Magic happens when you least expect it.

Magic happens when you least expect it.
Well I have never seen one of these before and being in Western Canada, the timing of the event was not going to be that late. It was due to start at midnight, our time. I thought this would worth the extra waking hours, especially given the proximity of the planet Mars, and duly went for it.
Eagerly, I peeked out of first one window and then, in increasing chagrin, others. I eventually located something that looked like a fuzzy cotton ball behind a multitude of frosted glass layers. I miserably failed to see the planet Mars, which may have been balefully lurking behind the dense layers of cirrostratus clouds that spitefully scudded into place after sundown. Disappointed, I went to bed, but I did set my internal alarm clock to wake me in approximately one hour in case the chance of a breeze might put a window in the fuzzy mess. Um no. Not only hadn’t the clouds shifted at 1:30 am, but they had become more so. I was unable to locate the moon, bloody or otherwise. Major fail.
Of course, this just gives me another reason to go after the weather fairy with a punt gun. LOL.
The plot unwinds spectacularly, and the author manages to keep the book fast paced and exciting, while developing her characters. The strengths and weaknesses of each character are explored. You feel pity for those that circumstances changed for the worse and sadness for those who got affected by the change. I love her style of writing, it kept me glued to the book.
A reunion, betrayal, survival and promises of new adventures to come and new possibilities to explore! C.N.Lesley ends her book on a note of suspense, leaving us waiting to know what happens next. Applause for the author on her own timeless tale!

It is a totally realistic supposition that a lawyer will be commensurate in the English language if that happens to be their native language.It is also not outside the bounds of possibility to assume one’s lawyers are capable of constructing a document that clearly states its intent.
Silly me. I now have a did they, or didn’t they scenario. I am hopelessly incapable of judging if they did, or if they didn’t,based on the incompetent communication. I am now the lucky recipient of three communications that totally contradict themselves. I am also the recipient of a document designed to enlighten me. Of course, it would help if the aforesaid document hadn’t been truncated and sent on its side in adobe.. The wretched thing was sent in a format that I can’t change to actually read it. Printing it out also doesn’t help as the missing part still isn’t there.
I will be so happy to finish with these morons forever. No love. Me.
So happy!!! I need people to vote for the book if it is to stand a chance. Here is the site if you feel inclined. http://www.peoplesbookprize.com/book.php?id=1096
I read an end of care post on a national newspaper and it more or less said the poster was not happy about caring for her elderly parents. This hit a raw bone.
While my mother was alive, this was never an issue. She was disabled from a stroke and my father cared for her. He made a point of turning people away who could have helped. Once she had gone, I erroneously concluded my father would like to come to live with us. We geared up, ready to receive him. I got put in my place at my mother’s funeral. He raised so many barriers and bear traps to his coming to live with us that it was obvious he wanted his independence.
I was not happy at this decision, but it was his. I would not take that away from him and diminish his twilight years, although I disagreed. What I could and did do was set up a system of carers to accommodate his needs. Sneaky, but I had no choice as I lived so far away from him. My team reported back to me on an ongoing basis unbeknownst to him. He would have thrown a hissy fit if he had clued in to what I had done.
Had I acted differently, I would have shamed a war vet. He lived and died on his own terms. My father was independent to his last breath, using it to insult his nurses. Go dad, go!
