Ok, I have my TBR list for fall books. I won’t read all these books this season, but I will have my list of books to be read. Here are a few autumn book recommendations that capture the cozy, atmospheric vibes of the season: “A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness “Practical Magic” by Alice…

The temperature is starting to drop here, signaling the arrival of Autumn. I love Autumn’s quiet transformation—how the world slows down and shifts into warm, earthy tones. There’s a peacefulness in the crisp air, the smell of fallen leaves, and the early dusk that feels comforting and introspective. The cozy layers, hot drinks, and the…

It’s important to remember that when there is a loss, the impact ripples far beyond the immediate family, affecting friends, coworkers, and others who had connections with the person. While it’s natural to focus on the family, acknowledging that others share in the grief, sometimes silently, is essential. Last night, my girl’s reaction when she…

I did start writing on Thursday and Friday, but I never finished. So I will start on Thursday here: Thursday, Day 16 Vancouver… I’m feeling better today, although my energy level is still low.

The disembarkation process was efficient and well-organized. I woke up at 7 am and prepared for the day.

Currently, I’m taking it easy and relaxing in the room. Tommy had left to visit the totem pole park, but I didn’t join him. I’m eagerly looking forward…

I’m still not feeling well. This morning, I took Robitussin and Tylenol for my sinus, which has helped me a bit. Today, I woke up just before 8, got ready, and went to the main dining room for breakfast. I had an omelet and a fruit salad. After that, we stopped by the International Cafe…

Today was enjoyable, but I’m not feeling my best. I plan to take medication tonight, so I’m refraining from doing so now. I’m experiencing discomfort in my head, throat, and body. I hope the medication later will provide relief. I woke up at 5 a.m. today, unable to sleep any longer. I decided to shower,…
