Flu..?

Exhausted. Age…? Being in a class all day…? Flu…? Not sure why, but am dead tired. If it is you, Flu, that is knocking me out, just get on with it and let me get properly sick! This namby-pamby wimpy sick sh*t isn’t letting me get over it, and then on with my life! (Did…

I am a Kitchen Godess

Business: We did our after dinner walk, in the drizzle. It’s a gorgeous evening out there. Daytime, did a lot of walking through downtown, and was agast at the number of street kids hanging out. Although they didn’t pay me any attention (except for one who noticed and commented on the flowers I was taking…

Cops and Security

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a party with cops and security. We had a riot tonight at  Rocktoberfest 2009. We went dragging our feet, thinking the evening would be long and drawn out, but truth be told, after a few beers and a few Schnapps, the mood was set and we…

U2, Beer, Musings and Walking

A co-worker and FB friend recently went to Vegas to see U2. Inspired by this, I have dug around my iTunes library and sorted out a play list of all things Bono and Co. Interesting fact, Michael’s cousin Wendy lives fairly close the Edge. Mind you, everyone in Ireland knows each other, and lives next…

The Bank

I walked to the bank at lunch time. I relented and took the bus home this evening. Imagine, if I walked, I would not have had the great pleasure of sitting next to a baby who was having a great time pooping. Mom was encouraging the child. I was stuck against the window. There was…

Commuting

Monday through Wednesday, I’ve trudged along the streets of Edmonton to get myself home from work. Each day, sucking in the fumes of the passing cars and trucks, but not enough fumes to stop me from feeling smug and superior that I am relying on my own sticks to get me home. Haven’t been writing…

Yes I’ve Been Walking

… but busy in between times. Happy to report our walk today was down at Hawrelak Park, a nice change from the neighbourhood. We are always delighted with the quacking of the ducks. Sounds like they share a private joke. The geese population is flourishing, and obviously they like it here because I’m sure they…

Channelling Julia Child

Feeling a bit energetic today, I made Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner (as well as cupcakes), which is an all-day affair I tell you. I cooked. I baked. I cleaned. I cleaned again. Can’t wait for the hubster to get home and enjoy this feast I made for us. I am imbibing in some wine. The…

Radar Tower

Michael took this shot with his cell phone camera. Back on Vancouver Island, we climbed to the top of a small mountain, and this tower was our destination. Here’s the proof!

Sicko on the Move

After  a day on the couch, the bed, couch, bed, computer chair, couch, bed, couch, Michael took me on a single block walk this evening. Nice to get fresh air, but I still feel like shit.
