Not All Canadians Are Obsessed With Hockey

January 13, 2023January 13, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 31 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

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

Puddles and Shingles and Imaginary Gods

September 26, 2022September 26, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

If I were a believer, I might think I pissed off the gods of karma. As we know, I do have the ability to piss off people and imaginary gods. I have always held a great respect for Mother Nature so there was no way that I could be on her shit list; but if … Continue reading Puddles and Shingles and Imaginary Gods

Remembering This Particular First Day

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

He was smiling ear to ear, excited yet patient. The same way he was at the mall that day in December. The day he waited to ask Santa Claus if he could go to the North Pole with him and be an elf. Dressed in his brand new Mickey Mouse T-shirt and shorts and holding … Continue reading Remembering This Particular First Day

Insecurities

August 16, 2022August 16, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 34 Comments

I change my outfit three times. I'm not sure what to wear. Something slimming always because she is not one who held respect for women she calls "big girls." I don't know why I still worry about her opinion but I do. She once called my sister fat while fitting her wedding dress. I put … Continue reading Insecurities

The Crazy Bitch’s Guide To Sanity

July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 28 Comments

The bitch had been known to lose it at times. People thought she was crazy. Absolutely nuts and out of control.  People who didn't understand her struggles with over-the-top hormone imbalances, low self esteem and an inability to manage stress. They did not know that her biggest battle was often with herself.  This was before she … Continue reading The Crazy Bitch’s Guide To Sanity

Anticipation

Outside is where I want to be this time of year. Especially after a long winter and sometimes damp spring when we are indoors for what seems like forever. My outdoor hobbies keep me busy and I am very happy to putt or paddle in the fresh air. One of my hobbies is gardening, which … Continue reading Anticipation
