Wineries, Again As planned in my last post, we visited and did a tasting at my husband's favourite winery, Burrowing Owl, where of course we ordered a case to be shipped home. Our reasoning is that we will drink wine over the course of the year, and it might as well be wine we really … Continue reading Almost Back to Reality

Ahh… Vacation
Pixabay Hello, everyone. First of all, apologies for my absence... I have not even been able to manage more than a cursory glance at any blogs over the last several weeks. I have a situation at work that feels like "death by a thousand cuts". I am the point person in the middle of something, … Continue reading Ahh… Vacation
I’m Melting! Melting!

Forecasted high for tomorrow is 41 Celsius (nearly 106 F)! What the heck? For a place that has generally moderate temperatures, we are just not prepared. I spent … Continue reading I’m Melting! Melting!
Mother’s Day
It's Mother's Day in my part of the world. Happy Mother's Day! My husband brought me home some Spring flowers yesterday and both he and my younger son gave me cards. We are having a chicken done on the barbecue rotisserie tonight. Should be yummy. Probably no wine, though, as I am limiting my sugar … Continue reading Mother’s Day
Well At Least It’s Not…
... rheumatoid arthritis (RA). If you’ve read my earlier post, you’ll know that I was waiting for test results to find out why my ANA level (potential marker for an autoimmune disorder) was so high, with the particular test looking for rheumatoid. Although trying to find the actual answer will have to wait until I … Continue reading Well At Least It’s Not…
In•val•id (adj)
This (lengthy) post focuses on some health issues I've been having, not for sympathy, but perhaps because it may help me to work out my feelings on what is happening and to keep me moving forward toward better health. Maybe, too, some of you may have experiences that will give me insight and new ideas … Continue reading In•val•id (adj)
Rebalancing – Part 2
I guess it's been around 7 weeks since I wrote Part 1 and somehow thought I might have some free time. (What was I thinking?!) I've now finished my big project and have a few weeks before the next one starts. I managed to take Sunday and Monday off this week! (Normally I work pretty … Continue reading Rebalancing – Part 2
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!
