Friday's snow storm was just an appetizer for the main course. Sunday night it started and snowed all day Monday. thankfully, we knew Sunday night that work was cancelled on Monday as were all the busses. And today as well, plus no busses until 5 pm. to help keep the roads clear for the snow removal teams. It'll make the rest of the week go quickly ( Read more... ) -

Predictions and warnings about a big storm overnight. I never know what to do. Do i wait and see if work cancels? Do I take a vacation day and end up wasting it because they cancel work? I always save extra days so it's not that big a deal but it's annoying if that happens. By the time I went to bed, not a lot of snow had fallen. It seemed that ( Read more... ) -

You know I love to read, I post regularly about the books I've read. I belong to a nice group of enthusiasts on Goodreads as well and I've been thinking of doing a reading blog. New Year, New things, so I started one. I know I'll be putting reviews there. I'm not a great reviewer, not like some people i read on various sites where they manage to ( Read more... ) -
2016 in review
2016 has been pretty good for me. I know some people had a sucky one and I hope I have been supportive wherever possible. For me, this year has been one of the better ones, the highlight being Graham finally moving to Canada and gaining residency status. Nobody close to me died this year, though I have a feeling 2017 might not be so kind. I have ( Read more... ) -

Christmas was lovely as always and just that more special this year because G. is finally here to share it with me and my family. I think we showed him a really good family Christmas and he says he felt part of it all. We have been Skyping with his family for a couple of weekends now, though it means getting up early to be online by 8 a.m.! We ( Read more... )
