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 :)

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...

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...
