Quarantine Sunday, April 19, 2020
Happy Ukrainian Easter, everyone! “Khrystos Voskres!” “Voistynu Voskres” ****** I had a horrible realization yesterday, but it wasn’t about the world, it was about me. However, in the world, Canada and the US extended their border restrictions for 30 more … Continue reading

Quarantine Friday April 17th 2020
Day 36 of the quarantine and day 2 of my pepper plant experiment – and it’s still alive! (as are we.) Also, we tried something that could have ended in horrible death or mutilation. In the outside world, there were … Continue reading

Quarantine Wednesday April 15th 2020
Joy can come in the oddest ways these days. At 10am and 4pm, I was almost delirious with happiness. However, a lot more happened today than that. Outside our house, in New Zealand, their prime minister took a 20% pay … Continue reading

Quarantine Tuesday April 14th.
Nothing went as I thought it would, today, but that’s not always a bad thing (despite my need to control everything in a god-like way.) First, in the outside world – Boris Johnson, the English prime minister, is getting better. … Continue reading

Quarantine Monday April 13th 2020

Quarantine Thursday April 9th 2020
Having spent a sleepless night worrying about The-Prettiest-Girl-in-the-World’s sudden onset of… what, a cold, of Covid-19, who knows, but I guess I lost my sense of humor. I mean, what if despite our BEST efforts, she has the stupid virus? … Continue reading

Quarantine Tuesday April 7th 2020
I have a confession, but first, let’s look at where the world is at. In Japan, the Prime Minister declared a state of emergency. No more Pokemon Go-ing. In BC, lotto sales are down, which astounds me, I would have … Continue reading
