Hey guys, long time, no update!

The good news:

-I for sure have a place to live in Ottawa! \o/ Huge load of stress off of my back.

-I've been driving up a storm on 1920s street. (Though sometimes I think I've gotten lazy and decide to drive the Model A Ford or use the old bicycle instead of walking one minute down the street, but whatevs!)
