Hope all is well. Things are better here. I felt very relieved after I posted that blog about the holiday ~drama~ that went on here this season. I’m over it. More or less, anyhow. Over it, as in, I’m done fuming about it. I feel grudges will be unavoidable. Other than the drama, I haven’t [...]

I’ve been quiet
I’m sorry I haven’t been updating. There’s been a lot of stuff going on and I really should have been venting about it, and venting about it publicly because it is truly absurd, but I’ve been trying to take the high road. This post was longer. It was completely honest and I stand by it. [...]

Monday Meme – Epic Christmas meme
Ok, so I’m on my lunch break. Work’s pretty quiet today. I think the majority of people working in the federal public service took this week off. I’ve never had to work this late into the Christmas season, having been a student for most my life. Usually it’s early-December and I’m out of here. Oh [...]

Updates in point form

Snow insanity in Minden
I haven’t seen this in-person, but my parents sent me some photos of the insane amount of snow they have in Minden. It started on Wednesday and hasn’t really stopped since then. All this snow, in one big dump. Ugh. There is a 2000 Dodge Caravan under there. Apparently the snow (on the ground) is [...]

T&T Supermarket
So, Ottawa people, have you been to the new T&T Supermarket yet? You know, the new Asian supermarket that opened down by the airport? We finally went out there on Friday night, and let me tell you, it’s pretty amazing. Well, amazing if you’re into that sort of thing. And I’m into that sort of [...]
