feeling philosophical and watching curling gold medal game at the brier

 

a walk with friends

 Howard, Anthony and I Went for a kits beach walk and it started to drizzle on us a little bit so we turned around to walk back and it stopped so we went down along the beach because the tide was out and walked along the beach, and I found some pretty rocks and a nice shell I hugged a tree for Chikako, and then we stopped at Chewies for a beer and some oysters. It was a good afternoon.

5- Difficult nite, hot flash hell

 It was a tuff nite and today is pain filled, the arthritis in my jaw is drumming a tattoo. 

did a little tidying, ate leftovers, gonna read a book just the now.

my inspiration for the day

A Hushed And White Winter Wonderland

 And boy what a mess it was out there.  2 blocks, found my pic and around the block and back home.

Thoughts for the Day: Having some repetitive nightmare nights on a loop, hoping by putting it out there I will chase them from my subconscious and have a more peaceful nite.

White Rabbits for Luck on the first of the month tomorrow mornin!

My Brain is an funny place to live

 Sooo, today I began to declutter again.  I have been in this process for more than a year and this current round is because I have a large swathe of Chikako’s things I haven’t wanted to donate or part with.

It means I need a sweep of everything I kept last year to see what I will part with now to make room.

Once again the song Here I go again on my own, is playing in ma brain.  So 3 hours of re-organzing shelving unit and I know where everything is again and tackle the rubbermaid containers tomorrow.

nitey nite

Snow!Snow!Snow! + Curling

 wow, a surprising amount of wet heavy snow.  Luckily it was a sunny day and it was doing a good job of melting the white stuff. 

Spent the day reading + watching the semifinals and finals of the Scotties.

Here We Go Again

 It’s been a verra long time since I posted on this blog.  It’s time to start again.  Hoping to kickstart some healing and work through the overwhelming grief of losing a piece of my Heart when I lost Chikako.

It seems only fitting to start with food. I made Mutti’s Goulash today.  I’ve had to do a lot of cooking to adhere to the strict food regimen required to heal from the immune disorder eosonophilic gastroenteritis.

Been a long haul since Christmas but am beginning to see dividends and am hopeful between the meds and my diligence I am on my way.

hence the title Here I Go Again On My Own ( the whitesnake song’s on a loop in ma brain) 

Yummm
