Juggling

Technically, this is not me. I am not blond, even though I have blond streaks below my dark locks.

Sunday morning in mid-October 🇨🇦

I’m lying in bed with a coffee anticipating my day’s events.

I’ll be mostly out of the house today.

How life has changed and a few other updates

September 30, 2021October 1, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I’ve been co-parenting my teens while not living at home. It’s been… interesting.

Did you know teens are not chatty? I mean, all this time when I was home with them they stared at their phones, chatted with friends, yada yada… they knew I was there, in the background, ready to pour food into their little gullets, but they didn’t really interact with me too much. Which is completely normal teenage behaviour, I’m not complaining here. They have their lives back now that lockdowns have been eliminated (for how long though? ugh…) Chatting with mom was just not… done. Or something.

Unless they were hungry. 😛

Sunday vibes

September 26, 2021September 26, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I’ve been up for two hours and it’s only 5:55 am. The repetitive numbers in sequence like this means something: it’s an angel number, meaning it’s a message from the angels. 🙂

The past week I’ve been seeing 222 twice (ha), 555 twice (as of today) and 333 once.

According to the internet, 555 is an angel number which bears the following message: a major life transformation is upon me. It will disrupt my current life and guide me onto my next life’s path. The angels (if you believe in such things) are guiding me to keep calm and positive as I navigate the challenges of this transformative period in my life.

I have coffee, and the little heater in the corner is blasting warm air toward me. Summer has moved on it seems, even though the daytime highs are still pleasant, sunny and warm, mostly.

Writers should kick in doors and tear down walls

August 21, 2021August 21, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

One again, my forward propulsion came to a screeching halt the other day.

It’s all good. These things happen. They will happen again. Life is a journey and all that. 🙄

Here’s what happened.

A few days of solitude

August 7, 2021August 7, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I’ve taken a bit of a blogging break and I will continue but since it’s 5:00 a.m. on a Saturday and I’m on my second load of laundry I thought I might as well sit here with coffee and have a bit of a chat with you. 😃

The family left for camping on Thursday and they’re coming back I think Sunday or Monday.

I had intentions to do a lot of writing.

That didn’t happen. 🙄

There is only one correct way to load the dishwasher.

A tribute to blogger friendships

July 20, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

When I first started blogging, my now-16-year-old son was a baby. I’m on my third blog (and I have a fourth one in which I publish erotic fiction), so I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to WordPress. Ha.

So it won’t be anyone’s surprise that I have made a few friends along the way.
