Throwing a bottle in the sea…

. . In april of 2024, I hit a big wall. The following weeks involved a lot of crying, a lot of anxiety and a LOT of work. I could have just given up by then, but I chose to take it as an opportunity instead. Life was offering me a fresh start, even if…… Continue reading Throwing a bottle in the sea…

Dear Palou…

. Today I experienced something I had never had the chance before… Earlier this year, P, one of Mom’s sister was diagnosed with a bad case of cancer. It came as quite a shock, because about the same time, we were losing one of Dad’s sisters. Back then, I had failed to show up on…… Continue reading Dear Palou…

Flabbergasted!

. All around the world, thousands and thousands of families are faced with a dilemma that must be absolutely heart-breaking. I can’t begin to imagine having a loved one in a coma, and having to decide wether the doctors should keep them ”artificially” alive at all costs, or not. I mean, to this day, no…… Continue reading Flabbergasted!

Bonne fête, Québec!

. Tonight was Québec’s National Holiday… The first ”normal” celebration since the beginning of the pandemic. There was a little bit of magic in the air. We absolutely loved the experience. And yes, that’s a No parking sign, in the middle of the crowd. So very Montreal-like 😛

Serious signs (Late April 7th FFF)

I was invited (well, not personally, but still) to Fandango’s Friday Flashback! Fandango scrolls back, every Friday, and gives a second chance to a post he had published on the same date, years before. I thought it was a great way to remember some of the stuff I did a while back, and I decided…… Continue reading Serious signs (Late April 7th FFF)

So much for Spring!

. Tonight, roughly a fifth of the population of Québec, and half of Montréal’s is deprived of electricity. Although Spring has officially started, we all know that it’s no guarantee that Mother Nature will behave. And today, she’s been a very very naughty girl. We had been warned. Icy rain, for most of the day.…… Continue reading So much for Spring!

Good vibes, please!

. Not for me, no worries. No. A little less than a month ago, I’ve started training a new co-worker. Needless to say that I was not thrilled at first. For one thing, as usual, I was only told a week prior that I’d be giving that training. And if you’ve had your seat in…… Continue reading Good vibes, please!

Go Paul!

. Mark your calenders, because I rarely sit back to talk politics. Last monday, in the province of Québec, it was time to (re)elect our prime minister. It honestly was the first campain I really followed, since I got the right to vote. It was the first time that five parties were running for our…… Continue reading Go Paul!

Off…

. I should feel sorry, but I don’t. When we got to our cabin in the middle of the woods, last Friday, I did get wi-fi access to The Internets. Not before much searching for the password, but still. I wanted to take time to come here and share my experience in the wild. But…… Continue reading Off…
