Originally, we had planned to go to the zoo on New Year’s Eve, but I thought that if we had a long weekend to ring in the New Year, why not leave the city and kick in 2007 with style?! So suggestions were made and a blueprint was established for our ideal New Year’s celebration….
The better part of the past 2 days has been spent packing up Jean’s belongings in a tighter and more efficient manner so that we could store them downstairs in the apartment’s storage locker. We find it important to make this 1 bedroom corner suite “our home” and that means effectively communicating what our desires…
Okay, I admit it. I am a HUGE fan of Harry Potter and I am itching to see the next movie out in July and read the final novel …. In the interim, however, I’ll have to hang onto the knowledge that JK Rowling is currently in the process of writing that final book in…
Yoga twice today … What a treat! Both very different styles of class. The morning session involved a routine of stretching & flowing movement and quiet, whereas the evening class breathed Ashtanga (similar to my own self-practice). Truly, a lovely balance. And that’s what Yoga is ALL about. Whenever I exit the Talisman Centre at…
Tonight, slaDE~ is in for a treat … preceded by a warming body hot steam bath, slaDE~ is booked in to see an RMT at the Sport Physiotherapy Centre across from the Talisman Centre (that I have so come to love). Lucky for slaDE~, I’m well educated on the therapeutic benefits of massage, and because…
A morning massage helped ease the pain in my body. A great beginning to an interesting day, solely focussed on healing and health. And yes, this was only the beginning. Out and about on my bike. What an enlivening way to see the city! However, I was on a mission … The goal? To arrive…
Tucked under the door, in the wee hours of the morning, awaiting our awakening. The letter. From the Property Management Company. Just before leaving for work, slaDE~ told me of its quiet yet powerful arrival, not a word of its contents. Of course, I leapt out of bed, oblivious to the clock which read 5am….
Another day, another massage. Gotta use those benefits up! What was supposed to be a therapeutic session of spiritual awakening turned out to be an expensive disappointment of a not-so-relaxing time-mismanagement. The Spa Europa had a beautiful exterior filled with false promise of services (and therefore expectations) lauded. What I had grown accustomed to in…
Starting off the morning with a 1.5 hour massage for both slaDE~ and myself helped to steer our directional mindfulness in the proper orientation for peace and tranquillity. After finding ourselves exploring the crowds of the nearby Chinook Mall, we watched several movies which I can’t speak highly enough about! Happy Feet at the IMAX…
I am so grateful for this week to be over. Although there were moments of great happiness and playful discovery, the week was overshadowed by the stress of uncertainty, for me, anyway (poor Jean and slaDE~). The landlords at Opal Property Group were being obnoxious and obstinate about Jean trying to sublet / assign her…
