…the home worker We cleaned out the shed today, which was supposed to be done last weekend but the weather was not good. So far, we have made $85 from selling old stuff in there and should have some more $ coming tomorrow after the Facebook bidding war has closed on Owen’s bike! Not too…
…the retiree Although we are moving we had the yard spring cleaned today, need to increase or at least keep up the curb appeal, so looking forward to the grass starting to grow and turn green. The front lawn does look pretty good when it’s green and cut nice. Was Monday today, so it was…
Through the eyes… …the teenager Well he keeps skipping his entry, need to fix that. …the home worker Today was pretty eventful! We had a virtual viewing of our rental in Nanaimo we’ve had our eye on for 2 weeks, signed our lease agreement, then at 9:20 pm we got an email saying someone wants…
…the home worker Yesterday I mentioned how today I should have been getting ready for my 3rd Evergreen Trail Trek. Today I went out and did it anyway. Partway through the day I texted my friend because I heard that maybe some people were still going out to run the course. She wasn’t sure how…
Through the eyes of… …the retiree Had a physical today, my Dr said I was in pretty good health, he said not to have a cholesterol check as going to the lab at this time was not a good idea. I also asked my Dr if he felt I was in a high risk group,…

It’s been a while since there was a post, sometimes you just need to step back. However last night I felt sad, was I human, was the feelings I was having normal? The reason for the feelings was the news of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia, and the feeling which made me sad was…
Got the furnace fixed today, although after being here an hour, all he did was put the wiring back the way it was prior to the new board going in, guess we shall see how much that costs us. I think the media needs to start back away from reporting on the virus, there is…
