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 …
A Look Back As I Move Ahead
Wow. A LOT has happened in the past 13 months for me. It's been a real life roller coaster ride which I did not buy a ticket for, but somehow became entitled to just the same. And honestly, the ride just keeps on going. I'm hoping to find a way off of the track sometime …
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 Spring Silt of 2020
One of many of the National Parks’ closed campground stalls because of COVID19.I've been coming to some of Canada's National Parks since I was a little baby. That's a long time ago now. This year is quite different around here for obvious reasons. It appears that no one or nothing can escape COVID19; even the …
Trucks, Coffee, Shoes and Visits
Have you ever had that elated feeling from finally being able to do something that you once used to, but were no longer able to for whatever reason? The answer is likely yes, since we've ALL had similar experiences wherein COVID-19 has restricted our 'normal' day-to-day life routines. I know that I have definitely rejoiced …
At Least One Good Thing
Hmmm... I have to admit that I am curious about how you all are feeling about things now that we are few months into this pandemic. Obviously, I'm sure that we all continue to feel overwhelmed by the mass loss of life and the many other devastating effects caused by COVID-19, but still I have …
A Title About Titles
It looks like one crafty librarian had a little bit of fun playing around with book titles--re-arranging them to reflect these crazy pandemic times. You have to hand it to him/her and to COVID-19, as it has sure brought out our inner creativities. Maybe that is one of the many good things to come from …
