Jobs. Which ones have you had? What are the things you’ve done for money? My list, in no particular order (although I’m sure I’ll come up with more): – babysitting – retail (store clerk and later, cashier) – tutoring (in high school) – knitting (I have knitted things for others and they have paid me [...]
I have to admit that I’m a homebody. Not quite a hermit, but given the choice between a night on the town or a night in, nine times out of ten I would choose to stay home. I don’t know where that comes from really. Maybe the fact that we moved so much when I [...]
Another week over. I love my new place of work about 80000% more than I liked where I was last year, but still– I’m always glad when the weekend comes. This weekend has been exhausting, both physically and mentally. First of all starting the week with the Explosive Belly Sickness ™. Plus having bouts of [...]
There once was a time when I didn’t watch all that much TV. Maybe one or two shows per week, if that. It came from living without a TV for two years (okay that’s a lie– we had a TV, but it didn’t pick up any stations, so we’d rent a VCR every few weeks [...]

Felt not-so-great. 7:50: Stopped at the Tim Horton’s on the way. Threw up in their very convenient bathroom. 7:55: Still throwing up. 8:00: Yeah. [...]
This is Belle. You can’t really tell but she’s literally about the size of… a tiny fuzzy puppy who I love and want to squeeze and snuggle forever! No, really. She fits in one of my hands. If you make fists with each of your hands, she’s smaller than your two fists put together. So… [...]
My parents got home on Tuesday from their trip, so last night I loaded Simon and all his belongings into my car and brought him back to them. He was happy to see them, they were happy to see him… and there was a new friend waiting for him there! When I was younger, my [...]
Today is one of those days that makes me wish we had six or seven hot tubs strategically placed around our house (to those of you who’ve seen our tiny house, you’ll know what a joke that is, but not really, because I do wish for a hot tub). I’m old, people. I’m old, I’m [...]
