Cold

I am cold. I have been cold since 27 December 2012. I greatly dislike cold. Actually, I hate it. I want warm feet again. I want to sleep in a room with an ambient temperature above 18 C. I want to shed layers of clothing so that I am only wearing… Continue reading →

20 years, 63 years

Today, two things were brought to my attention: 1- it’s been nearly 20 years since I met B, one of my best best *bestest* friends (the friend I stay with here in Vancouver). I met her super-fab husband then, too, but none of us would have predicte… Continue reading →

Friends like family

Friends like family.We all have these, don’t we? They are the people who have been in our lives a very long time — so long that at some point, we can’t remember when they entered. Or, their entrance was just so natural that it all seemed to fit. … Continue reading →

Busy is good.

I am better when I am busy. Quiet time is good, too — and necessary — but one thing I know to be true about myself is that I am more my true self when I am busy. Today I rented a car. I’ll only be here another 2 days, but I had two appointments … Continue reading →

The beginning of . . .

So. I am late. I meant to do this the other day (New Year and all, you know), but then the day got away from me (reallytruly) — playing in the snow with my niece, making dinner, visiting with my brother — all good things. Then suddenly I was in … Continue reading →
