And just like that, I am on vacation. Admittedly it will be largely a staycation but it will be nice to be able to – once again – attempt to catch up on some of my To Do list. At the same time there’s no NASCAR so there’s nothing to be watching on the weekend,Continue reading “Your Milner Moment – July 23, 2021”

As the last hour or so of my weekend slips away, I can honestly say the entire weekend seemed to slip away on me. What I mean is I did nothing really of note this weekend. After this week, I will be on vacation so I’d like to plan out a way to get asContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – July 18, 2021”

It was a full week back at work but really didn’t feel all that long, even after having just a two-day work week last time ’round. Definitely busy with lots to do but I think that’s what made the time seem to pass faster. Having a lot to do means you have to make sureContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – July 10, 2021”

It was a short week, work-wise. Two work days, in fact. To be followed by five – yes, FIVE! – days off. I decided to make the most of it and actually get some work done, while also relaxing a bit. I am proud to say that, with the exception of posting some July 1/CanadaContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – July 3, 2021”

So it was kind of an up-and-down week for me. On the one hand, I had my annual review at King’s. I was a little concerned on how it might go. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried. I got a glowing review from Jane and Chantal. It definitely put an extra spring inContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – June 27. 2021”

Hey, so…long time, no write. I think that may have something to do with me being tired on Friday nights, busy (although not really accomplishing much) on Saturday nights and having the better part of a migraine on Sunday nights over the couple of weeks. However, other than wishing it was Saturday night instead ofContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – June 20, 2021”

I may complain about the lack of engagement on most of my social media. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the response I got when I posted the before and after photos of the work recently done on our roof. It didn’t come cheap that’s for sure, especially since they had to remove asbestos beforeContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – May 30, 2021”

Happy birthday to my Mom as she celebrates the three-quarter of a century mark on the planet today. (Yeaaah, she didn’t seem to like me referring to it like that, so perhaps just wish her a Happy 75th birthday instead.) So I am down to one last day for my vacation. As per usual, IContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – May 23, 2021”

Important announcement: As of 4:30ish this afternoon, I am on vacation. (Can I get a whoo-hoo!) I know everyone always asks when you says you’re going on vacation “Any big plans?” My response would be “We’re still in a pandemic here?” (Or apparently, as we should get used to saying “We’re in the new normal!”Continue reading “Your Milner Moment – May 14, 2021”

I figured I better get one more blog post in, just in case this rocket that’s supposed to fall back to earth tomorrow ends up falling on my head. (I’m kidding, I doubt the small town I live is likely to have an errant rocket land on it…although it’s gotta land somewhere, right?) It wasContinue reading “Your Milner Moment – May 7, 2021”
