I didn’t get quite the amount of work done this weekend that I had planned, but overall I am satisfied. I really am very bad at painting, I have the skills of a 9-yr-old, and it shows in the splatters and drips. I don’t care though, I will be happy with it when it is [...]

Ok, I have a plan for prepping for the next couple of weeks. Since there is about a foot of snow on the ground, I have to admit that once again, I missed the tulip-planting window.  Another $30 left on the floor of the carport…
Saturday - paint the den, and fix the bathroom tap, and [...]

My house is such a mess. Just cluttered and messy, and I have to decorate for the staff xmas party next week. I host it at my house each year and as the group gets bigger it gets more fun and more festive. Last year we did karaoke and it was SO BAD the neighbour [...]

My friend the personal trainer read me the riot act about my ankle today, and explained all the reasons why I must be very careful not to re-injure it again. He even used the phrase, ‘at your age’ which I choose to interpret as  ’at your young age’ and not ‘ at your advanced state [...]

I have noticed that people who live in more [...]

“As you pour that glass of wine or two when you get home tonight, you might want to think about the price you’re paying for the daily ritual of taking the edge off.  That drink – which, admit it, is usually two or three as you ease into the weekend – costs you about $2,000 [...]

Damn I want something chocolate.

I have become interested in the paleo diet, and think I will start working the principles into my life. Coming from someone who has allowed fatty fried and processed stuff to take front and centre over the last 2 weeks this might be hard to believe…lol.
I just need to refocus and I am looking for [...]

Last whine about my ankle, I promise. It still hurts and I have been reading up on ankle rehab….apparently I should take things very slowly. The fact that I keep reinjuring it, even mildly, is not good. So I am not running at all for another couple of weeks, and I haven’t got to the [...]
