Yawn....Being Nocturnal Is Taking a Toll On My Motivation

I have worked so many nights that I am becoming unmotivated. It is quite boring sitting around having no energy, waiting to go to work. I must admit, the night shift drains my energy level and I have little desire to clean the house.

Anyways, here I am in my robe, still, watching the eaglets, and listening to my cat meowing. Sebastian has decided eating is important but is very finicky. With the meds I give him, he hates everything I feed him. I'm not sure if it is the Tapazole bitter taste or just the food, but he fights me on every feeding and wanders around bitching about it. He has been avoiding his meds from his food by not eating, resulting in carpet stains of cat vomit. Augggggh. I wish he could speak English so I could understand him. I'll go out and get some chicken livers today and cook them up for him. He likes those and there's loads of iron in them.

The eaglets are entertaining when being fed. I saw the eagle parent bring back a rabbit the other day. I am waiting for the neighbour's cat soon. That should be interesting. When I get bored I go and see the eagles in Stanley Park. Both were in the tree the other day. There seems to be more of an interest in the nest from the infotec eagle cam and it's popularity over the past months. Funny how certain things catch on in interest with us stupid humans.

Well I'm out for today. Bye.

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...
