I am a grandma!

 Well, 10 months in from my shoulder. Can't believe it still isn't totally healed. Got to keep on with the exercises. Work is totally fucked up. Don't know where to go anymore. So tired of company politics. But who knew old age would be so profitable. Collecting Old Age Security and Provincial Retirement. Even with taxes taken off, still will be of help. Maybe I can start looking for that new car soon?  Not much else to talk about. Life is kind of boring right now. Same old, same old. Look for the bright spots, people. Enjoy the sunsets, or sunrises. Me, I like to look at the watch the ducks in the park. Interesting to see the interactions of the males and females. Probably going to have lots of ducklings soon.  Anyhow, in these tough times, be kind to others, but also be kind to yourselves. Be good to each other and take care of you.  Love to all.

 Well, in a few hours I turn 66. Not a big deal. Never even thought I would make it to this. HAHA.  Shocked my doctor. Went for my 6-month check up. They were testing my mobility with my shoulder. His diagnosis: Holy Shit. I guess I exceeded where he expected me to be at this time. I have worked at it, basically by just using the arm as I normally would. Don't have much else to talk about, pretty boring life. To everyone, keep on keeping on. 

 Almost 22 months since the pandemic started. I know people are getting tired of the regulations, but they are there to protect everyone. Still, there are people who are so selfish, they just demand attention. They are doing stupid things. So sad and frustrating.  Arm is doing much better. I don't think I will ever get 100% back, but I am happy with where it is at right now, about 85%. As long as I can do what I need to do, I am happy.  I'm trying to keep working from home, at least for the next 3 months. Hope they will accept it. Dogs get so stressed out when I am not here. Although, the way they greet me when I do work in the office all day is so sweet. They are happy I am back home. Have had back pain the last few days. Thought I would get out my mats and do some stretching exercises. Yeah. Good luck with that. Hahaha. Pups figured they would take over the mats. Can't blame them. It has been so cold, the bare floor must be torture. Oh, well. With time they will move of...

 Really made a mess of myself. Broke my shoulder and had to have surgery to repair it.  The surgery went well, plate and pins in place. Interesting bandage they put as I was allergic to the tape they originally used, The darker marks are blisters from the tape. I hope I heal quickly. Everyone tells me not to expect anything for at least 6 months. I don't think so.

Cassidy and pups. Finally got to see Cassidy for a few hours on Mother's Day. She was happy to see my pups, and I think they were happy to see her too.  The pup on the right is soon to be part of the family too. They are adopting him, Charlie, from the same person in Mexico that rescued my two. Damn COVID is delaying him coming to Canada. I am sure he will be well worth the wait. Other than that, it is now 14 months of working from home. No sign of when we will get back to our offices. Might not be until January. They will be moving our offices, so we will have to go in and pack everything. So glad I scanned all my files. That much less to pack up. At least the weather is getting better. Need a few solid days of warmth for my apartment to warm up. Until then, slippers and sweaters. But my tulips are starting to bloom and my peonies are coming back and growing. Last year they got mowed and weed whacked. Replanted them in a safer place and they are growing again.   

 It is now 9 months that I have been working from home. So tired of this. People are being idiots and not listening to the rules of the health services. How selfish. Haven't seen my family for a while. Won't see them (except by zoom) for Christmas. I am forgetting how to talk to people. Work is insane at the moment. I know the vaccine is here, but I don't even know when, or if, I will be able to get it. What do people not understand about this situation? I am tired. And now Winter is setting in. The cold is getting to me. At least I will be having Christmas eve dinner with a neighbor. That is something I am looking forward to. I am also turning 65 next year. So many big events. Arggghhhh!!

I have lived here 45 years now. I have never seen Canada geese in our park. It has been so hot the past couple of days. Poor pups can't get a decent walk. Not sure what caught their attention. Just one of our many short walks. Will have Cassidy for the next couple of days. That should be interesting as I am currently working from home.
