Pep Talk (114/366)

Framed, on the wall of the cubicle where I stripped off and put on an X-ray gown prior to a procedure.

I mean, sure, it's admirable that they're trying to inject some whimsy and cheer into what is fundamentally a grim and utilitarian diagnostic process. But somehow the notion that I was being given a pep talk by an X-ray gown, of all things, made me feel more surreal than encouraged.

Cats and Plots (113/366)

Me, sitting on pens? Naw!



Don't they look like they're plotting something?

Dragonfly (112/366)

Seen in the mud beside the sidewalk while going to get groceries.

April Inner Court Altar (111/366)

The Full Moon inner court group's altar for April.

Do Not Use (110/366)

At the Confusion Corner bus stop. I have no idea what it was referring to.

Broken Sugar Bowl (109/366)

This morning the sugar bowl I've been using to hold my Splenda broke -- first at the base, and then the bowl broke in two when I put it in the garbage. It has some nice reflections, though.

Fish Stick (108/366)

Taken behind a local sushi restaurant as I walked home with groceries. I just liked the characters on the side of the box.

Artistic Bear (107/366)

Another one of the "Bears on Broadway", shot as I went to get a replacement social insurance card.

Oil, Vinegar, and Bread (106/366)

Bread as a free appetizer at the Mona Lisa Restaurant on Corydon Avenue.

Roslyn Apartment (105/366)

The red apartment block at the corner of Osborne Street and Roslyn Road.

ReBoot Meets The Tick (104/366)

Some little figurines that George discovered in a box. From left to right: Phong (ReBoot), Dot (ReBoot), The Tick (The Tick), and American Maid (The Tick).

Type K Ration (103/366)

A Type K ration on display at the Millennium Library.

Red Bull (102/366)

A just-emptied can of Red Bull. It helped my menstruation-related fatigue a little.

Back Yard Dog (101/366)

Two houses over from us, the neighbor's dog looks up at our apartment window.

Break & Circuses (100/366)

Yesterday George and I went out to Bread & Circuses, a local bakery/coffee shop.

Here's our meal:



And the art above our table:



And the view out the front window:

Is She Dead, Jim? (99/366)

Mina in her favorite new toy, the box from our new coffee maker. As my husband remarked, it looks like she's dead and just waiting to be taken out and buried.

Cats (98/366)

Mina sometimes picks the funniest places -- and ways -- to sleep.



And Emmie really likes the warm sunshine. Doesn't she look like she's smiling?

The Intarwebs (97/366)

A shot of one corner of our 24" widescreen.

Sausage and Eggs (96/366)

A boring day with a very nice breakfast.

New Coffee Maker (95/366)

Our old coffee maker, which was a wonderful machine for three years, finally started to malfunction a couple of days ago. This is the replacement:



It came with the cutest little "Please Wash Me" card:

Mina Naps (94/366)

I'm not very creative right now. Feeling punky. So here's another shot of Mina and the latest Winnipeg Free Press headline.

Mina Watches (93/366)

Mina seems to be enjoying the sights and smells of spring -- until a sound from inside the apartment distracts her.

Blast Off! (92/366)

A cup that I took home from the Wen-Do session on Saturday; the instructor handed them out so we could drink some juice she'd brought along. Apologies for the bad focus.

Soup and Tea (91/366)

A look inside one of our kitchen cupboards. A cheat shot, since I actually forgot to take a picture on the 91st day. Mea culpa.
