The days are getting longer. No, I know it’s not March 20th yet. I mean work-wise. In two weeks, I will work 8 days straight, for probably on average 10 hours a day. Next week I will only work 5 days but they will be long days involving me going all over the surrounding neighbourhood [...]
There is this deli in Capilano Mall called Nelly’s Deli, and they make the most amazing soup. I’m not a soup person but their spicy red lentil soup has me addicted. I’ve gone a few times with my mum and she’s now addicted to the borscht. The other times we have gone, we’ve both ordered [...]
I had my first physio appointment today. My knee has been getting a little better every day, although still swollen and aching if I have to walk for anything longer than about 150 feet. My physio, Robyn, is awesome. I liked her from the beginning – she was easy to talk to, listened to me [...]

I vacuumed my house today. I had a second-hand vacuum that I thought worked just fine, but I have taken borrowed my mum’s second vacuum because today was going to be the day that I cleaned my bedroom and stopped letting Andy in there. Did you catch the past tense in that sentence? First, let [...]
A Public Service Announcement from Your Body. Go see. It’s fabulous.
Running the Numbers – an American Self-Portrait. Very interesting. * In other news, I got fitted for my expensive custom made brace today. I think it’s going to make a huge difference once I start wearing it. It takes 7-10 days to make and ship it, so I have a little time to wait still. [...]
