Blankie
Yeah, I still have a “blankie”. I put it on my side of the bed, every night. It is, in excess, of 60 years old and belonged to my grandmother. Why? Well, my grandmother was an amazing, loving and hysterically funny Newfoundland woman. She always had cherry Chiclets in her pocket for me, hugs and kisses were never ending. It was an absolute unconditional love. Lost her when I was 15. Still feel that loss.
Husband is a truckdriver, he does stay within our province but has to leave at 2:00 am, for his run, the blanket is my security. It is my continued connection to my Nanny Mary.

How do significant life events or time influence?
Daily writing prompt
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?
Learning, life experience, expanding of horizons beyond comfort zones. We have a duty to ourselves to step outside our carefully constructed boxes and see what lies beyond. Learn about the triumphs, the struggles of others. Perspectives can be changed, if we are willing to put in the work.

Leisure Time
Well, I retired almost a month ago and I’m still navigating this “leisure time” concept. Definitely not used to it, worked all my life, raised a passel of kids, looked after aging parents…now, there is only my husband and myself, in our home – oh yeah, 2 budgies and a tarantula.
I know what I need to do;
- Work on my novel and an anthology I have been creating.
- Blogging, I used to love it but life got in the way, hoping to make up for lost time.
- Gaming – I love to game, since the early days of Leisure Suit Larry, Gold Rush and Warcraft. RPGs are my deal, I’m currently back to Skyrim and the new season of Diablo IV.
- READING, I love books; my eyesight sucks so I use audio books now. I do manage to go through far more because I plug in my Skullcandy ear buds and I can listen while being productive (housework/cooking etc.)
- Travel, uniquely to Cuba; we love the country, the courage and integrity of the people, the history and culture.

5 Things I Do For Fun?
- Gaming – PS5; my deal are RPGs. I avoid MORPGs; my patience doesn’t permit it, anymore. My games are Skyrim, Diablo IV (one of the few MORPGs I play), Neverwinter, The Witcher; Wild Hunt and a few others.
- Spending time with my family – especially “game” night; Cards Against Humanity, Trivial Pursuit and Tok (I think the last one is unique to Québec).
- Cuba; we travel to Cuba – fun and also to help out the folks in that country, suffering under American attacks on their autonomy/sovereignty.
- Writing – I write, currently working on an anthology (F) and a novel (SF), that I may get around to finishing…one day.
- Reading, audio books now; my eyesight sucks.
