Gratitude – Day 30

Gratitude – Day 29

I have a couple of vacation days to use or lose before the end of March, so I took the afternoon off today to work on an assignment. Got home well before the foulest of today’s weather hit and had a productive afternoon. I typed away with the world outside my windows turning white and

Words. Words words words. You can do so much with them. I’m surely not going to inspire with mine in this quick little post. Just finished writing a whole pile of them for an assignment so I’m tapped out. (Hah…see what I did there?) I also have a cat meowing at me, perched like a gargoyle,

My butt is sore and I’m pooped. Got a last-minute request to sub an aquafit class today, which I was reluctant to do because I’d planned a 5k run to practice my form. So I did both. Hah. My butt is sore from the run. That’s good, it’s starting to pull its weight. I’m pooped from combining

Gratitude – Day 26

Tuesdays are long. Up at 5 a.m. to study, full work day, teach a fitness class at 5:30 p.m. (after my fitbit has told me I’m already done for the day – hah), then off to get groceries 10% off with my Dal card. It’s 9 p.m. and I’m just now eating supper. But I

From the treadmill at physio this morning, I could see two things glowing through the semi-opaque window shade. One was a group of letters in neon red: FLOWE (a partly obscured sign for a florist shop). The other, between rooftops of Windsor Street, was a narrow slice of sunrise glowing red and orange on the horizon, signalling

My butt is tired but my quads aren’t. And that’s a good thing. It means my butt is starting to do its share of the work when I run. Isn’t it fascinating how the human body learns? We’re not cars. When something breaks in a car, the car doesn’t adapt, find another way to keep going.

Gratitude – Day 23

Ahhh, le weekend! I slept until 10 this morning which, since the holidays, has been an aberration from my 7-8 a.m. natural wake up time. On the one hand, it’s delicious. On the other, it’s a slow start to the weekend when I have a fair amount of school work to do, physio exercises and

Gratitude – Day 22

It’s a wild and crazy Friday night here, let me tell you. Four MPA students virtually gathered online to passionately discuss a case study assignment. I’d like to say I’ll have a life again once this degree is finished. Truth be told, though, Friday nights usually find me on my comfy yellow couch. It’s 16

Gratitude – Day 21

Two years ago this morning, I was up very early and driving back from PEI having left Joe in the care of good folks at the vet college, hoping they would figure out what was making him sick and fix it. By early afternoon, I was heading back to PEI to say my goodbyes and
