I did some

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 27 Mar

Not much, but I did do some and now feel better for it. What did I do? Some yard work. I cleaned up the mess some critters made by digging into a yardwaste bag I had on the patio. Then I fixed the little decorative picket fence...

Solar eclipse?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 26 Mar

According to my horoscope, there's supposed to be a solar eclipse on the 29th, but it doesn't say where. It's supposed to be "an opportunity for you to nurture the parts of yourself and your life that need TLC or that tend to burn...

I'm up, I'm up!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 26 Mar

Got up at 7am, peed, opened the blinds, checked the temp (-1°C/30°F), checked my internal readings... headache, right foot extremely sore, knee complaining too... So I went back to bed and immediately fell asleep again. But I got...

I did a bad thing

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 25 Mar

I ate an entire 200 gram bag of gummies. The package states that 9 pieces equal 40 grams which in turn equal 140 calories. Not sure how many pieces there were but 40 grams goes into 200 grams 5 times. So I guess I just had 700...

Yup

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 22 Mar

It's another no pants day. It may be 8°C/48°F out there but its also murky... sorta raining, sorta not, but it certainly isn't shining sun. Not sure what I'm going to do today, maybe read or do the dishes (yeah, I should probably...

One day to Spring

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 19 Mar

And the day is starting out warm and sunny and I'm watching a couple birds out my window doing what I'm assuming the mating dance. "He" sneaks up to "her" and "she flies away, but not too far. Then "he" sneaks up to "her" again,...

It was a dark and stormy... noon?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 15 Mar

We're getting rain here in St Catharines... and it's a bit dark out there... and oh my! we just got some thunder, too. It's 15°C/59°F but supposed to reach 21°C/70°F. It was windy earlier but now it's quite still out there. I...

Is it true

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 11 Mar

I saw my doctor yesterday, and she wanted to put me on metaformin, to decrease my cravings for sweets, among other things (polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic syndrome). When I mentioned it to a friend who thinks she knows...

Have you cleaned your mouse lately

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 10 Mar

The internet boys have been mucking about with the lines all last week, looking for the break, so my connection has been coming and going sporadically. Just a while ago, it went out again, so I decided to clean my mouse. It gets a...

Alberta Clipper

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 8 Mar

Alberta Clippers are caused by low-pressure systems that form when warm winds from the Pacific Ocean collide with the colder air over the Rocky Mountains. The system moves east before getting swept up into the jet stream, which...

New countries?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 6 Mar

I came across these terms in an email from Open Media: "the federated states of Musk ... Bezostan or Zuckerville..." I just thought I'd share this with you. I may even start using them myself.

Stop it!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 6 Mar

Stop it, I say. Stop it, stop it, STOP IT! It's snowing again. And the temperature keeps dropping a degree everytime I check. (Guess I should stop checking it, then .) The snow doesn't seem to be...

A bit of weirdness

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 5 Mar

It got really dark around 4:30 this afternoon. It rained quite heavily, then the sun came out. Now at 5:11 it's bright and sunny and not raining anymore, but there's quite a few little ponds out there now. The temperature is...

Happy and sad

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 28 Feb

But mostly sad. Happy that my local NDP candidate won re-election last night but sad, so sad, that PCs won the province. Jennie Stevens, my local MPP, was elected for the third time to represent the riding of St Catharines....

Water water everywhere

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 24 Feb

Dripping off roofs, pooling on the ground where it can't run off anywhere. It's 8°C/48°F out there! Winds at 51km/hr, about 32 mph, strong enough to push me around, and I weigh 130 lbs/59 kg.

No flame throwers were used

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 23 Feb

I spent a couple hours tunnelling out from my back door to the city sidewalk. It was heavy work, but if it doesn't snow tonight, I'll try to make it out to the road tomorrow and catch a bus to the mall. I still have to return that...

That's enough exercise for now

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 22 Feb

The sun is out, nice and bright, only -2°C/28°F, so not really cold at all After lunch I went out and cleared away some of the snow from my back door, and made a path to under my patio cover. I had to sit on my...

More of the same

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 20 Feb

The weather forecast says sleet, but that's not sleet. That's snow. MORE snow, on top of the snow that's on top of the snow that's on top of the ice that covered the snow... You get the idea, and you probably have the same at your...

In case you were wondering

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 19 Feb

I got my test result from Ontario Health in today's mail... Once again, my poop passed the test and the result is normal. But the thing with this test is, it wouldn't have predicted my diverticulosis, or any polyps for that...

At least the sun is shining

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49083) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18 Feb

More times than not in the past 73 years, it's been a sunny day on the 18th of February. My mother told me that it was so warm on this day back in '52, that my father took his coat off walking from the bus stop after visiting us...
