Month: April 2020

Aside from helping out at the store for a bit at the store and mining a recording of an interview for information, today was pretty boring. It doesn't help matters any that I was in a grumpy mood today either. It just seemed like every little thing was wearing on my nerves. However, not everyday … Continue reading Grumpy…

My long awaited review of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is here. Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order takes place in the two decade gap between Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope in the Star Wars timeline. You play as Padawan Cal Kestis as he follows the trail of a … Continue reading Media Wednesday: Game review-Star Wars Jedi:Fallen Order

No post yesterday as the day got away from me. Lynn and I took a drive North of Castor to drop some groceries off for a friend in a neighbouring community, and I stopped on some of the back roads to take some photos on the way there and back. We ended up and stopping … Continue reading Roadtrip…

Not that I was out of the house much today, but it was another somewhat busy day, at least office wise. I ended up writing two articles and column for my local paper, as well as attending a photography business management webinar that I found that was being offered for free, and taking some photo's … Continue reading Keeping busy in spite of the circumstances

Today has been busy. I took some photos for a couple of news stories I am working on, and finished two stories based on my community's town council meeting last night, with two more waiting to be done, and a couple more to be done once I get a response to some emails I sent … Continue reading Hoping we emerge from this with lessons learned…

I had a good first appointment with my new therapist at Stettler mental health. With the Covid-19 pandemic raging right now, it ended up being a telephone appointment, with the next one in May likely being the same as well. It feels like I made a good connection with this new therapist, though it is … Continue reading Feeling the same, but different…

It is safe to say that we are living in times unprecedented in our generation. The numbers of people becoming infected with the Covid-19 bug continue to increase across the province, and the world. Fortunately the cases in the province are growing at a slower level than anticipated, thanks to the effects of social distancing. … Continue reading Software Review: Adobe Lightroom

Today, in the Christian calendar, we celebrate Jesus Christ beating death and resurrecting from the grave, four days after having been crucified on the cross, in the process absolving human-kind of their sin. Easter is a special time of year, usually one of family and friends on a three-day long weekend. Instead, in 2020 we … Continue reading Happy Easter…

I think one of the largest reasons I have managed to keep myself going despite everything that has gone on recently can be summed up in one word: routine. Normally when I start struggling, my routine is one of the first things to go, which sends me careening over the edge of the proverbial cliff … Continue reading For Me, Routine Is Important…

I'm starting to bounce back a bit, mentally speaking. It's been a rough few weeks, and mentally I've been near my limits. Emphasis on near, but not at them. I've been maintaining, surprisingly well considering everything that's gone on. Mood wise, I think I'm actually starting to rebound. A few of my soft-tells are showing … Continue reading Bouncing back amid the grind…

I've never considered myself to be a "creative" type. Outside of a few months of graphic design in high school I never really got into art, and until I started this blog I hadn't written since graduation. I'm still not sure I would call myself a "creative," but things have significantly changed for me in … Continue reading Becoming a “Creative” Type…

I'd be lying if I said that the last few days haven't had an effect on me. Between the ongoing pandemic, the slowdown with work, and losing Sirius, I have hit the edge of my ability to cope. I'm tired. I'm sleeping more than I should be, and I am unfocused. I've been struggling with … Continue reading Getting through…

I'm struggling today. I miss Sirius. I miss his nudging your arm when he wanted attention. I miss the impish look on his face before he would do something cute. I miss him sprawling on his back so you could rub his tummy. Sirius was nine-and-a-half years old when we suddenly lost him. Definitely older … Continue reading I miss the poor boy…
