Going Solar

May 26, 2023May 26, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 18 Comments

Our new solar panels are up and running and we couldn't be happier. Polaron made it easy to go solar by walking us through every step of the way. While working with them over the past several months, we were impressed with the quality and professionalism of both the product and the process. What impressed … Continue reading Going Solar

What Happened To Warm And Fuzzy Fundraising?

May 17, 2023May 17, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 17 Comments

The doorbell rang when The Doc and Bitch were downstairs in the family room, both reclined with their feet up, intent on watching the baseball game. It was the ninth inning and their beloved Blue Jays were losing. As loyal fans, they were hoping for a ninth-inning rally. It was early evening and it was … Continue reading What Happened To Warm And Fuzzy Fundraising?

Film Noir In My Dreams

May 4, 2023May 4, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 13 Comments

Where do they come from, those crazy and strange dreams? Subconscious thoughts are interesting things that, most of the time in my case, stay in my subconscious. I rarely remember my dreams these days. Maybe once or twice a year when I awake suddenly in the middle of one. Whether a short snippet or an … Continue reading Film Noir In My Dreams

Will It Still Make It To September

April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 14 Comments

I am sitting curb side in my car waiting for The Doc to rescue me. I am usually not a woman who requires rescuing. I am supposed to be delivering library books but after my second delivery the sliding bracket of my rear hatch broke. I tried and I tried to push it back to … Continue reading Will It Still Make It To September

Don’t Ever Tell Me You’re Bored

April 5, 2023April 5, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 17 Comments

I just don't understand boredom. Even retired, I don't seem to have enough hours in my day. I am never, and have never been, bored. As far as I am concerned boredom is a choice.  As I child, I was the kid who knew how to entertain myself. Though I usually had a single good … Continue reading Don’t Ever Tell Me You’re Bored

After the End

March 15, 2023March 15, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 18 Comments

No one wants to discuss after the end because that means acknowledging that there will be an end. And that means acknowledging one's mortality–the fact that we all must die. This has to be the most avoided conversation subject in history. People prefer not to think about, let alone, discuss this topic; but it is … Continue reading After the End

In Need Of A Car That Talks

February 17, 2023February 17, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

The bitchy ditz has once again reared her unfocused head. It is as if her brain has gone on vacation. I have covered this topic before and admitted to a full range of ditzy moments in a blog written last April. If you are interested, you can read about that here. Focus is a big … Continue reading In Need Of A Car That Talks

Christmas In February

February 8, 2023February 8, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 24 Comments

There was that day in December, two days before Christmas, when the weather across the country wreaked havoc on travel and 370 flights were cancelled at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. It would become a Christmas people would never forget even if they wanted to. One for the history books. And because of this, JT did … Continue reading Christmas In February

When The Infamous Mr. C Arrives

January 20, 2023January 20, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 31 Comments

There wasn’t a word or a sign in over three years, but finally the infamous Mr. C arrived at your door just over a week ago. He decided it was your turn. Like the mafia Mr. C is stealthy, sneaking up on you and catching you unaware; delivering those two purple lines to let you … Continue reading When The Infamous Mr. C Arrives

Not All Canadians Are Obsessed With Hockey

January 13, 2023January 13, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 33 Comments

...Just saying. When I first moved in with The Doc, his sons, ages 6 and 8, played hockey. A lot of hockey. Enough hockey to literally take up one day or another of every winter and spring weekend of their lives. They were pretty good at it and eventually went on to play on select and … Continue reading Not All Canadians Are Obsessed With Hockey

Too Much Time With A Sailor

January 4, 2023January 4, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 15 Comments

Come all ye young fellows who follow the sea. Wey! Hey! Blow the man down!  And please pay attention and listen to me; Give us some time to blow the man down! This is where my mind and my fingers have been for the past several weeks. I feel as if I have been having … Continue reading Too Much Time With A Sailor

The Great Xmas Tree Hunt of 2022

December 20, 2022December 20, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 26 Comments

Back in 1986, The Bitch, who was not quite as bitchy as she is now, and The Doc, who was not quite as grumpy as he is now, moved in together. Since December of that year, when they were so excited to be spending their first Christmas together in the same house, they have participated … Continue reading The Great Xmas Tree Hunt of 2022

It’s Official I’m A Senior

December 16, 2022December 16, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 20 Comments

Sixty-five. Not really as daunting as some people make it out to be. I have been acting like a senior for the past four and a half years; and in some cases longer, especially when certain age related discounts applied. My time is all mine. I have not been working. I have been getting up … Continue reading It’s Official I’m A Senior

Selling My Son’s Childhood

December 9, 2022December 9, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

We kept them and kept them for years and years. The castle, the cowboy town, the Robin Hood tree house, the pirate ship. The digger, the grater, the cement mixer. The wooden train sets, both Thomas and Brio, which were combined to make a single set. We waited and waited for someone else to play … Continue reading Selling My Son’s Childhood

That Last Day

November 8, 2022November 8, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 26 Comments

We've all heard or read the quote, "Live this day as if it's your last." None of us know exactly where or when we first heard or read it. Nor do we know who originated it. I figure it was created by some self-appointed sage who now creates memes for Facebook with the constant goal … Continue reading That Last Day
