There’s this neck cream that keeps popping into my social media feed, probably because I keep clicking on it to see what it’s all about. I mean, it’s called “The Elevator”, people. It promises to lift sagging skin and to firm and restructure the neck and décolleté area. And it’s only $122 plus tax and …
I have a friend who orders her lattes with extra foam. They feel like air when you pick them up. I was behind a lady in line once at the local coffee shop and she ordered a cup of foam without the coffee. It reminded me of when I used to work at McDonalds and …
My husband and I took a road trip today to the charming little town of Almonte, Ontario today to visit his sister who has just moved into a residence there. As we entered the town, we passed a cafe/shop called Hummingbird Chocolate and something tweaked in my memory. Then I remembered my friend Gen had …
We picked up our cockatiel, Earl Grey, a re-home, on June 9th, 2024. Here is a facebook post from May of this year when I would finally introduce him. This is Earl Grey. The person who rehomed him said he was two but they made the mistake of leaving his birthdate engraved on his anklet …
After the big clean-up yesterday evening and writing my daily blog entry, my husband and I settled down to watch a couple of episodes of Motherland, a hilarious British comedy series about some of the more unsavoury aspects of middle-class motherhood. Long story short, we ended up going to bed late and I was in …
By 6:30 pm, the last of the guests had departed, the washing up was done, my black velvet slacks were hung in my closet and I was in full decompression mode. As predicted, there is always a mad dash to the end. A dear friend texted me early this morning : Merry Christmas old friend. …
To a certain extent, anxiety pushes me to be super organized when it comes to planning for anything I find particularly stressful. I guess it gives me some sense of control and I feel great relief ticking things off my to-do list. Like weddings though, there is only so much you can do in the …
My number one, favourite client ever died this past July. After all that she had been through and survived, finding refuge in this country after lifetime of hardship and suffering, the final diagnosis was brutal. There was no time to say goodbye, to tell her what she meant to me. Her last days were spent …
Like many people who work regular full-time hours, Monday through Friday, I was never a fan of Sunday evenings. For that reason, when I had the opportunity to work a modified full-time schedule with every other Monday off, I took it. You’d be right to expect that a Sunday evening before a Monday off would …
The Winter Solstice is upon us. We have arrived, hopefully intact, to bid adieu to the shortest day of the year and the longest night of winter. For many pagans like my friend, Joan, Winter Solstice is the only occasion that warrants celebration during a marathon month completely hijacked by Christmas. Whether you worship Christ …
