Today is garbage day around here. It is also fiercely windy. So the wind has been upsetting and redistributing all the recycling from across the road, either onto my front yard or down the street. The wind has also knocked off...

I just haven't felt like interacting with anyone lately. Blame it on the weather. It's very depressing. Today's forecast is mostly cloudy but the sun looks as if it's trying to get past them. I really do need the sunshine to...

So I look out the front and there's at least a dozen swat guys out there ordering people out of #11 across the street, both ends of the street are blocked off, there's a big black humvee that looks more like a tank, weapons are...

Or maybe it's high flying fog, but whatever it is, it is blocking out the sun this morning. It's rather dark in the house at 8:15 am. I hate having to put the lights on during the day but if I want to read or stitch after I finish...

You know that saying "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes and it'll change"? That's what's happening here today in St Catharines. She's just throwing out everything in her closet. It's cloudy, it's sunny, it's snowing,...

I took a break away from stitching my castle but I didn't take a break from stitching. This is called Ferry House and measures 5"x7". It was a kit, complete with the frame. I should have scanned it before I framed it but I didn't,...

In "a conflictual situation"?
I don't think I have, though I might have been in conflict with someone or something.

Last night. Yeah, another one.
I took a loaf of sliced bread out of the fridge because I wanted to make a sandwich, but when I was ready to open the bag, I saw that the side had a big hole in it and the entire...

There's another nasty weather system aimed this way and I've seen some bits of moisture coming down. Between my poor eyesight and the screens on the windows, I can't tell what it is, but it's leaving little wet spots on the...

I went to the Centre today, and because it'll be closed next week for March break, we celebrated St Patrick's Day today. Most of us wore something green.
I was foolish in expecting corned beef and cabbage for lunch. Instead, we...

When I woke up this morning June Garber was singing (on my clock radio) "I'm gonna live live live until I die." Well, what else can one do but live until they die? I suppose if a person is famous, or at least has friends and...

But something fierce came down last night. It could have been freezing rain, or sleet, even hail but it made a hell of a racket and I wasn't going out there to see what it actually was.
Yesterday started with a few lazy flakes...

What's that crazy lady up to now?
I have a futon bed with the good old-fashioned kapok mattress. It was getting a bit flattened on the side I mostly lie on, so I decided to flip it around to even things out.

I had my CT Sunday night and my doctor's office called a few minutes ago. Apparently, the results were "normal". But it was suggested that I have an MRI. I will see my doctor on the 28th and will know if/when I have it. And then...
