Whirlwind…

The last couple of weeks have been ... intense. Just about two weeks ago, we said goodbye to our precious Willow. We ultimately ended up having the vet come out on the Monday as we detected another problem with her and we just didn't want her suffering any more. I'm not going to lie; I … Continue reading Whirlwind…

It’s hard to say goodbye…

Suffice it to say, 2023 is already starting off on the wrong foot. While I have some positive stuff going on as far as work goes, which I can't speak about quite yet, on the home front things have been rough. I found out that Noreen, my biological dad's wife, passed away on Dec. 31. … Continue reading It’s hard to say goodbye…

Tweaking things…

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com It is unbelievably the middle of July already. This year has been flying by. Between work, school and cramming in some time for Lynn my schedule has been pretty busy. Still, despite the craziness I have been pushing myself to make some changes. I've been out wildlife shooting a bit … Continue reading Tweaking things…

Closing in on the end…

Well, the end is in sight for another of my courses. I completed the seventh module -of eight- of my Communications 201 course yesterday morning. Which it complete, and still around six weeks left of my contract, I am in good shape to complete the course by the Dec. 31, 2021, deadline. With the module … Continue reading Closing in on the end…

Bouncing Back…

I managed to get caught up with work, and focus some on school, catching up on some English reading and working … Continue reading Bouncing Back…

Movie Review: F9, The Fast Saga (No Spoilers)

Photo by Erik Mclean on Pexels.com After being delayed for over a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, F9, the latest entry in "The Fast Saga" has finally hit theatres. Our local theatre in Stettler brought the movie in for four showings, and a buddy and I went for it's last night. As any of … Continue reading Movie Review: F9, The Fast Saga (No Spoilers)

Home again…

It feels good to be home. After two weeks away looking after Lynn's mom post-surgery, I travelled home today. In total, the trip was just shy of eight hours, which makes for a long day. I'm a little annoyed at myself though. I thought I had packed everything up at the mother-in-law's house, however, apparently … Continue reading Home again…

Complications…

Well, it has been a week. I'm still in Saskatchewan, helping out my mother-in-law as she recovers from surgery, which she had last Tuesday. While the surgery went well, she ended up having some complications in the days after the surgery, necessitating an overnight admission to the local hospital and an urgent trip back down … Continue reading Complications…

Enjoying the peace of morning…

How can you be upset with this face waking you up??? Thanks to a puggle who needed to go outside earlier than normal this morning, I was up earlier than my usual wakeup lately. I'm not even mad. I've been wanting to start getting up earlier again. Lately, I've just been so fatigued that I've … Continue reading Enjoying the peace of morning…

Plans and goals…

I am happy to be coasting into the weekend after what turned into a fairly busy week. I have a few things to work on tomorrow, but I should be able to get some good downtime as well this weekend. My goal for tomorrow is to get the final tweaks done on my essay done, … Continue reading Plans and goals…

Crawl before I walk, walk before I run…

Photo by Snapwire on Pexels.com Well, after a much needed break, I am back at it again. Despite spending some of Sunday in the office working on my school stuff, I did manage to take it mainly easy, watching some television with Lynn. Monday was supposed to be an office day, working on school stuff, … Continue reading Crawl before I walk, walk before I run…

Calm…

I'm feeling calm, even centred, tonight. It's been a busy day. I had a meeting to cover this morning, followed by an appointment with M this afternoon. We had a good conversation, covering a lot of ground, talking about things I want to work on in 2021. He said that I seem calmer, more relaxed … Continue reading Calm…

Oops…

Photo by Aphiwat chuangchoem on Pexels.com For the second time since the new year rang in, I screwed up and forgot my night-time meds. The problem is, without the meds, I don't sleep. Unfortunately, by the time I realized what had happened, and why I wasn't sleeping, it was four in the morning, and if … Continue reading Oops…

Filling my cup…

For the first time in longer than I care to think about, I got out into the back-country and took some photos. While I was on the hunt for hawks or owls, neither of which materialized, I still had a good time and managed some good shots. I ended up doing a swing through some … Continue reading Filling my cup…

Holding steady…

Photo by Alex Andrews on Pexels.com The weekend hasn't been overly busy, but it has been steady. Saturday, I spent most of the day studying, working on my 20th Century History course. It's been feeling good getting back into the swing of things. I also picked up my new office chair on Saturday, and I … Continue reading Holding steady…

Taking pictures…

Today has been another quiet Sunday. We had church this morning, then we headed home. I made pancakes for lunch, and we watched the nail-biter of the Dallas-Calgary hockey game. Unfortunately, Calgary came out on the losing end, but it was in overtime, and it was a tightly contested game. After the game, I headed … Continue reading Taking pictures…

Work, work, work…

Today was a pretty laid back day. I ended up doing a couple of interviews this morning for an article I'm working on, and I made some headway on my next essay. This afternoon, I worked on my photography and Photoshop courses, then did some more work on my essay, as well as doing some … Continue reading Work, work, work…

Running in the red…

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Today has been a day. I was up and out relatively early, taking Willow to see the vet in Stettler. The vet ended up keeping her for a few hours so she could do some tests, which left me with time to kill. The good news is that the vet … Continue reading Running in the red…

Restful…

Yesterday and today have both ended up being pretty restful days. I didn't end up doing too much yesterday, trying to give myself a chance to unwind. Still, the day wasn't without its productivity. I got some studying in for my university course, updated my website, and even managed to catch an episode of SEAL … Continue reading Restful…

Photography road trip…

Today was busier than it felt, despite sleeping in. I made pancakes for lunch for Lynn and I, then ended up cleaning my camera and lenses, because it had been awhile since it's been done, and with the pets, their fur gets everywhere. With that task completed, Lynn, Rolo, and I -Sorry Taffy!!-loaded into the … Continue reading Photography road trip…

Maintaining…

This morning Lynn and I were up and out a bit earlier than normal, to pick up a new A-frame that we are going to repurpose for the store, because the one down there is too small and light for the task. After we got back from that, I logged into my free webinar I … Continue reading Maintaining…

An evening drive…

Today was a mix of work and play. This morning I did some interviewing and article writing, then after lunch I went out to take some photos. I only ended up going out for an under an hour as the light was harsh and I didn't end up coming upon any wildlife. After I got … Continue reading An evening drive…

Found the cows, they’re at home…

Despite struggling to get motivated this morning, today was a pretty successful day. I managed to get an article written for work before lunch, then headed into the back country near where I live to do some exploring. The terrain in this area never ceases to amaze me. We have everything from flat prairie to … Continue reading Found the cows, they’re at home…

Early Morning Peace…

I always forget how much I enjoy the predawn quiet in the house. Lately I haven't even been setting an alarm, because it didn't seem to matter what I tried, I couldn't talk myself into getting out of bed, and as a result I've been sleeping in later and later. With my schedule being kind … Continue reading Early Morning Peace…

Work and self-care…

Today is definitely off to a rough start. I do not feel like I slept at all well last night, and this morning I am dragging ass. Despite that though, I have already managed to get some work done, and set up a meeting for later on this morning. My goals for today are to … Continue reading Work and self-care…
