My bed was more than welcome last night. By the time I got home from work, ate something and did a stint in the Jacuzzi, I’m not sure I was still conscious. I THINK I said goodnight to poor Karen, but I wouldn’t bet my life on that. I vaguely remember the beasts cuddling upContinue reading “RESPECT”

My DIL is doing as many hours as she can at the moment so that she can take time off when my son goes in for his surgery. Because her shifts are in late afternoon and early evening, I get to care for Little Flea until daddy gets home from his job around 7 orContinue reading “MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT”

My Keurig left me hanging the other morning. This is the 4th or 5th one to come through my hands. The lady was NOT happy! I grumbled that I was going to buy an ordinary percolator, and here came Karen to the rescue; she had an extra one lying around downstairs.  She cleaned it (itContinue reading “APPLIANCES POSSESSED?”

Perfect weather yesterday here! Sun was shining and it was warmer, an ‘open coat stroll’ kind of day. I went into work for 2:00 PM and parked as far away from the building as possible in the designated employee area, but the walk still wasn’t long enough. When we finished up it was dark, andContinue reading “DANGER?”

The head cold is slowly leaving my system. I was able to go to work yesterday with a little help from non-drowsy medication to slow the coughing and nose blowing.  There were new things to learn, and soon my mind was more on that than the lingering symptoms – the old ‘break your little fingerContinue reading “A NEW WEEK”

UGH! I am sick. It’s a head cold with all the trimmings; sore throat, congestion and runny nose, sneezing, coughing, eyes watering, ears ringing, fatigue, headache….and it’s not going anywhere fast. There was no way I could work my shift on Thursday, so I had to call off sick for my second day at theContinue reading “UGH!”

Probably getting the flu shot and our continued practicing of mask, hand washing and distance Covid procedures resulted in my not suffering much of a cold anytime this winter. I certainly won’t blame cuddling with Little Flea on Saturday (who could resist that anyway?) for spending the whole Monday night awake with sneezing/congestion/just feeling blah.Continue reading “THE NEW JOB”

It was my DIL’s birthday on Saturday, and ‘my son’ was taking his wife out for the seafood that she loves.  Because she works most weekends, this time off made it a rare and special treat. It was a treat for me too; Little Flea spent the night with Mémère!  The child was sneezing whenContinue reading “A PRIVILEGED BLESSING”

It was a short night. We watched the Toronto Raptors compete until it was time for hockey. My HABS were playing Calgary Flames, and the game only started at 9:00 because of the time difference between Western Canada and here in Quebec. The overtime had it ending even later, but was well worth staying upContinue reading “UP! THEN BACK DOWN.”
