Joy
Remember when right before I took an expensive (but much needed) vacation, my cat needed $1100-$2400 in veterinary work....oh right, thats happening now, not a remember when yet. *bangs head against wall* -
(Untitled)
So, I actually find myself with a few things to post about, but am going to post mostly drivel, a quick recap of my recent trip to Ottawa. We arrived on Saturday evening around 5:30pm, which was just in time for the evening social hour - always fun when you know no one. Luckily, I was introduced to enough people to make the hour pass, and was then ( Read more... ) -
Ottawa
So, despite not looking forward to the CAN meeting (only because theres only one day that looks really interesting/exciting to me), Im looking forward to going to Ottawa for the first time ever from Saturday to Wednesday. And I am looking forward to the team meeting on Wednesday, and our delicious CIHR team grant funded dinner on Tuesday night. Its ( Read more... ) -
Yesterday - wow!
So, yesterday was an incredibly active day. After mulling over what to do, we decided to go see Nightmare on Elm Street at West Edmonton Mall - and that to get there we would ride our bikes, which would allow me to have my bike tuned and checked out while we watched said movie ( Read more... ) -

Theres a town near the migration ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in catfood
Well, call me a crabapple, but was I ever in a bad mood a couple of hours ago....all because of impatience, something Ive gotten quite good at avoiding the experience of. So Ive got to go to PetSmart to get the fancy cat food for Daisy as the store that I can easily get to is out. To get there, I have to take the LRT to South Campus, then #6 bus to ( Read more... ) -
My butt is sore
And I like it. Yesterday it was a gorgeous 23 C in Edmonton, which confirmed that the bikes were coming out. After a walk to the gas station to air up my deflated tires, off we went in search of cat food. Half an hour later, we discover that the closest of the 3 stores in Edmonton that sells Daisys fancy food only has the small bag - which is a ( Read more... )
