I made it!
I am back in Welland for the next two weeks. Arrived last night after spending two days with my Auntie Sue in Kitchener for the family reunion camporeee held this past weekend.
I missed the Saturday festivities as I didn't arrive until well after midnight. My flight from Shanghai to Vancouver had been delayed by 2 hours, and so my connecting flight ( Read more... ) -
Settling...settling.... Hold yer breath....
So I'm back in Shanghai. *pause for cheers* Thank the gods. I spent a miserable day yesterday in bed coughing and sneezing and wishing for death (while watching Ranma 1/2 season 1 through to 5) and now I'm back at the office feeling almost 100 percent.
I got back from Taicong Friday night with a headache that had started on Thursday. Saturday was ( Read more... ) -
Huge picture post of updates plus injuries. Oi.
Updates now, because tomorrow I'm in Taicong for 4 weeks (minus the weekend) and I have no idea what the internet situation is going to b like. So first things first - animal status update. From bottom to top: Yuki, Sammy, and laser-eyed Chico.

Oi Vey.
I blame the pizza last night....
Dreamed last night that my buddy Brent and I went to a local clinic after work. Brent was sick and I wanted to get some cough medicine anyway so I went too. For some reason, despite this being Shanghai, Brent had a car of his own. So, Brent drove his car and I left my backpack inside when we got there.
We went ( Read more... ) -
a chance to breathe...
So much to do and no time to do it in... such is the story of my life... ^^
Just finished a 7 day marathon of teacher training up north. It was hard - getting up at 6am, leaving at 7am, arriving at 8:15 and then teaching the same class of teachers - local Chinese English teachers from the district - from 8:30 to 2:30. Even with an hour and a half ( Read more... ) -
Fucking hell?
So Kat just pulled a meter of thread out of Yuki's stomach through his mouth. The little shit apparently slurped it up like it was spaghetti. I have come to the conclusion that Yuki's thought processes must go something like this:
See something. Food?
Hmmm. Small for food. Food? *bat bat*
Not sure if food. *bat bat bat bat*
Test for food. *bite* Not ( Read more... ) -
Man do I have a talent for paying attention at the WRONG time...
Overhearing my roommate talking to a friend in our living room while I'm watching Wrestlemania 9 (and reading Bret Hart's autobiography at the same time):
"I wonder if I can get her to make my mom a leather onesie. With attachments for whips."
.....that is more than I ever needed to know about you guys, seriously now. Though it does explain an awful ( Read more... ) -
Pause... for a moment of pride.
Or should I say, 'Paws'?
Took Ruthie out last night for a walk. We made a detour to the pharmacy. The building has two big doors that are always open, and a railing along the stairs. I often tie Ru's leash to the railing at the top - from there I can see her fairly well from the rest of the store (and I'm only ever in there for 3 minutes at a time ( Read more... ) -
100 Things Challenge - 010 - Watsons
So why of all the places in Shanghai Stormy could choose to blog about, would she choose Watsons? Your everyday, common-variety pharmacy-style, Shoppers Drugmart-wannabe available on nearly every other block in the whole darn city?
Because it's a godsend to foreigners and they need to know this.
