What makes me "me"

What makes me "me"
My hood - my peeps - my dog!

if everyone else is blogging why can't I?

So I meet this woman in my town, and turns out she's a blogaholic.

Heyyy says I, you mean you just start a blog, or in her case several blogs and thats all there's to it? Yup, says she, you can share opinions, wax editorial over things that seem important at the time and babble publicly!

Sounds good to me! I have a story to tell, several actually.

So here goes, my first venture to blog on the big www world wide whine!

Spring has sprung and almost nice weather!

 Ah April..grass is greening up, recent light snow are gone again, and the bunnies are active!  Crows, the odd robin, very cheery finches…yes morning seem hopeful that full on Spring approaches! 

This sunny April 1st was no joke.  I awoke in my bed, with access to the whole thing…all four pillows and a very soft fleecy blanket at 7:30.  Up I got, had a Robax to relax my potentially stiff back, then snuggled into my warm comfy nest in the bed.  No pain.  All warm, greeted by my friendly sunbeam…perfection.  My cell phone acts as my television remote, so I press a few buttons and the calm, soothing music I selected on Youtube before calling it a night came over the airwaves…bliss.  This dear readers is a new indulgence, usually ocean resort tunes, while enjoying my sun beam.  I think I might be a house cat?

There was a full moon last night, which since I’m a Cancer, I tend to bla,e for insomnia, and which I can also blame for me not able to settle.  So I did what needed to be done at 1 a.m.m, I washed my kitchen floor.  Lol.  This meant my house, filled with peaceful vibes this sunny morn, was shiny clean!  Excellent, as the days plan included a handsome tall guest at 10:30, then lunch with ‘da gang’ at noon.  

As I had my 1st coffee of the day, I reflected on my current life.  And concluded I am blessed!  Yes, 3 yrs ago it all seemed to crash down on me when I lost my hubby, but I survived.  And now thrive!  Not all those who loose a spouse do.  I had a great life with Mac, he was smart, generous, loving and it was always Go big or go home!  No complaints.  

But now, having moved to Alberta, I find myself involved in a new life.  I am so blessed to have a pleasant cozy apartment, a 26 year old Ikea bed which is soooo comfy, food in my fridge and cupboards…some very wonderful friends and a man who protects, provides, and cherishes me.  He has rekindled my love for hockey, and ice cream bars!  And. His bed isn't uncomfortable either 😘 Speaking of spring, after lunch we sat on his deck, and soaked in a warm sunny day, complete with two bush bunnies happily chomping on his newly green lawn!  

I on the other hand, appreciate his willingness to try my experimental attempts at cooking, and even dared to have a slab of fried Spam!  Ok, I think that was a one off…lol. P

mother Nature the prankster has promised cooler wetter weather tomorrow.  Oh well, tis spring on the prairies.  Tomorrow I will resume my senior citizen (did I really say that?) routine…maybe a whip through Costco, check my friends house plants again, then work on an art project.  

Life is good!  I feel good, he’s healthy….i have nothing to compain about.  Maybe splurge on a lottery ticket.  70 million samolians wouldn’t be too tough to take! A gal can dream can’t she..
