It is. She is going to follow up with her doctor this week.

Likely. Don't want to overstep but hard not to.

Omg...a friend who is a stroke survivor and has ckd was told by his neurologist that the only pain killer he can take is Aleve! My late husband, who was also a stroke survivor was told to never take it. (He died from congestive heart failure). Which advice is correct? Very confusing.

We used to do weekend jaunts to Vegas (2 1./2 hrs from Vancouver). Flights are really cheap.No more.

I needed a chuckle this morning.

Yeah, this. Thanks, Allison, for the truth. And the laugh.

Political farce in Victoria as B.C. Conservatives left with duelling leaders Vaughn Palmer: The Conservative party fired Rustad Wednesday and named a new leader. Rustad insisted he's still leader and refused to leave

I don't mind a little either. One year was so bad I got a snowblower. Luckily, haven't had to use it since. Of course lol.

My BIL has opted to have spinal surgery in the US because the doctor who's doing has persuaded him that the wait list here in BC is 1 - 2 years, and he can have it done there in 2 to 6 weeks. For a lot of money, of course. Are the wait lists really that long? Wow.

Decided to check on the chickens before I went to sleep. Noticed a bunch of 'em including the babies were sleeping scattered around the porch instead of in the coop like they usually do

He appears to have rhinophyma on his nose (bumps caused by rosacea). Explains the make up. He needs a nap. Also.

A female snowy owl sits on a pole. It is in the process of grooming its feathers. its face features closed eyes and an open beak which gives the impression it is laughing.

In my continued efforts to remedy photos that lacked alt text, a snowy owl. They often appear as if they just heard a great joke.

So welcome each new year with gratitude instead of fear, for the chance to expand, to evolve,
and to continue becoming the most powerful version of yourself.
