How's your family tree?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 23 Dec

Mine just dropped another leaf... my cousin Benny just died, complications from pneumonia. I'm not sure how old he was, in his 50s anyway. He had 3 or 4 kids. You can tell we weren't close, but he was very likeable.

Another lovely day in paradise

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 11 Dec

I woke up at 7:30 and managed to get out of bed with nothing untoward happening, so I had breakfast and went online for a bit. But then my eyes started gluing themselves shut so I flopped on the couch and had a bit of a nap. My...

Remember I told you about knocking my wooden kitty shelf-sitter ornament off the shelf and one of the legs shooting off into oblivion? Well, I found it today in a place I would never think it could go. Especially as it sounded...

Yup, not happening

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 26 Nov

I woke up about 8am, peed, put on socks and shoes and a sweater, then put out the garbage and recycling. Then decided being horizontal and snug in my bed was the thing for me. Didn't have any tea, breakfast or my meds. Didn't...

Did you have a Lite-Brite?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 26 Nov

Or Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots? I didn't, I was already "too mature" for such childish things, but I knew of them. They were invented by Burt Meyer, who has now gone to that great playroom in the sky. He was...

It's started

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 24 Nov

They've started playing Christmas tunes on my favorite radio station. Luckily, I listen to a mostly all jazz station, so it's not too bad, so far.

Is falling from the sky! And I bet it's cold, too. That's what I get for snoozing on the couch... not asleep but not fully awake either. Time to throw another log on the fire... but I don't...

Not liking this weather

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 17 Oct

The temperature is 11°C/52°F at 11:18am and my fingers are freezing. The predicted high for today is only 14°C/57°F, cloudy, and chance of rain 60%, so I'll be staying in today, again, unless I put on my parka and rain...

Stormy Weather

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 7 Oct

That's what was playing on my clock radio when I dragged myself out of bed this morning. And while it wasn't exactly "stormy" outside, it was raining extremely heavily, and it was darker than you'd expect: I had to put on the...

Should I be worried?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 29 Aug

I used to get all sorts of spam email showing up in my 'regular' email. I'd always mark it as spam, then delete it. Sometimes there'd be a dozen or more of them. But for the last week or two, I haven't received any, and I'm...

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (50982) • St. Catharines, Ontario 29 Aug

Dental hygienist, y'know, the one who scrapes at your teeth and pokes your gums then scrubs your teeth with a little floor polisher and paste wax? Well, maybe not that last bit. Anyway, I had a cleaning schduled for Friday, August...
