tcihwm (mostly eating, some reading)

Brainstorming and ice cream on the first day of summer! Found out that the local ice cream shop does half and half, so you can get 1 scoop, 2 flavours and a waffle cone for the best of all worlds! And a good spot to sit, enjoy and people watch. Don’t ask me to walk …

Where the light gets in

I don’t have much to say these days. I’m trying to just stay afloat, and find joy where I can. I’ve made some amazing batches of popcorn, journaled lots, enjoyed some favourite comfort foods (once I get my butt to the grocery store and back home, take a breath and put food on the table). …

best friends, best ideas

I finished work early today (minor miracle) and made my way to the library. It is no longer wrapped in caution tape, so that was nice. Still, some signage suggesting all previously touched materials were to be placed in non-existent bins was a tad confusing. Books really are the best of friends, full of amazing …

Friday is finally here. Bubbles are all anyone’s talking about these days– mine is small. Small bubbles have essentials, like chocolate, Ichiban soup, and rootbeer with borrowed library materials on the side. I survived the week and I survived the day, which sounds more dramatic than it really was this time around, but still I …

Thursday

It’s been a trend of feast and famine lately. The office is lacking in envelopes, I spilled hot chocolate and soy sauce all over my desk today. Numerous technological failings means that my workload has been increasing all week. I’ve determined that I don’t like kombucha. I do love pretzels. The lady ahead of me …

New collection of my thoughts, adventures and oddities. Yesterday: I have no wifi on this side of the library. But I can’t bring myself to pay the demands required to have a home wifi connection for 1 hour of connective content in a day. Reading a curious composition right now, Good News for a Change, …

timed_troubles

Recently, someone on the radio, a nurse or doctor working in the hospital on the front lines during COVID-19 said that, “A day feels like a week, and a week feels like a year.” That is accurate. I have actually seen the number of case-files for our team more than double overnight. In other news, …

thank you!

This week was short, just 4 days – I only did any Admin-ing on 3 of them. But it felt like forever! The long weekend was beautiful and full of good food and good friends. Tuesday was a mess, Wednesday was ridiculous, Thursday caught a glimpse of redemption, and Friday I spent making reckless decisions and …

Good things (10)

New year, new leaf. Much gratitude. Noteworthy reads: The Library Book, An Echo in the Bone, and Split Tooth Work team at full capacity and I’ve reclaimed my regular hours Jan 18: Jon & Roy concert on Bowen was fantastic — especially in combination with sibs, nachos, burgers, beer and apple pie à la mode 🙂 Jan …

light-hearted

I have such gratitude for the past few weeks of slowing down and enjoying the rhythm of the days: Christmas eats, beach-walks, books and movies, to name just a few of my favourite things. I hope in 2020 I can be more clear-headed and light-hearted and continue to find paths of wellness and gratitude going …
