In the still of predawn above the stars wait gracefully for the day to cover night. with the light comes an awakening birds sing squirrels chitter eyes open and the business of living is started once more Before the light we walk, beneath the few city stars, dog nearby it is cool and most blessedly quiet I could live in this moment forever In peace with only our murmured words and footsteps

Happy Sunday. Not so much around here. For various reasons...i didn't want to do a big meal, but here i am, doing it alone while other people are too sick. i think i'm next, but i'll cook this turkey today. lol Oh and i have dog duty as well for the moment. Our friend's mom passed away last night, and i'm not sure how much longer pup will be here with us as our friend looks after things. i couldn't sleep again last night...i just lay there until Michael shot out of bed at 3:30am, after sitting up for a bit we went back to sleep until 8ish...He's not feeling good at all, and has just now gone back to bed after a cup of tea and a little food. am i whining.. yes. Yes i am but i will get it done. One good thing i discovered is: Cenk Enes Ozer an author whose books were pulled from shelves in his homeland of Turkey after the coup attempt. He'd written nine of them. He arrived in Canada in 2016 and chose food and rent over writing. He worked hard, learned English at night and has now published his first book in English called, When the Devil Loves: A Mythic Fantasy of Creation, Exile, and Redemption I love books that look at the different sides of people or beings, as none are all evil or all good. We are layered and conflicted, as is 'the devil' in this book. Was he cast out, or did he just walk away? It's excellent and available on Kindle Unlimited.

Yeah.. i let people wait on me as much as possible. haha
-
He asked if that was a threat.
-
Yeah, eat what you enjoy. I sort of didn't want a turkey either but i was out voted. This one has been defrosting in the fridge and will be ready to cook tomorrow. We only got a twelve pound one so it won't take too long to cook. The pumpkin custard came out nice. I hope your mom feels better soon. xo
-
Lots of rest, haha. He isn't good at that, but he did sleep a couple of hours.
-
Thank you, honey. Michael has an awful cold. He got through yesterday but couldn't eat much this morning and has gone back to bed. Hopefully, that will help Him somewhat. I hope you are keeping well. oxxoo

Happy Saturday! Today is a prepping day for Thanksgiving dinner, which we will have tomorrow rather than Monday. Need to make pumpkin custard, make the cranberry sauce, and I'll make some cranberry orange scones as well. There's some cleaning to be done and a sick Husband to semi-look after. In addition to all of that, it is World Migratory Bird Day!
-
Yup and a few zaps help too. It's not a cure but it's helped me some.

So, yeah, it is Friday. Enjoy it! It's also Thanksgiving Weekend for Canadians. On a more serious note, it is World Mental Health Day. As one who has struggled for years with PTSD, Major Depression, Suicide and more, it is both horrible and necessary to fight yourself daily. It's like there are two of you or more, and it's bad when one of the others wins. It can be bloody and just awful. While there are plenty of songs about this topic, I chose this untitled song by Jimmie Allen for our musical portion of today's show. You can find it here. (Thanks to @weinerdog for the suggestion to add music) That said, and done, be kind to others (i struggle with this often, usually to my own detriment but i try to be better than that) and look after yourself. If you need help, look for a hotline or call a friend or family member. Dying is not worth it, i know.

i'm sorry to have disappointed you. i'll attempt to do better going forward.

Interesting spin on age-old monsters. Nice job.

Well written and very apt given the current situation in the USA. There be monsters. -

An experiment, but one that worked very well. At least for me. I recommend settling back, with an open mind, and just enjoy the experience.

Chapter 1 I am a creature
Mikiesboy commented on Aditus's story chapter in Chapter 1 I am a creature
i liked this very much. It feels familiar (except for the cats and hats). Habits ground you and can make you feel safe. I enjoyed the garden and then him coming home. Well done.- 26 comments

Ten days? Wow. Some parts of Canada could use that! Stay dry!

OMG, they did not win that one. Started well, ended badly. But the Yankees were at home, so kind of expected. I think it ended 9-6 for the Yankees. Sad, but now we need to win one of the last two games to move on.

Good Morning and Happy World Octopus Day! I'm sure that it's Wednesday. We are going to the store to buy a turkey. Sadly, we can no longer buy pre-stuffed Butterballs because of the ingredients. Sigh. However, we will buy an empty one and stuff it with the sage and onion dressing my mom always made. I can take care of that and likely will be healthier for it. Have a pleasant day, whatever you are up to. Very cool, breezy and sunny here. Nice autumn day.
-
i'm okay now, thank you. i just got busy and that made me feel better. i've been having trouble sleeping so that makes me less than happy. i like that it's cooler today, even though it's a bit humid.
-
What day is it? Oh, Tuesday. I'm not in the best of moods this morning but hope that you are. Have a good one everyone.

You have to apply. In your case, you'd need a job. There are different rules depending on why you are applying. Having worked with people who are coming to Canada to work, you do not need an immigration lawyer. If you follow the information on the Govt of Canada website, you can get through the application without more legal or expert help. Print out the checklist and make sure everything is done to the letter. Oddly, i've heard the number of applications for permanent residence is rather high lately.
