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

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

The Perfect Whirlwind

October 18, 2022October 18, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 14 Comments

It wasn't supposed to be a whirlwind. It really wasn't. It was supposed to be a leisurely road trip between Halifax and Toronto that allowed us to visit some other places, like Quebec City for a couple of days on the way there and perhaps the 1000 Island area of Kingston on the way back. … Continue reading The Perfect Whirlwind

Anticipation – The Second Half

September 3, 2022September 3, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 26 Comments

You knew there had to be a second half... didn't you? After all the first Anticipation post was before the middle of July. Gardening season lasts so much longer. The Christmas-Eve anticipation continues through the summer as more and more plants grow and come into bloom. The eagerness to get up and see what's happening … Continue reading Anticipation – The Second Half

Anticipation

July 13, 2022July 13, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 26 Comments

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

Vicarious Travel

February 4, 2022February 4, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 33 Comments

Travel is on my mind today. It is a day that freezing rain is in the forecast. A day that I am shut away in my office with two doors between me and the lower level. And a day that The Doc sits sans hearing aids to avoid all the noise. Since yesterday afternoon there … Continue reading Vicarious Travel

Offseason Entertainment

January 20, 2022January 20, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 25 Comments

Nightly entertainment for The Doc and I for seven-plus months of the year is watching baseball. If you told me at fifty that I would be passionate about this pastime, I would have told you that you were nuts. However, passionate I am; a story told in, Why This Bitch Loves Baseball. However, this post … Continue reading Offseason Entertainment

Odds and Sods and Future Plans

October 22, 2021October 22, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 19 Comments

This is not the blog I intended to write this week. I was thinking that I had been too nice and touristy for the past few weeks, and that I needed to change things up a bit. Perhaps be a little more myself. Perhaps cover a topic that allowed me to be a bit bitchy. … Continue reading Odds and Sods and Future Plans

The Joys of October Paddling

October 6, 2021October 6, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 19 Comments

I had finished washing the outside windows, getting the layers of grime and haze from their surface. Hoping like hell, now that it was October, we won't get a hurricane. I walked in the front door carrying a dish full of nasturtium seeds to dry for next year. The plan was to dump the seeds then … Continue reading The Joys of October Paddling

I Am Not Lazy… I Am Retired!

October 23, 2019 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 2 Comments

Photo by Nicole Geri on Unsplash.  When I was in my early teens, my oldest brother gave me a wall banner that said, I think I'm allergic to morning. The words above a picture of Snoopy on top of his doghouse trying to wake up. Snoopy was tired, with heavy eyelids. He looked grumpy and … Continue reading I Am Not Lazy… I Am Retired!
