  • I Never Promised You An Herb Garden

    One of the things on my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days that I achieved last year was to make an herb garden for my balcony. But “make” in that case actually meant “buy a premade one and put it on my balcony”. Now, don’t get me wrong – it was a […]

  • Allergies

    So, I think I have seasonal allergies. I’ve never had seasonal allergies before but my red, watery eyes and runny nose suggest that maybe I do now. I first noticed my eyes being watery when I was released from quarantine and thought that my eyes were just sensitive to the cool air from having only […]

  • Jobs That LinkedIn Inexplicably Thinks I’m Qualified For

    Every week, LinkedIn sends me an email of suggested job postings for me to check out ((This, despite the fact that I love my job and am not looking for a new one.)). It titles the email like this: “Beth: [Name of employer], [Name of employer], and [Name of employer] are looking for candidates like you!” and […]

  • Cleaning Is Hazardous To Your Health

    And this, my friends, is why I don’t believe in cleaning. I suffered not one, but TWO broken nails ((For the record, there’s no damage to my actual nail. Just the gel stuff they build the fake nails out of got broken, which is what looks all jagged and yucky.)) from cleaning this evening! TWO! […]

  • My Final Day in Quarantine

    So I genuinely thought I’d blog on all my days in quarantine since, you know, I’m stuck in quarantine and have nothing better to do than blog. But, as it turns out, when you are stuck in quarantine you end up with nothing to write about because ohmygodsoboring! Today, thankfully, is my last day in quarantine as […]

  • Quarantine: Day 1

    So I’ve been in quarantine for more than a full day now and I have to say: quarantine is not for extroverts. I’m pretty sure I’ve got cabin fever, which, happily does not involve an actual fever but, sadly, does not involve a cabin. I kind of wish I was at a cabin. Anyhoo, here’s […]

  • I’m Highly Contagious with Zombie Eyeball Disease

    In the latest instalment of Beth’s 2016 health woes, apparently I am now infected with the highly contagious adenovirus. Because apparently having a cold, which this year comes associated with the “100 day cough” ((My doctor told me that people are having a chronic cough for like 3 months after a cold this year and […]

  • I Was Poisoned… By Food!

    This posting comes with a TMI content warning! I was on way to work on Monday and half way through my Skytrain ride, I started to feel nauseated, which is most unusual for me. I managed to sit through my 7:30 am offsite meeting for 2 hours ((Like a 2 hour meeting that starts at […]

  • Birthday Report

    So I had a birthday. Apparently my cats knew it was my birthday, because they gave me a present: one of their toys was in the bag that I take to work when I got up on Monday morning. So thoughtful of them. At work, some of my coworkers took me out for lunch, which was […]

  • Happy Bethmas Eve!

    Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Bethmas weekend, yet here it is 365 days since the last Bethmas Eve! Since Bethmas falls on Monday this year, I’ve decided to extend Bethmas celebrations for the whole week as having my birthday party before my birthday seemed too early in […]
