surprise!

 After an extended time away, I'm back to writing on my blog...well, at least until I drop off the face of blogland again.  

I cannot seem to find the time to write consistently.  I have plenty of content, I mean my life is horribly busy so I should have plenty to write about. I always have something to say (just ask the people around me). 

Today's January 2nd, 2025.  Unbelievable.  

I'm on annual leave today and tomorrow.  After a busy Christmas, it felt like my mind and body needed to downshift a bit.   I don't have anything spectacularly fun planned, just resetting and relaxation.  And music.  And a book.  And the gym. (Always the gym). 

So what have I been up to? 

  • I've been obsessed with Taylor Swift and the Eras Tour
    • Literally combing the interweb for videos, pictures, alllll things Taylor
      • No, I didn't go to her concert. But I have watched it on Disney like 5 times.
        • Favorite Song, "Style"
          • New favorite non-Eras Tour song, "You're in Love"
  • It's winter, which means that I'm driving Blaine around since he parked his scooter.
    • Sad note, he fell on the ice yesterday and injured his ankle badly.
      • Visit to the Orthopedic Dr tomorrow to determine if hairline fracture or small broken bone.  He's off work for at least a week, longer if it's broken.
  • My supervisor retired in May. (Not sad about that).
    • I've taken on a supervisory/mentor role in the office.
      • Cross training staff is paramount, time consuming, but worth it. 
        • I just finished up 25 years at the prison. I'm 62 and probably have another 2-3 years in me. lol
  • Health is good
    • I did retire from teaching yoga though. I just have too much going on and it's been like 20 years that I've held space for my students.  It's time to hold space for me. Yes, I'm selfish!
  • Tom is good, stubborn but good. 
  • Family is good
  • I'm laughing at all the Maga Trumpsters who are getting what they voted for (idiots).
    • Unfortunately, it also means I'm getting what they voted for.
  • Life is good.
  • I'm sure there's more but it's past my 62 yr old bedtime and I'm tired. LOL

I'm doing ok, long lost blog buddy, all things considered. Regarding weather conditions, me-thinks that lots of US folks right now are having more of a rough time than us here in Tundra Land (ie.,Toronto) - cold and snowy here one day, rainy and snow all gone the next. It's been a repeat like that all throughout the last 6 weeks. No biggie - things could be worse.

Welcome to the Shit Show!

 I'm trying not to breaking one of my hard and fast rules - do not  talk politics or religion .  But for the love of all things holy, I cannot not   comment on the total shit show of last nights presidential debate.     America, we're screwed!     I want the chance to write in a candidate.  I think anyone would be a better option than the two we have right now.  UGGGHHHH!   I'm soooooo tired of the bickering . right vs. left.  I'm tired of the media, I'm tired of black lives matter (ALL LIVES MATTER, shit heads!), cop kiilings, riots and the disrespect and downright hatred  of the flag, of our Country!   I'm scared for everyone concerned.  I feel  the anger, the despair, the lack of consideration and respect - not only for the country -but for humanity .   I heard Savanna Guthrie , NBC Today Show, say that Social Media was the cesspool of society."   I couldn't have said it bet...

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas 2022, I had promised Blaine that I would take him to Million (aka Michael) and get his UJ (University of Jamestown) tattoo recolored.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I couldn't fulfill my promise to him. Christmas 2023 I was  subtly  reminded that I owed him his gift from last year!  He forgets  to brush his teeth or clean his apartment but gosh darn he sure remembers if it's something he wants!  Michael was all about making it look like new again and hooked us up with an appointment yesterday.   What a day!!! We started out with coffee and egg McMuffins and plenty of conversation as we rolled down the interstate! I think his mouth was going faster than we were traveling! We covered so man y topics! We laughed a lot but cried a bit too as we remembered the farm and grandpa and grandma. After the tattoo, we went ro Scheels for a few more Christmas gifts.. a swim bag for his Special Olympics swimming gea...

A Repeat...

Once in a while I receive a request to "repeat" a blog post. This is one of the repeat posts that I hope you all enjoy the 2nd time around. It was originally posted in May of 2008. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Greetings Everyone, I received an email about 9 years ago from a far-away-friend that touched me to the core. It was entitled "Life's Lessons." I printed it out and tucked it away to read when I needed some inspiration. I ran across it awhile ago and, not surprisingly, it touched me as much now as it did then. So, to my friend Lee - wherever you may be, thank you for sending me something so beautiful and for thinking of me. Be well My friend. Life's Lessons Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your ...
