It's not often that an Armitage project comes along that my husband is also interested in. A space romp, though, is something he can appreciate. Space Sweepers is about a four-member crew of scavengers, essentially, who gather space junk to sell. They are outsiders, no longer part of the establishment and always trying to find … Continue reading Space Sweepers (2021)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I loved watching the Audible interview and couldn't resist screenshotting these pics for posterity! Back to work now for me, but I'm looking forward to steak and baked potatoes tonight. Hope you are having a wonderful Valentine's Day! đź’•
Best Laid Plans
Oh yes I know... I said Part 1 and then didn't do a Part 2... yet. I suppose I was so caught up in the euphoria of my son finishing his school that I completely forgot I was entering what is arguably the busiest time in my work! After a blissful weekend of (deludedly) thinking … Continue reading Best Laid Plans
Rebalancing – Part 1
My New Year's Resolution was to try to stop putting myself last. So, I'm now in a rebalancing phase. My younger son finally finished the last assignments for his college program on New Year's Eve, and we are just waiting to hear whether he achieved the diploma. For him, he mostly values the accomplishment and … Continue reading Rebalancing – Part 1
Happy New Year!
Hope everyone had happy holidays! I am optimistically looking forward to a new year that is far better than the old one. My only resolution is to try to stop putting myself last. After all, you have to put on your own oxygen mask first before you can help anyone else. For the first day … Continue reading Happy New Year!
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
... Christmas! After taking a break yesterday and buying some stocking stuffers at a nearby shop that sells local arts, crafts, and delicacies, I finally am starting to feel a bit of Christmas spirit! The town and beyond is starting to have a wintery, holiday look. I bought a new Santa for my display above … Continue reading It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
DistRActed? or Just Distracted?
Ever realize that you seem to have so much going on that odd things are happening? I wouldn't mind so much if I were distRActed (i.e. distracted by Richard Armitage, for the uninitiated), but that does not seem to be the case. Now I'm not sure whether I've permanently "lost that loving feeling" (as the … Continue reading DistRActed? or Just Distracted?

Autumn
After my last post, waving October goodbye, I can only say, "New month; same old stuff." More work deadlines and more school drama managed. No new provincial election, although they are still counting the mail-in ballots from the election two weeks ago. It won't change the leadership result, but there were around a dozen seats … Continue reading Autumn
Bye-Bye October
It's been an exhausting few weeks and I'll be glad to see the back of October. Work I am not a morning person, nor will I ever be. This was proved true once again by the intense course I took, held over four days from 7:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Who thinks up these times?? … Continue reading Bye-Bye October
