So… our area is now a red zone as of midnight. This is day one. I had a good cry last night about it. I’m so tired of being scared twenty-four hours a day everyday. My husband has been my rock and I hope that my feeble attempts to reciprocate are enough for him toContinue reading “Into the Red”

Absence
Ever feel like you need a break from life? This is how I’ve been feeling this past week or so. Thus, my absence from the blogging. Currently, my husband and I live in Canada. Those who have been paying attention to the news realize that our neighbours to the south have had an election thisContinue reading “Absence”
Research continues
Well, my husband and I might not have gotten everybody onboard for our dream of sailing and living sustainably aboard, however… I’ve shown some of the research that I’ve been doing with regards to solar panels and the water maker. The least expensive options are – all total – around $1300 before taxes. Online shoppingContinue reading “Research continues”
Wild Ride
It’s been a really wild few weeks since I’ve last written. Or maybe it’s only a couple? In this time, I find it easy to lose track. Huge blowout with father-in-law which almost resulted in a double suicide. He still refuses to even consider our dream viable. The only thing that kept me on thisContinue reading “Wild Ride”
True Love and poison
True Love. Does it exist? In my case, yes. You may have noticed that both words are capitalized. That was intentional. You see, True Love is hard to come by in this world, especially with the statistics to look and compare to. It is hard to locate and harder still to maintain. My husband andContinue reading “True Love and poison”
Visit follow-up and really bad scare with injury…
Oh, gods… what a horrible experience the past couple of days. Well, it wasn’t all bad, I suppose. The visit was on Monday. For those who haven’t read in previous posts, “the visit” refers to the new rental company visiting our building. We received no written notice regarding the visit; if my husband hadn’t haveContinue reading “Visit follow-up and really bad scare with injury…”
Moving day
It’s one thing I’m dreading in recent weeks; the possibility of being given notice to leave our current apartment. To bring you – the reader – up to speed, our building has been on the market since before we moved in about five years ago. We’ve had to deal with our privacy being invaded byContinue reading “Moving day”
Shopping with PTSD
Most recent shopping experience was yesterday. Let me take a moment to remind readers that we as a planet are under pandemic rules. Social distancing, masks, and other stressful things. All that s fine. Expected, even. These are the times we live in; I accept it and am largely non reactive to all of that.Continue reading “Shopping with PTSD”
Dream crusher
Yeah, I wasn’t exactly going to post another blog post so soon after my last one, but …. My husband Brent has been going on about his dream of sailing for years before dating me. We’ve been together for six years; seven in December. In fact, the instant he spoke about his dream (on ourContinue reading “Dream crusher”
Flashes
Recently, I’ve been troubled by an increase in the number of flashes. For those who don’t know what a flash is, it is a resurfacing memory which can take the form of any sensory information which occurred during the formation of the memory. My definition of it, not a dictionary one. Flashes for me tendContinue reading “Flashes”
