Odds & ends

  • I went to run into here, including stories & life lessons virtually growing upward inwards rural Alberta, how she got started inwards music, as well as how the final 10 years of her life convey been consumed past times caring for her aging parents. It was the best-attended lecture of the serial (almost a total house).  
    • As if she needed to farther endear herself to me, she complained virtually existence "55 years one-time as well as even as well as thus spending $80 a calendar month on sanitary products," also every bit joking virtually non existence able to article of apparel white pants as well as ruining eating seat chairs. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 kindred spirit!! lol  
  • On a related note, I had my annual checkup/Pap amongst MD Ob-Gyn this calendar week (who hinted he may live on contemplating retirement.... nooooooooooo.....!!). All was well. I did complain virtually the fact that I'm 56 & even as well as thus getting to a greater extent than or less regular periods... he promised me it WILL stop, someday, as well as sooner vs later!  I told him, "It hasn't been anything I can't handle... it's simply that, after 45 years of this, I'm getting JUST a niggling tired of it!"   
    • The waiting room was PACKED amongst meaning women as well as novel mothers amongst their babies. Of course. It genuinely didn't bother me every bit much every bit it sometimes does. Thank goodness... I approximate after almost nineteen (!) years, you lot function a niggling inured to these things.
    • After my appointment, I went shopping. :) And treated myself to some cute novel summertime tops. :) 
  • We signed upward for Netflix this week. (I know, I know, I'm in all probability the final somebody on earth... hey, I'm an aging babe boomer/borderline GenXer, give me a break...!) It genuinely wasn't every bit complicated every bit I was afraid it powerfulness live on to laid up.  Any suggestions to add together to my queue (although Netflix Canada doesn't offering all the materials that's available on Netflix USA)? Right directly I'm watching flavour 1 of "The Crown."  Any sentiment when nosotros tin await for flavour 2?? 
  • Love this shipping service from Jess about "the mount that got away." The mount inwards inquiry was inwards Myanmar, but I kept thinking virtually Everest as well as Jon Krakauer's majority "Into Thin Air," as well as how as well as thus many people perished because they were as well as thus determined to hit the summit, fifty-fifty when they knew that dwindling oxygen, bad weather, darkness & plunging temperatures were upon them. Sometimes, "giving up" tin live on the smartest affair you'll e'er do.

Then BIL picked us upward at the aerodrome terminal ...
