Happy Birthday To Me!

It was my birthday May 9th, and it was a pretty good day. At midnight I began my birthday with some jager shots. Peter and I got home and he insisted I open my present. He just wrapped it and I unwrapped it immediately to make him happy. He did well this year, compared to other years where he struggled to buy me something special. I never get my hopes up because so often he misses the whole target.

I was surprised when I saw an iPod nano under the green Christmas wrap he used. You see, my 20GB ipod was stolen in January and I have been without one for awhile. Funny thing is, I won it at Checkers on halloween for the best costume. I never really wanted it, just wanted to win the contest. LOL Once it was stolen, I missed it.....

So after a night sleep, I woke up at 12:45pm with a headache from Mr. Meister. Peter and I wandered off to Stanley Park to see the eagle nest. We wandered around and saw an otter at Beaver Lake. We also saw a bunny at Lost Lagoon.
Paul called me to wish me Happy Birthday and we met up with him at Earls. Soon Bruce showed up and jager began to flow again. I realized that whatever there was is not there anymore. I think having Peter there just put the nail on the coffin of whatever we had. I doubt it will be a regular event anymore but funny thing is, whenevr I saw that, the visits seem to pick up again. I guess with the bar closing and the lack of time to see him, things change. I also think he doesn't like my choice for my new job. He won't visit me at the sports bar in the gay district. Even though it isn't a gay bar, it's "gay friendly" which turns him off. Oh well.

A few friends visited from the old job and more drinks flowed. By the end of the night we were drunk and I was dreading Mr. Meister in the morning. Well, no hangover. Hmmmmmm

While walking around the seawall I noticed and enormous amount of sculptures which are quite horrendous. Friends of mine have also discussed this and we've wondered who decides that these sculpture represent Vancouver.
You be the judge.

Christmas Dinner 2023

Christmas dinner is not a challenge for me, unlike most people all over the world. Depending on your main dish selection and the corresponding side dishes, the difficulty level can differ for anyone, but I always suggest keeping it on the simple side so you can spend more time enjoying yourself than living in your kitchen. It was just my partner and me this year, keeping it a bit low-key and quiet. He just started a new job and didn't want to go too crazy, doing a little extra studying during the festive days off. His decision was leg of lamb, which I was happy with as turkey for two is either too much trouble or not special enough if using turkey thighs for your main dish. Using my kitchen and cooking tools (and skills) was a great decision, making our neighbourhood festivities available while also having time to cook. After visiting the local pub and enjoying a few rye and cokes (beer for him) we tried to gather an appetite, filling up on Christmas brunch with my family earlier i...

Heat Waves and Hot Flashes: Mid-Fifties As A Woman

Sitting at the bar I frequent  often, cold pint in front if me, I chose to leave my hot apartment to find some air conditioning. The last few days have been hot in Vancouver and my local has been enjoyable with air conditioning keeping us all from melting away. Walking down here I noticed the temperature was 28c and was looking forward to a little break from the heat. Of course, after a few days of feeling a bit cold in here, the AC is not working. It can be hit and miss as they keep the folding sliding windows open for air flow, but it does end up over taxing the AC system. Sitting on non-cloth seats - it can get a bit sticky in here.  Earlier today I was on a hot bus, of course I catch the bus without AC and I could feel the sweat trickling down my back. Stick to the seat is also a lovely feeling, possibly leaving a small sweat streak, like you would find on seats on workout equipment in a gym. Yuck. The worst part of it all is when you are still suffering from h...

What To Expect When We Are All Free....

It's funny how we all have been reacting to this self-isolation as if we are caged animals, abducted from the wild, pacing in our surroundings, wanting out. We all are stuck in this situation due to a little thing called Covid 19. This novel coronavirus has spread around the world, passing through our breath - well, droplets from our saliva through coughing, sneezing and even breathing. Every country has it currently and Covid 19 has killed thousands of people world wide. In combat of this deadly flu bug, we have been separated from our friends, family and even work-mates in many cases, to avoid passing on the bug. Symptoms don't present at the beginning of the contagion, which is why we could pass it on without even knowing we are infected. Since early March, we have been told by the Chief Medical Officer, to stay inside, self-isolate, stay away from large gatherings and to wash wash wash our hands. Being cooped up in our own personal spaces due to a deadly pandemic o...
