I Wonder What Dad’s Eyes Are Seeing Today?
My mom called yesterday to tell me that she got a letter from the Trillium Gift of Life Network saying that my dad’s eyes, which we donated after my dad died, had been used in two sight-restoring surgeries. Which means that two people who would otherwise be blind can now see thanks to my dad’s generous gift. […] →Read more
Good-bye Pratt, Hello Berk
There’s someone that I’ve been seeing entirely too much of lately. His name is Pratt and he’s been consuming my days and even guest starring in my dreams ((Well, technically it wasn’t Pratt per se in my dreams, but I did have a few accounting-related nightmares in the last few weeks. True story.)): Had my […] →Read more
My Sister Is Cooler Than A Robot With Flames On It
Because I was having a grumpy day not too long ago, my sister drew me these pictures of robots. With flames. Because who wouldn’t be cheered up by robots and flames? No one, that’s who!

I’ve eaten something for breakfast every single day ((Not necessarily the *most* healthy breakfast every day, but nothing too terrible.)) and I’ve done some form of physical activity (in addition to my […] →Read more
May Health Challenge
So, I’m getting fat. True story. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve gained 10 pounds. TEN! And remember, I’m only 5 ft tall, so that’s like a normal sized human gaining 50 lbs ((Seriously. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I can’t fit into most of my dress pants right now.)). OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a […] →Read more
Bulleted Lists Are The New Black
Just finished a weekend of classes. As per usual, I learned a tonne of stuff, the people are super awesome and I’m freaking exhausted. Freaking exhaustion will thus be my excuse for a lack of coherence and plethora of typos I will likely make in this blog posting. Apologies in advance. And now – a […] →Read more

In my ongoing birthday series of Things That Important People in My Life Have Taught Me, it’s time for a birthday shout out to my brother-in-common-law ((i.e., my sister’s partner)), Jeff.
