I've been writing since I was in kindergarten where I Crayola-markered an epic tale of a tiger and a balloon on a stack of lined papers folded into a booklet and stapled along the edge (carefully, and by my teacher). I love DIY, sewing, folksy music, animals and getting out to look at and listen to nature.

Happy how?

  By Uncategorized

I am actually looking very … backward at starting school. (Just four more months, just four more months.) I already miss my recently-found freedom. I don’t think I’ll be going back to school after this year. How incredibly disappointing it has been. At least there are still a few nice things in life to keep me sane. Just wondering how my purse got blood all over the one side. Note to self: Do not put purse on floor of parking garage from this day forward. … Continue reading

Code Red

I couldn’t have picked a more beautiful bunch of winter days to have off work. The sky is blue (as far as I can tell with my curtains over the windows), and yesterday was a good day for pictures. Had a blueberry and a strawberry beer, which were all right, but kind of lackluster since my affinity for drinks has long vanished into my past of fun and hope and dreams and creativity. Hey. Maybe I’ll start drinking again to resurrect those qualities! That does … Continue reading

Something has to give.

Between the middle-aged probable molesters, and the crotchety old jackoffs wearing hats with green bows expecting me to remove the GST/PST for them because they want to buy ‘confectionaries’, I need a new job. Love my coworkers, hate the type of people I’m dealing with. The quality is just not there. Who’d have thought. I have a few applications out. Something must come through. Feeling sick to my stomach. Hopefully it’s just dehydration, but it’s probably nerves. Gross people make me anxious. Must. Escape. Gross … Continue reading

I was never a Pearl Jam fan. I’m not anti-Pearl Jam, they’re just not that great as far as I’m concerned. Regardless, having heard a band cover them at a bar, the outro to ‘Black’ has been in my head for days. Maybe it’s just winter setting in, but this has been a very ass-backwards week for no reason in particular. The cold is disorienting, all of a sudden, and the constant ceiling of grey nothingness is overbearing and unwelcome and making me speak in … Continue reading

Hi, Life.

  By Uncategorized

There’s a dull scent of smoke on a sweater I don’t wear very often. I’m not sure, but this and/or the weather could be why I feel a touch miserable today. I sure could go for an evening of sleeping in the fetal position. Instead, work!! 😀 Now. I like rain, in the summer. Does anyone here like rain, wind, cold, and misery in the winter??

Once I start…

We have this tray of Christmas-themed chocolates that, as they are depleted, we keep replenishing with more and more chocolates. As a result, my skin has taken a hit! But whatever. It’s winter, it’s time for hot chocolate and (even more) Tim Hortons and being poor and baking cookies and EATING ALL THE CHOCOLATE. Share the post “Once I start…” FacebookXShare… Continue reading
