Christmas is just over a month now and my feelings are mixed. Many of us are in lockdown or likely soon facing it. COVID-19 numbers are reaching new heights and death tolls sadly continue to add up. Hoarding has already begun again and the reality that healthcare systems cannot keep up weights heavily. Not exactly …

A New Day Begins
The exact yoga pose that I practice each morning... just not as eloquently. My weary mornings begin at 6 AM. Well, 6:05 really. I hate o’clocks (:00). They are too round of a number or dictative or something. While I know that my wake-up call could be much earlier as it is with some others, …
Tissues Anyone?
The other day I blogged about various multi-packs of items and Irene at My Slice of Mexico commented about tissue boxes and it got me thinking about the white squares a little more thoroughly. I never quite realized before how important of a role they play in our lives and not just from a practical …
Just One More
It seems like it wasn’t all that long ago that I ventured outside after our first snow melt to do some much anticipated driveway walking. I remember the day vividly and I also remember how elated I felt afterward. It was the first of many revered walks thanks to my newly sutured ankle tendon which …
Dr. Seuss and I Have An Ask…
Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, Even a character, such as a Minion, I have no problem with it at all, It’s neither an order that is too big or too tall. Personally, I am fascinated with differing viewpoints and as such, I find myself surrounded by friends who reflect such variances. It …
Is It Just Me?
I don't know about you, but I’m getting kind of sick of COVID-19. Thankfully, I’m not sick from it, just of it. The other day especially, this whole mess of protocols that we have to follow and the everlasting risk of coming down with it really got to me. In fact, I’m even partially annoyed …
An Old Dog in a New Age
Twenty-six years ago, I was just a little pipsqueak embarking upon a career that I had dreamt about since I was a little girl. As a recent graduate, I was young, naive, inexperienced and had none of the answers. Somehow, I possessed a University degree which stated that I was capable of entering my field …
Could It Be… COVID-19?
I take off my eye mask for sleeping and look in the mirror. Oh-oh! Pink eye. In my right eye. Pink eye is a COVID-19 symptom. I know that because the signs at all of my appointments have it listed along with all of the other primary signs of the coronavirus such as, shortness of …
When It’s Too Much…
I know I shouldn't, but I do it anyway. I have to know what's going on. What if I miss something really important? What's happening isn't right, it isn't fair! I'm in disbelief. "I feel compelled to look," I said. "I can't help myself." "That sounds like an addiction," he stated matter-of-factly. ---My world stopped!---- Sadly, …
The End of the Line
Every now and again, a new wave of coronavirus sadness hits me. It did the other day. As of this morning, an internet search reveals the current stats worldwide: Global cases Updated 21 Jul: Confirmed 14,707,451 +199,960 Deaths 609,986 +3,813 Recovered 8,294,208 +160,545 (I'm assuming that the + means those added within the last 24 …
