I woke up later than usual, probably because I first woke up at 3:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep for a while. But eventually I did. So when 7:30 rolled around, I rolled out of bed, made a delicious coffee, grabbed my phone and sat down outside on the sun-filled back porch. I took a blissful first sip, opened WP Reader, started reading and went to take another sip when something stopped me. Continue reading “Pesky critters bugging me”
Same, but different
One thing hasn’t changed since lock-down began a number of weeks ago.
I still wake up to the ritual of making, and sipping, my first cup of coffee. Every single day.
No matter how horrible my sleep might have been, or alternately how well I slept, that first cup is my one enduring love. 💗
Alone in a coffee shop at night
There is a coffee shop in Canada called Tim Horton’s (Tim’s for short) that is ubiquitous with hockey families. Often, you will find a Tim’s near a rink, especially older arenas. Actually, there are Tim’s everywhere in the city, including near schools, churches and on every street corner.
I’m currently sitting in such a Tim’s on this snowy, Sunday night.
Momlife, youth sports, and the never-ending mess
Let’s play…where’s Waldo. Or, in this case, where’s the girl. 🙄 Continue reading “Momlife, youth sports, and the never-ending mess”
A night out, some drama, and a lot of coffee the next day
Yesterday we went out for dinner in the city’s east end. I even put on high (er) heeled shoes and earrings. 😊 Continue reading “A night out, some drama, and a lot of coffee the next day”
Insomnia and early morning mishaps
Early this morning I had insomnia. Either that, or I was done sleeping by 4 am. I was in bed before 10pm last night and did some reading, so maybe I was rested enough to get up…?
Who knows. All I know is I couldn’t fall back asleep.
So this is Friday
I woke up to it snowing outside.
Coffee…I need coffee… Continue reading “So this is Friday”
Kids sport tournaments
The annual ringette tournament is coming up this weekend, and my girl and I get to go on our own this year. The boys are in quarter finals hockey, so their availability to join us looks sketchy. Continue reading “Kids sport tournaments”
Monitoring beverages
As I get older, my ability to drink beverages and then go out someplace that does not have a loo nearby is getting more challenging with every passing year. So, longer dog walks, parks and playgrounds, even some baseball diamonds are out (unless they’re newer and have these facilities on the premises, which here in Toronto is not always the case).
Hiding in bushes is neither convenient (it’s February, all the branches are bare), nor desirable (I’m not a kid, or a man…) 🙄
Coffee, tea and water are the worst culprits. Continue reading “Monitoring beverages”
Electric shocks
Every day I get an electric shock. Sometimes I get several.
I’m beginning to take it personally. My appliances hate me. Continue reading “Electric shocks”
