I was up at 4:30 this morning actually feeling energetic. After the first coffee, of course. When I get home from the job I am beat, especially at the end of 4 BUSY days in a row. Within a couple of hours I am snoozing sitting at the table. Poor Karen. She spends the dayContinue reading “ABOUT SURPRISES!”

It’s done! I begin my new job on August 8th! There will be approximately 2 weeks training at their office then the equipment will be set up at home so that I can work from here. Ask if I’m SMILING? I received the call on Wednesday morning just as I was arriving at my presentContinue reading “AND MOVING ON!”

It’s a crazy time here! From work there are people on vacation, others who have resigned, and with this area full of lakes and cottages, summer tourist season is in full swing. It’s rare we are not very, very busy. I’m enjoying meeting all the new clients, most in great moods because of the weather…soContinue reading “UPDATE”

Last night, in full busy time, I was asked if I would come in earlier and open this morning. Well, DARN! I did agreed to do it (already suspecting that it would be a long day, my insomnia being what it is) because I knew two of the younger co-workers were under the weather, bothContinue reading “EARLY START, COVID, AND A VISITOR!”

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Lots of things happening but, because I am mostly at work (vacation times, employee changes, etc.) and am not supposed to talk about what goes on there…well, it limits what I can write. I am seriously considering forgetting that rule; there is nothing detrimental to the companyContinue reading “ANOTHER UPDATE”

In a couple of hours I’ll be on my 6th day of working my ‘part-time’ job. I’m booked for tomorrow too, so that will make it 7 days out of 9.  One of my work colleagues, a smart lady with dancing eyes, received a dreaded call that her mom had passed away. Especially sad becauseContinue reading “THE WAY IT IS”

Here I am again, finally. I can’t seem to keep up to everything. Here’s a little update: My son is feeling great, has been off the pain medication for 2 weeks. Like his mom, he does not do well with medication. He went back to get the staples out and through more tests, and theContinue reading “BELATED UPDATE”

We’re back on the grid! After 8 days the electric power came back on, then internet was restored late last night. With the high cost of gas at the moment, that darned outage cost me more than 300$ to feed the generator now and then to keep the fridges going or to fill up withContinue reading “BACK ON THE GRID!”

Me again. Things have been happening and, unfortunately, I have found myself slipping into the old but frustrating routine of either working or sleeping…or attempting to sleep. The brain is sharper and the back’s endurance lasts longer when I do occasionally get a 6 to 8 hour night in; emphasis on the ‘occasionally’. The bestContinue reading “ABSENT BUT WORKING”

FROM MONDAY, MAY 2ND Yesterday it was a sun filled day with a temperature of 17C, or 62F.  Beautiful! Except I spent from noon to 9 PM in a hospital waiting room, where not even a drink of water is allowed because masks are obligatory at ALL times. Any diabetic person there was told toContinue reading “A LATE POST”
