My Birthday is Coming Up and I Woke Up To This...

Many people look at me and say that I look about 10 years younger than my real age. Well, after waking up this morning, fuzzy brained again (thanks Mr. Meister), I saw this little present on my face!. No wonder people think I look young. I'm still getting ZITS! My birthday is coming up, (I'll be 38) and this is the present I get? A little reminder of my adolescence. Great.


Some bad news today on the Eagle watch...one of the eggs is gone. Probably the first egg that is way past it's due date. It will be sad to see those eagles if the other egg is not viable. I guess they will just fly off. It seems like they are trying really hard to hatch the other egg but I can kinda tell it isn't gonna work. The mom just got up and started squawking and there was only one egg in the nest. The site is so over loaded, it's hard to get a good viewing of it without hiccups. I have to keep reloading it to stop the problems. The lone egg looked like it had a possible head popping out of it but the pixelations, when I enlarge the frame to full screen, messes up the picture. Anyways , we all sit and wait. Let's hope for an eaglet soon.


Yesterday was the first time I was about to tell my sous chef to go fuck himself (excuse my french). He has got a real problem and I am sick of being blamed for things I don't do. I told him to his face that some of these things he is being picky about, are trivial and small. Also I said that maybe the restaurant should put some responsibility on the manager on duty because I can't watch everyone when I am not there. I was off at midnight and stuff happened after. Anyways, I said I can't do it when I'm not there. In return he called a staff meeting and I said "Good cause I have loads to say". For example, why is it that his prep is never done and left to me? And then he bitches about some bloody bottles not filled for the next day? If I wasn't left doing his work I'd have time to do mine. JACKASS. And now I close every night this week! I don't get out until the bitter end. Errrrrrrrrrrr.





The question today is....will Detroit come back and beat Edmonton? I hope so because my friend is a fan of the Red Wings and I like to bug him about it. I also don't want the Oilers to win because they knocked us out of the playoffs--well the Canucks did it to themselves...Anyways, I hope Detroit kicks Edmonton's ass.


Well, that's it for today. See yah tomorrow.

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...
