There was always a good chance this wasn’t going to become a regular thing, so I’m not going to bother with apologies if I go awhile without writing. I think getting those first two entries out of my head was enough for a little bit. Also, I usually either don’t have time or don’t really want to write while I’m at work, and since work is like 99% ( Read more... )

First, let me share an article that one of my friends sent me yesterday, that I think does a great job at explaining why so many of us are feeling terrible. It's a little long, but really hit the nail on the head for me. A couple key sentences from the article:

How do you adjust to an ever-changing situation where the “new normal” is indefinite ( Read more... )

Lately, I've been feeling like writing would be a good option to help me process some of my thoughts and feelings. Obviously, there's a lot going on these days. When I stopped writing here, I stopped writing, period. At the time, it wasn't a priority for me anymore, and I wasn't making time to write, nor really feeling like I had much of anything ( Read more... )

Let's continue with my adventures of the past month! The weekend after I flew down to Jersey for Lori's wedding was another busy one. Friday night, June 13th, was the Relay for Life in Toronto, which Erin, Lynn, Ilana and I participated in. We were on the Downtown Knit Collective's team, which was celebrating its tenth anniversary, so they were ( Read more... )

Here's a happy story for you. :) Dave's car has been in the shop being repaired since he got in an accident a few weeks ago (he was thankfully unhurt, but the car was definitely not so lucky). The auto body that's doing the repairs posts pictures of the progress on their website, so you can check online and see the status of your car. They also ( Read more... )

In an effort to start posting more regularly, I thought I'd tell you all about something amusing that happened on my way to work this morning. I had just turned onto Steeles from Airport Road, and there was a cop in the left lane a car length or two ahead of me. A short distance ahead of him, two adult geese and a gaggle of teenage goslings were ( Read more... )

Hello my friends! I have decided to make my triumphant return to LJ by regaling you all with my moving adventures, because who doesn't enjoy a good moving story? Clearly, by virtue of me having moving stories to share, you can assume that I found a place. Actually, I think I found it the day after I last posted here. It was ultimately the least ( Read more... )

Hi friends. This is just a quick note, because I don't think I have the brain power for much else at this moment. Key points:

• I am in fact still alive.
• I have not read any of your entries since March 8 or 9. This means I have a lot of catching up to do, and it may be awhile before I have the time.
• My trip to Florida was lovely and the weather was ( Read more... )

Months and months ago, my mom had told me and Kira that she wanted to buy us tickets to come visit her in Florida over spring break. We were both excited about the prospect, but also didn't really get our hopes up, because her buying the tickets was dependent on her getting a good tax refund in February. Not to mention, past experience has shown us ( Read more... )

Well, I know I haven't updated since I got back from my trip, and that's because my life has been in a state of upheaval since then. 2014 has gotten off to a pretty rough start, if I'm being honest. Basically, things between me and Brad have been steadily going downhill for quite a while, really, and it all came to a head while I was gone/when I ( Read more... )
