Goodbye

The memories are bitter-sweet

Of our time together

Sometimes things were heavy

Or they were light as a feather

It brings a tear to my eye

Knowing it’s the end

Our time together’s precious

You’re such a dear dear friend

But now that you are leaving

And soon we’ll be apart

You have no real idea 

What that does to my heart

It leaves me feeling empty

Alone and free-falling

What will I do

If it’s not you I’m calling

No one can replace 

What you mean to me

Life can change so suddenly 

Just you wait and see

When the time does come

That you wish that I was there

Please don’t ever forget

That I’ll always care 

The choices we make are hard

And affect much more than you

But I know your mind’s not changing 

No matter what I do

So goodbye for now my friend 

I will miss you dearly

Maybe in the days to come

You’ll see things more clearly

This just came to me. I haven’t had a recent falling out with anyone or anything. It just is what wanted to be written…hey! For some reason yesterday’s post didn’t publish correctly. So it may look like there were two posts today. But the first is from yesterday!! No IKEA today – lol. Night all💤😴

Good Old…IKEA!! lol

Guess where we went today…stumped? Well you shouldn’t be! We went to our friendly neighbor hood IKEA!! Well isn’t that something new and different?? Nope! A whole lot of same old same old! I think I’ve actually lost track of how many times we’ve been there over the past week! Definitely the majoyof the days! We got the upper shelves, to go above our tv in the living room. They match the new ones we’ve gradually been buying throughout the past week. Today we met my mom and dad there. My dad wanted to take a look at how they get mounted, to see if he would be able to put them up on our wall with the weirdly strangely spaced studs. Fortunately it was doable! So, we bought them and then mom and dad came over and my dad and my hubby put up the new shelves, while mom and I played with airplanes with my son for a bit – yup! The fun never ends st my house! Paper airplanes here we go! We each made our own then took turns trying to hit different targets that my son set up. Afterwards, mom and I went to Sobeys and picked up one of those pre-cooked fryer chickens for supper and combined it with some leftovers we had at home and some wine.  It was a good and easy meal! After my parents left, we did some getting ready for school tomorrow type things, including bathing various kiddos! My daughter came home from work feeling awful, again! She has a bit of a fever and feels like she’s going to throw up…her throat hurts and her ear is plugged. She said that she was literally swallowing back vomit while working today. Yuck! I’m worried and so is she about if she has to call in sick again tomorrow. She truly is sick but she gets sick so easily and she’s afraid that they won’t keep believing her. I told her to go to sleep and get some rest and see hi she feels in the morning. Hopefully she’ll feel better – but I have a feeling she may not…I guess we just wait and see! My hubbby has a super sore throat too and thinks that he’s getting sick…such healthy people I’m living with. I’m going to go to bed. Gotta keep healthy! Night all💤😴

IKEA…Yet Again

We made yet another trip to Ikea today. I feel like I’ve been there a lot over the past few days. We bought a small corner shelf to match the new tv stand that we bought. While there we saw that you can buy matching upper shelves that don’t stick out as much as the original ones that we bought and returned. I really like them. My hubby is concerned about securing them to the wall, due to the lack of studs in that wall. My dad is going to look at how you install them to see if he can get it to work. Fingers are crossed, because I do like how it looks with the top shelves in place. With the tall shelf that’s now in our living room, we put a glass door on the front and on those top two shelves I was finally able to display my precious moments collection. I’ve had it packed away, because there was no where to put any of them. I’m so happy that now I do. Gosh! For some reason my eyes won’t stop watering right. Ow! They hurt too. Weird. I wonder what is going on… I’ve been thinking about my cousin in California taking care of my ailing aunt and uncle. I can’t even imagine how difficult it would be, to have to care for your parents as they get dementia and having them both so sick simultaneously.  It just sucks. Apparently they were/are side by side in hospital beds in their living room, holding hands; which is beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. So sad. My mom talked to my cousin today and she’s had some help at least, going it totally alone would be extremely difficult. Being the caregiver is so difficult. Hopefully she’s remembering to take care of herself. Well, on this sad note, I’m going to head to bed, because I’m on the verge of falling asleep. Night all💤😴

Uncle Joe & Auntie Janet

Dedicated to my aunt and uncle. They aren’t doing well right now and we know the time is near. I love you very much❤️
Feeling saddened by the thought,

Of loss, of death, of goodbye. 

There’s never a good or perfect time.

We’ll always question why?

Even after a life filled with love.

A life that was long.

A life well lived.

You’ll still be gone!

The end is near,

I know that now.

It’s certainly hard to bear!

I wonder how?

You had each other,

Through each day,

For years and years and years,

And together you’re going away!

I couldn’t imagine it,

Any other way at all!

It will be hard,

To hear that call.

But when it comes,

We’ll smile through our tears,

At how you made us laugh and smile,

Throughout the years.

Knowing you’re together still,

Never coming apart!

Moving on as a pair,

Does much for my sad heart.

So goodbye dear Uncle and Auntie too,

You really will be missed!

By me, your niece and many more,

Whose cheeks you’ve tenderly kissed.

Goodbye for now.

You leave with love,

And God is standing by!

I know you’ll soon be watching from above.

Good Friends 

Had another long day. We spent the morning finishing putting the new shelves together and deciding what to do about the poor fit. The inch and a half that would hang over drove my hubby too crazy. So, we decided to put the talk, side shelf on a different wall and not to put any upper shelves in at all. We kind of disagreed on this point, but my hubby said that the studs were too far apart, which would make hanging the upper shelves a chore. I remember the pain in the butt it was to hang our tv because of the weird studs in that wall, so I got over the desire for upper shelves fairly quickly. Besides, it’s not like IKEA is running out of them any time soon and it’s always easy to add on at any time if we change our minds. We also finished cleaning the house this morning and early afternoon too! Once we finished, we ran to the city to pick my new glasses up from Costco. I always love that feeling that you get when you put on new glasses with a new prescription and suddenly everything seems so fine detailed and clear. It’s crazy looking around and realizing all of the little things you were missing. I didn’t think they were that bad, but it’s like suddenly everything just pops! Once we got home, we had some friends come over. It was so nice to see them! They live in Canmore, but we’re here visiting her mom. We’ve been friends since grade 5! Her kids are cuties! They brought a turkey that he cooked yesterday and it was a great meal and visit! I’m tired now, so I’m going to crash! Night all💤😴

IKEA Is Always Fun!!

I didn’t get a nap today…I like my naps☹️. I had too much to get done! With all of the cleaning that I had to do, which was – and, sadly, still is – a LOT, I just didn’t have any spare time. We took a break around 12:30 to go to the airport to pick up my parents from their trip. They seemed happy to be home, but sad to leave behind the sun and the beaches, for which I don’t blame them. My mom’s bag was left behind, not in Hawaii, but in Sanfransisco. She should be getting it delivered to her soon. Bit of a pain in the but though… Once we got back to our house, we got back to cleaning, but realized we wished we had more storage space in the living room, to hide some of the clutter. So we went to Ikea, after dropping our daughter off at dance. We found a set up that we both really liked. Turns out that it’s 2 inches to wide…ARGH!! So I’m not sure what we’re going to do. Some of the parts will work and some won’t. I really liked it and the little bit too big doesn’t bother me, but my hubby Hates it with a capital H! He thinks it makes him look stupid, like he can’t measure or something! I’m not sure what the compromise is going to end up being, but we’ll get my friend’s opinion tomorrow since they’re still coming over for a visit and dinner or supper, if you are one of those who considers dinner to be lunch. I still have a lot of stuff to do, including organizing, now that everything’s pulled out of our old shelves and just sitting on the floor and love seat. After all my cleaning today too! Oh well. I have most of the day, they’re coming around 3:30, so I have time. I just don’t want to totally exhaust myself before they even get here though. I guess I’ll have to just do my best. And right now, I’m going to do my best sleeping- I’m beat! Night all💤😴

New Glasses Soon

I’m feeling super tired today. I couldn’t fall asleep last night and it’s left me sleepy all day.  I watched a lot of Big Bang Theory today. I had a pretty lazy day. I didn’t really get anything accomplished! My friend and her family are coming for a visit on Friday and I have a great deal of house cleaning to get done. I was just so tired today that I didn’t really get anything done. Oops! That means more work for tomorrow…oh well, it’s my own fault. There’s not much I can do about it now. Just suck it up and get it done tomorrow! On the weekend I ordered new glasses and I can’t wait to get them. I really don’t have much of a life, so I’ve got to appreciate the little things, like new glasses. For one, I’ll be able to see better, which is always great! Also, it’s just time for new ones. The jury was out on where I was going to buy them. I wanted to get them at the local place, but they’re not cheap. My current pair cost us $1,000.00, which is about what I’d be looking at again at the local place. I have a high prescription and progressives. I read a LOT of positive reviews about Costco optical. So we went in and holy moly are they ever cheaper! I found a pair that I liked (that come with the sunglasses clips for driving) for only $150 for the frames and then, with the lenses it cost $460,00!!!! Way way cheaper, right?! I couldn’t believe how much the difference was. So we ordered them. They should be ready by Saturday. I’m super excited! Hopefully they work and the quality is good enough. I guess we’ll see soon – both literally and figuratively! I’m going to go to bed now. I feel so tired and tomorrow I have a lot to do. Night all💤😴

You Are Love

Feeling good, flying high

Dancing around, laughing out loud

Feeling down, crash landing

Slumping around, not feeling proud

Joy, love, light, good

Sorrow, hate, dark, bad

Hope, prayers, pride, ecstatic 

Down, low, depressed, sad

Where are you today?

Where do you wish you were?

What can you do to change your situation?

What would make you feel more sure?

We can be high,

We can be low,

But carry inside,

A never-ending glow. 

Let it light your path

And show you your way.

Let it bring you back from the dark,

To try again another day. 

You are love ❤️ 

JKC

💜💙❤️Happy Valentines Day❤️💙💜

Take On Wings

Fearful of rejection,

She doesn’t put herself out there. 

Instead, she lives a lonely life,

Wishing someone would care. 

Isolated and alone,

He lives in his own head. 

Too bad there wasn’t someone,

To focus on instead. 

Perfectly suited for each other, 

They live their lives apart. 

Too bad they don’t know,

What lies in the others’ heart. 

A chance meeting,

Would bring them both together. 

Could they get outside of their heads,

Long enough to face the other?

A cautious smile on her part,

Replied by a slight nod on his. 

They look full at each other,

Is there a chance for this?

He buys her a coffee,

They sit down and talk.

They smile and laugh,

And leave hand in hand for a walk. 

Inside she feels fear and hope,

He feels the same two things. 

It’s a small start, 

That may just take on wings!

Her Blissful Mind

Her blissful mind

Blocks the truth

She hides it from 

Herself, the sleuth 

For generally she’s shrewd 

She’s typically smart

True to herself

Good to her heart

But leaving him

Isn’t an option to her

So she’s lying to herself 

She’s lying for sure

It’s no big deal

Maybe he’ll change

Are the things she thinks

Along that range

For the only thing

Her heart can’t take 

Not one more time

Is another break
