This and that ...

Well it seems that Spring keeps teasing us here in Calgary with the sun but the temperatures are still on the chilly side. I guess that's better than wet & dull or cold & frozen. I'm back in Calgary. Trying to get back to "normal". Not accomplishing as much as I'd like. I don't know where the time goes in a day, although it doesn't help I suppose that my days don't start particularily early. I can't seem to get out of bed before 9am, no matter my intentions and alarms. I guess I'm still trying to recoupe some lost time and balance. Luckily I am able to take some extra sick time off from work. I thought I'd be bored by now three weeks in, and I'd be itching to go back to work next week but the reality is quite different. Oh well one day at a time. Part of me feels guilty about taking additional time / needing to take additional time. There are so many other people dealing with worse stuff and/or the same. Death - unfortunately if affects all of us at one time or another. I guess the reality of it is that me and my friends are getting to that age where our parents are older and death and illness is becoming more prevalent. To point - my dear friend Michelle P. just lost her uncle, favorite uncle, her dad #2, out of the blue - in the hospital one day and gone within three days. A shock for the entire family. My heart goes out to her. Mich I wish I could be there for you, give you a hug, share a martini, and a tear or two. Today I am multi-tasking and am also working on Dave's pictures. Started to download them from his camera but I just killed the battery. I need to get the power cord before continuing (I'm currently at my brother's place "boring" his computer). Maybe this blogging thing will be cathartic for me. I can blab on and on as if no one's listening. I think I may like this after all.
