A Night to Enjoy....

A day from hell at work turned to a good late night drinking with friends. I went to work, Monster in hand, expecting hell and I got it. I was the only cook on board of the Edmonton train and I served everyone in the dining coach. I wish the management would realize we need more staff. Funny how Monster Assault makes you drop things. I don't think that drink could ever sponser the military, with all the soldiers dropping their weapons from guarana and taurine overload shakes.

After the longest clean-up, I wandered down to the ole drinking hole to meet up with the boyfriend, 6 pints in him already, and other good pals. The old agro sex addict was there too, trying to talk to me. I generally ignored her, but if I had a few rye and cokes in me, I would have punched her out. Errrr nympho. Well we ended up being invited to drinks with our friend who owns a restaurant and invites people there for late night convo and drinks. Fun times and loads of conversations. Now the sun is rising over the horizon and thank God I work at 6pm. My better half works at 1:30pm and he had 12 pints tonight. Hangover? We'll see.

I hope to fight the wind storm we are experiencing to get more pics of the eagles if I wake up before 2pm. I don't know if I love 6pm starts or hate them but right now I love them :)

Adults and Toys - Do Adults Ever Really Grow Up?

Every morning I drag myself out of my warm bed and prepare for another work day, as everyone else does in numerous routines and rituals. I pop in my earbuds and tune out the nearby noise, listen to the news while doing my daily puzzles on my mobile phone on the bus, and mentally prepare my "To Do" list. Looking around the crowded bus I always look at the similarities students wear to university, checking the popular brands and styles. At one point during my employment at the university, I created a "style" Bingo game, matching brands and styles students wear, and I always tried to figure out how these younger "starving" young adults could afford Nike Air Force One sneakers, Canada Goose parkas, Blundstone boots and the like. I do this today, sneaking a quick snap of the style and Google Lens the style (no faces of course), sometimes outwardly scrunching my face at the price of the item on my screen. No wonder these kids are starving, they can't afford ...

And Just Like That ...

  Like a cozy sweater, I wrapped myself in the past, took a deep breath and pushed play. I knew what was coming, and I was already familiar with the first episode of its release, but knowing I had full access to every episode made the experience more personal. There was no familiar theme song as it wasn't a reboot, but it had the feeling of something you know like the back of your hand, like that smell that brings you back to your grandmother's home or the taste that transports you to another time in your life. It was almost like the feeling returning to a numb limb, with which I have had recent experience, two carpal tunnel surgeries later. My brain, or rather my soul, was awakened from the fog bathed in for what seemed like forever.  I decided to use my time back in New York with ladies from my past. Although fictional, they definitely were part of my life, playing out storylines side by side with my life on the tube weekly. Having them back, 20 years later, aged and lived i...

Snow is Beautiful and Triggering

Vancouver has never been known as a winter wonderland, well, at least the actual city center, but the weather pattern has consistently turned frigid. Usually, Vancouverites are used to the dreary gray decor, cloudy and rainy 24 - 7, making the shorter days even worse, as if the Sun is wearing shades. The streets are usually lined with puddles and the locals walk around the city with black umbrellas adding to the dark wet days of winter. I have noticed some people donning vibrant coloured umbrellas, standing out from the wave of black, but this is probably more for safety from cars, scooters, e-bikes, buses and other vehicles trying to peer through the rain. I was almost hit by a car and now I have a bright yellow umbrella, hoping I don't experience that shock ever again. This past week, the weather went from unusually warm and balmy in January to an about-face in February with negative temperatures and snow falling in the city and all over the Lower Mainland. The excitement of hear...
