On the third day of donating…

In light of the overturning of Roe v. Wade this year, donating to an organization that supports the right to choose is important to me. I know that Roe is in America, but there are still barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health care in Canada, so today I’m donating to Options for Sexual Health. […] →Read more

On the first day of donating…

After a year’s hiatus, I’m bringing back my 12 days of donating. Not that I took a hiatus from donating last year. I did some donating, I just didn’t blog about it. But I kind of like doing this little 12 day thing. It gets my blogging and gets me thinking about where to donate […] →Read more

Is This Thing On?

So my calendar tells me that today is my 17th blogiversary so I thought it would be appropriate to write a blog posting. Apparently that’s not a thought I’ve had very often lately, as this is only my 8th blog posting THIS YEAR! That’s just slightly more than one per month, on average, which has […] →Read more

Adulting

So last year I did a whole lot of condo stuff and was totally remiss at blogging about any of it. It was the result of a bunch of stuff in my place reaching end-of-life and the fact that we couldn’t really go anywhere or do anything last year (thanks, of course, to the pandemic). […] →Read more

An Unexpected Trip

After not seeing my family for more than two years (thanks, pandemic), I just spent a nearly 5 weeks at my mom’s house. It wasn’t a planned trip – my mom needed an urgent surgery, so I hopped on a plane so I could be there during her surgery and to help out as she […] →Read more

10 Years

I’m not in much of a writing mood, but I couldn’t let today go by without acknowledging that it’s been 10 years since my Dad’s been gone and I still miss him every day. What can I say that I haven’t said a million times, anyway? I was lucky to be his daughter. My dad […] →Read more

RIP HPWU

Two and half years ago, I started playing this Harry Potter game on my phone. It was called Harry Potter Wizards Unite (HPWU). It was sort of based on Pokemon Go, in that it also involved walking around in the world and encountering things which you could interact wiht using “Augmented Reality” (i.e., pictures that […] →Read more

Glasses and Thyroid Hormone

Hey remember that time I got laser eye surgery? Apparently my eyes didn’t get the memo that the good vision was supposed to last a lifetime. When I went for an eye exam about a year and a half ago, I mentioned to my eye doctor that I found it hard to read street signs […] →Read more

Goals for 2022

Another year starting amidst a bunch of uncertainty means I’m going with another small list of moderate goals for 2022. In fact, I’m going to use a very similar list to last year, but with a few additions. By the end of 2022, I will have:  made 22 new foods and/or beverages that I’ve never […] →Read more
