I ended up doing both floors yesterday so today I can get back to work. I did spend a little time on the earliest photo book and it is ready to start filling. I found quite a few of the old pictures of Edward; most of mine are electronic as my sister scanned them. They are in my First story book that I wrote. The Picture Book begins with a title page and already has its ending as the first book which is four pictures from our wedding. There will not be any difficult with filling the book as there are a lot of pictures of Edward and finally me when I arrive on the scene.
Today I shall do some work on the matches as well as that task is coming along with just 76 matches left to enter into my databases. You can feel it moving along as I am now most of the way through the Ms. I love the sort alphabetical or numerical; it suits my temperament. My old computer is now doing all of this work and set up for that. I have a large working area that I can just leave day after day as I sort.
My mind is clearly centered on the work ahead although I know that Question Period when we begin next Monday will see me watching. I will organize my day so that I am doing weight lifting or rowing or yoga at that time. Just so that I am not just sitting there like a couch potato.
I found it fascinating that the largest Canadian mining company is merging with a very large British mining company. Conglomerates of like minded individuals can get things done that might not happen as their liquidity is so great. It will take time for these ventures to move us forward independently and not see our economy destroyed by tariff. Those words still reach deep down into my soul; they tear at the very cloth of my being that someone would say that - no need to invade can just destroy them economically. Does one actually do that to one's cousin/one's neighbour/one's friend. I shake my head and move on; letting the words sink deep into the abyss of my brain knowing that the Canadian spirit is strong and willing. You can not really fight that; you just carry forward and rework the system. Prime Minister Carney is right about that. But I am still tempted to think we should move to a war footing in terms of our economy making it easier to get things done. Not quickly bypassing the consent of the people but with a good motion forward and Premier Wab Kinew always comes to mind with his big smile and his we can do this attitude. I love that for sure. The port and the electrical grid to Nunavut - both excellent ideas and you can feel the strength in his words as he describes these projects. His thousands of years of ancestry in this land give one hope for the future. Yet I admire and appreciate Premier Ford for his bluntness; he captures the Canadian essence of Don't Trample on Me which came to us with the many Patriots who came to Canada in the early 1800s from the United States and form part of the web of Ontario. Premier Ford will go down in the history books of this time when it is written.
FIFA ticket buying has begun and this great enterprise managed by Mexico, the United States and Canada will burst on the scene and heal some of that hurt that came with huge tariffs against one's trading partners - the largest trading group in the world.
So a busy day ahead. Drinking my tea and soon my solitaire puzzles will fire themselves across my computer as I wake this brain for its day's work.
