Has It Been That Long?

Hello old friend. It has been quite the little journey I have been on in the past month. Many changes have occurred and many more may change in the future.
Work has had quite a grip on my life lately and I have had little time for anything else. It will take a stronger hold in the next month as the Chef quite and I am taking on his roll. This means loads of work for me and no days off until everything settles down. Before that we have to survive the busiest time of the year---Gay Pride Weekend. It should be the busiest time of the year and I am not looking forward to it. I hope to negotiate a better wage for myself, being in charge. Considering the lack of organization, it should be a breeze, with my Mahoney's experience behind me. There will be many changes to the procedures in the kitchen to make it run efficiently and make everyone's life smoother. I also hope to change the order guide a bit to make this little pub not such of a prep nightmare...
I have been working so much, I haven't had much time with my old friends. The time that I do have with them, one in particular, has been kinda concentrated. I try and make the best of each visit because I can never say when I am gonna have time to see them again. With my new promotion in the process, he has been quite supportive and seems pretty happy about me taking the job. My news about moving to the Island was a bit of a shock to him. He is very happy that I have a good job and am securing my roots. Hmmmm I wonder why....Anyways he wants to rent a boat and go out on it with me if I have time while he has time off. Heehee
My personal life is pretty boring and I am starting to get a bit antsy on this whole relationship thing. We are more like roommates now and friends rather than partners. I am wondering what the future holds, but I can't wait forever and the move to the Island doesn't look as inviting as it did a year ago.
I have been quite addicted to eagles and have that as a hobby right now. When I have time, I go out in search of local eagle nests. I have watched two eaglets grow up on the internet and also in Stanley Park. I have also made some friends on a chat board from the eagle site. I have been working late nights so it is nice to chat after work....especially when I work until 2am and don't wake up until 1pm.

So that's my life in short and I hope to continue this blog space if I have time.

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...

Crush...

crush Function: noun 1 : an act of crushing 2 : the quantity of material crushed 3 a : a crowding together (as of peo ple) b : CROWD, MOB; especially : a crowd of people pressing against one another 4 : an intense and usually passing infatuation ; also : the object of infatuation Experiencing a crush has interesting effects on your life. It's amazing how easily one can fall into a crush. Is it called a crush because that is the feeling when the recipient of the crush (or victim) reject any advances? I find it incredible that this phantom infatuation can be so powerful at times, no matter whether you are a giggly little teen or a grown woman. It is like a tractor beam pulling your millennium falcon towards the death star; like the strongest vortex vacuum dragging you into its rotator heads---you'll be a shredded mess once you pass through the nozzle. I can't explain how this even happened in the first place. It did happen almost a year ago, and hasn't really stopped. H...
