This morning I had a physical for my new job. The hard part was being weighed. The last few weeks have been tough on my regimen. Since I’m not working, exercising is a problem. The weather hasn’t been good, so my walks haven’t been as long as I’d like them to be and I don’t … Continue reading »
Well, the NHL 2013 season is underway. Saturday night’s Habs-Leafs game was a disappointment (for us, anyway). To say the least. There I was, all in my new Habs toque and my newish t-shirt actually going out to watch the game because the wifi in our building didn’t work. A message from a Quebecois friend … Continue reading »
For today… Outside my window… Thunderstorms. And when I was in the car it said the rain would clear until 3 PM. Yep, meteorology is an exact science. I am thinking… about organizing my work for today. I am thankful for… breathing. From the kitchen…bought a croissant from GetGo. Not feeling the cooking thing. I … Continue reading »

I am thinking… about the effects of Hurricane Isaac on people who have mostly been through the mill the last few years, between Katrina and BP’s oil spill… I am thankful … Continue reading »
Marche – That’s the French word for “walk”, as in “je marche” (I walk). This weekend I participated in Walk MS. I have, in past years, participated in several charitable walks — this year, this will be the only one and it’s the one that has the most meaning for me — pardon me if … Continue reading »
Beginning Monday, I’ll be participating in the A-to-Z Blog April challenge, wherein I will tackle various blog posts with the aid of the alphabet. (ok, I always use the alphabet, if you want to be literal, but this is different.) I’ll be posting weekdays, using that day’s letter as my inspiration. The idea behind this … Continue reading »
{EAV:c2a3d43ce264219c} Yes, I know it’s March. But having just gone through the most bizarre Winter (as far as weather goes) that I can remember, I’m willing to take the current weather, even if it does seem to have jumped ahead a month. Even the trees are confused. We drove down a road in Euclid and … Continue reading »
I spent the weekend thinking: about the change of seasons, the problems I’m having getting my eating back under control and about loving people who aren’t going to love back. With the exception of the beautiful Autumn weather this weekend, it wasn’t a particularly happy set of thoughts. Bally’s was on the menu this weekend, … Continue reading »
It’s been a long time since I’ve had to think about something like this. The last time was when my mom was diagnosed with leukemia back in the day (over 25 years ago, now). I’d forgotten how it feels to hurt, to cry to the heavens and negotiate with the Lord, offering to bear someone’s … Continue reading »
