Booked My Flight to Edmonton

January 10th 2023

It is a mixed cloudy sunny morning, 2 C below zero. Not so cold. We take it like good weather, here in Toronto. No rain, no snow. Looks like calm quiet atmosphere. Today is Garbage pick up day, in our neighborhood. All Blue Green and Grey bins, are lined up on driveways, outside. Grey one is for garbage, which is to be picked up, on alternate weeks, while other bins, picked up every Tuesday. Blue ones, are for paper and glass. Green bin is for Kitchen stuff. 

I was working yesterday, usually I don't go to work, to play Darts on Mondays. My daughter in law has to go to work in person, on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we don't have car at home. It doesn't look nice to call my friend, for ride so I skip on Mondays. She knows about the car issue, she messaged me to have a ride. So nice of her.

Yesterday I booked my flight for Edmonton. It is by the end of next month. My back is much better, thanks to my heating pad. Now my right leg is giving me hard time. At our age, when we get up in the morning, we find something new, to tackle. Any of our body parts, starts complaining, in it's own way. We have to face and try to deal with that. This is life. Old age is one of the stage of our life. We have to mange. Take it like any other stage of life. Nothing to complain about.

My eldest daughter is to be married on 25th of February. I am happy for her. She has two sons. Eldest one, is in States, done with her medical studies, last year. Her younger one, is in third year Uni. It is not easy to manage things alone. She was doing that for years. Things now, are going to be changed. Hope she will be blessed with all the happiness in her life, in years to come. Ameen.

I have to be there to share her special moments. Edmonton is four and half hour  away, still flights take whole day. Have to be at the airport before time. Home to home takes much longer. Weather will also be tough over there, in February. Might be 40 C below zero. Let's see. Nothing is total plus. She will be happy to see me. I will be happy too. That is the big plus. My son is also going with me, that is a plus too. Nothing to complain. I am happy.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
