nowhere to run

Thursday, August 16, 2012









































arriving at Toronto Island Airport Saturday

I'm back ... I had a fantastic time, Mike & I checked off every little thing on my wish list except the Royal Ontario Museum :-( a place like the ROM you really need a half day to an entire day to get the full meal deal & we just didn't have that much time. Winnie began showing fairly extreme symptoms of urinary/kidney problems (blood) while I was away so that made Mama feel sick & helpless. A trip to the vet yesterday to find out, thankfully, that it was not something much more serious (like a kidney or bladder tumor which was a distinct possibility until the xrays ruled those both out - Hooray !!). She just has a very bad UTI (urinary tract infection) - antibiotics have kicked in already - Hooray again !!

So ... with the stress (although I really did have great time) of leaving my bubble way far behind, then saying goodbye again to Michael (which made me feel very sad), coming home to a very worrisome situation with Missy D (thankfully a vet apt. had been booked for first thing the very next day) AND fretting and worrying about my upcoming public speaking event, my remind-me-again-why-I-thought-I-could-do-this thing - my collage / mixed media workshop with 12 attendees I'm feeling like I want to run away ... trouble is I have nowhere to run to. Drat.

It's a little bit code red here at 29 Black Street.
Pardon if I'm a bit quiet this week as I recharge my superpowers.

oh yeah ! here's a little TO omg ! blew my foody brain - in a really good way - WOW take the tour
Loblaws @ 60 Carlton (formerly Maple Leaf Gardens & just down the street from Michael's apt. ) Oh yeah !

  1. Thank you Angus ... Doug teases her always telling her that she's a superior breed - she seems to sail through all hurts, bumps & illnesses and boy oh boy am I glad of that xo Susan + Gang

  2. Welcome back! Glad to read you had a good trip. That was a big to-do list to work through.

    I will be beaming good vibes to Winnie that the infection clears quickly and to you that your evil-angel-fear-girl--whatever you call her, I forget--is drowned by your love of collage/mixed media work.

  3. Oh, and I saw Loblaws has a Wall of Cheese. Can that be the Prince's next home improvement project?

  9. Ahh you flew into Toronto on Porter airlines. I love the view coming in by the Skydome and the CN Tower. That bit of shoreline in your photo, I didn't even recognize. I suspect your seat was on the Lake side ?

    If you're ever doing a speaking engagement down here in Halifax, please let me know.

    You are a real "Wonder-woman" !
