I really can’t explain why I haven’t done a blog in so long. Maybe just been down a bit due to COVID plus not too much is new.
Mike and I are currently painting most of the house. We just finished the living room and next is the stairwell and upstairs hall. Like I’ve heard so many times before, just some paint can transform one’s abode. We work amazingly well together so it actually makes painting enjoyable.
We have a new visitor. Look at this adorable, sad little face:
Unfortunately, he’s looked in and seen the four naked ladies that live here, which sparked some interest and lead to some spraying on our deck door. Can’t really say I blame him.
Mike and I have been going on walks during the evenings. It’s been really nice and refreshing. My boots have been rubbing on the backs of my heels, which is a wee bit uncomfortable. I ordered Kinesiology Tape (three rolls for $17 on Amazon) and it has been the perfect solution. There’s my little product plug for anyone who has footwear or anything else that rubs.
Here are some of the views from our lovely walks:
It’s interesting to see the locks and canal from the ground, as I’ve typically seen them from the air. The water levels of the canal are considerably low right now:
Vyctor never disappoints with the views he provides.
The kitties have all been doing well. Mya had a bit of a rash on the back of her neck and kept licking it. I thought a sweater would be far more comfortable and stylish than the cone of shame:
No matter what she’s wearing, nothing will stop her from getting to her feeding sanctuary when she gets hungry. Not even Pinky:
I’m going to make a valiant effort to blog more often again. It’s bothered me quite a bit that I’ve been such a slacker. I can only imagine the grief I’ve caused people, not getting regular updates on our adorable daughters and flying adventures. Stay tuned!
Today’s symptoms: Well I guess I have a few months to cover. Things have been fairly stable with a few bumps here and there. Bouts of insomnia have paid me some visits, which always exacerbates my MS symptoms. For the last week or so, I’ve been experiencing some eye pain and worse than normal headaches. I see my eye doctor next week – I’m hoping to report back with a clean bill of eye health.

So good to hear from you. So you are still flying? Has covid affected your access to the club?
Thanks for the pictures. Good to see what is going on. It’s been a bit of a drag these days 😳😬🤯 take care 🧚
Hey Sandy! I’m definitely still flying, as they will just pull my plane out and I don’t have to be near anyone. Those flying days are quite uplifting as is looking forward to gardening in the Spring. How are you doing? What have you been up to?
I bet the flying days are very uplifting! I too am looking forward to spring. Still slogging along . Brighter days ahead though‼️😄👍🤓
When I said still flying? I meant becuz of covid
I’m happy to see your blog Liz. Like everyone else i have been hunkered down,reading ebooks on my Kobo, doing my Globe and Mail cryptic and quick crossword puzzles each day and other puzzles from The Saturday Star. A friend sent me a table runner to embroider which filled in some hours. I don’t have much ambition for in-depth house cleaning but I remind myself of the plaque I had years ago which had “our home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy”. When the temp went above zero and the sun came out this past week I restarted my walks around the neighbourhood. I keep track with the “Fit” programme and am slowing building up the distance.
I am so glad to have had my son Rick with me. He came for Christmas 2018 and decided to move to On from Sask. He has done so much building, repairing around the house and does all the shopping.He is also trying to bring me up to date with the functions of the computer, ipad and telephone, but I’m afraid it is a losing battle. I will be 87 May 3rd and my memory is getting very bad but otherwise my health is pretty good. I’m looking forward be able to get out to do some gardening.
Good luck with your eyes.
Greetings Doris. It’s so nice to hear from you! It sounds like you’re keeping busy. What kind of books are you into? That’s great you’ve restarted your walks. Mike and I have been walking most nights for an hour or so. It’s been so nice and refreshing, and helps me sleep a bit better. Like you, I’m really looking forward to the nice weather so I can start gardening. Last year I did all the prep-work for putting in the gardens this year. Right now, we’re painting most of the inside of the house. We finished the basement, including new flooring, plus just finished painting the living room and kitchen. Everything looks so nice, bight and refreshed.
So nice to hear your son moved here! Both he and I are lucky as we have super cute, great moms!
