Good-bye cool April

by

It’s really become quite cool in the last week or so. I’m glad that it will be May tomorrow and that April will be long gone .. it wasn’t the April I’d been hoping for at all. March was warmer.

We actually had snow in April … we didn’t even have any snow in March! That is odd for a Canadian winter, but it happened. March was so beautiful, so warm, especially towards the end of the month when the weather was in the 70’s and even the 80’s for a few days that I started thinking about getting out the patio furniture. I suppose I could have, but it would have sat unused for most of April the way the weathers been.

I know it sounds like I’m complaining. Sounds like – I suppose I am complaining – however, I am happy that we had a very warm winter and April wasn’t absolutely freezing or anything. The plants in my garden still grew and bloomed. Spring progressed. It just felt like a setback after the glorious weather of the previous month.

Was the last month a lot cooler for you than you’d been expecting? Are you looking forward to things warming up so that you can get outside and enjoy the season and whatever outdoor activities you want to do?





It’s getting cold again

by

I can’t believe it’s going to be so cold tomorrow. I thought it was Spring – not winter. We might even get some snow! Isn’t that terrible. We’re near the end of April – after a beautiful warm winter and decent spring and we might get snow after two seasons that barely had any snow? Odd! LOL

No no … it’s time for us to be outside wearing light jackets or not coats at all .. perhaps even shorts and tank tops! Sandals!

One great thing about my neighborhood is that once the weather is nice and even when it isn’t – people are outside visiting each other, working on their houses and their yards, walking or biking everywhere. Parents are walking their kids to the school just down the street, pregnant women are walking around in hip maternity clothes and almost everyone is friendly. Perhaps not friendly enough to stop and talk but at least to wave hello or to smile or nod your head at – make eye contact and so on.

I’ve been in this neighborhood now for 11 years and I know pretty much everyone nearby. I know people in part because it’s a friendly neighborhood and in part because until I became ill and had to take some time off work I was a nurse in the Emergency ward at the hospital down the street from my house and eventually a lot of neighbors end up coming through the emerg either as patients themselves or with friends and relatives so it’s not hard to get to know them a little bit that way.

The only time I’ve ever found this neighborhood quite or “dead” was this past Christmas. I was alone myself and there just seemed to be no one around. Everyone was away.

Hopefully the weather warms up soon and it doesn’t snow tomorrow. I’d really hate to have to pull out the shovel again! Just when my garden is really starting to do fanatically!

Successful shopping spree

by

I finally got out to do some much needed shopping. I went out to the mall yesterday. Only for a little while, but it was a good trip. You know, sometimes you go shopping and you can’t find a thing you like and other times everything you look at is perfect? Well yesterday was one of those rare “everything is perfect” days.

I bought a new purse. I really needed a new purse! Then I visited several of my favorite clothing stores and managed to pick up a few new tops, blouses, pants and one skirt. Yeah! The only thing that I really need that I didn’t get was a new pair of shoes. I guess that means another shopping trip … next weekend?

During my shopping spree I took a little break near the malls big fountain. There were two musicians there, playing music for the passersby. One was playing an acoustic guitar and the other was playing what I think was a Luna Guitars Bass. Together they sounded pretty good. It certainly made my little break all the nicer.

I needed the shopping trip. I’ve lost some weight in the last few months and I definitely needed new clothes. In fact I could probably use a lot of new clothes!

So busy, so tired

by

I am so tired today. I stayed up late last night and then I couldn’t get to sleep when I finally went to bed and I’m paying for it now. Yawn! Trouble is, I have a lot of work to get done today.

It doesn’t help that my phone keeps ringing and interrupting me from the work I’m doing on my computer. I’m seriously thinking of unplugging the phone. I have to get a few articles written, update some blogs, and do some behind the scenes work on a few of my sites. I’m not even going to include the housework that I need to get done because there’s no way I’m going to get to that today!

One of the phone calls that disrupted me was a friend calling me about a medical question. I guess he’s been trying to bulk up so he’s been drinking protein shakes and taking something called P6. I had to look that one up. He was wondering about p6 extreme side effects so I looked it up for him since I was in front of my computer – which I’m sure he knew I’d be and he felt a little better after our conversation. Personally I think he looks fine just the way he is and hope he doesn’t get cared away with these supplements etc.

Well, I’d better get back to work! Or have a nap … hmmm that sounds good.

Interesting News Day

by

This seems to be a historic day in many ways. I was just watching the news and I realized that it’s the 30th anniversary of the signing of The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – April, 17th, 1982. The Charter is still controversial even 30 years after it was created!

Then … there was a story about the Space Shuttle Discovery’s last trip. It flew on the back of an airplane as it was taken to Washington to be placed in the Smithsonian Museum. It’s hard to believe that there aren’t going to be any more Space Shuttles and that there doesn’t seem to be anything created to replace them as of yet. Well … maybe these galactic looking boots might do the trick? They’re called Alpinestars SMX 5 Boots and to me they look like they’d be perfect for space travel. LOL Yeah I’m just kidding but do take a look, they’re funky.

In my little world .. nothing historic going on here I’m afraid. I’m tired, I’m hungry and I have sore feet. Hmmm … what to do.
