personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
June was such a great month, it was so social, it was a little expensive, but it was so worth it. It was probably the best month since like January 2020, it was great. I travelled (not super far, but did leave the country, went out for dinner, went to a concert, celebrated friends, and … Continue reading June in Review
Happy Wednesday friends! Once again, we have a short week in Canada this week (Friday is Canada Day and therefore a holiday) which is exciting if really messing up my work flow. And a note, that if you have read the previous volumes of this series, we are continuing the alternating pattern of lots of … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 6
This was such a weird week, it was supposed to be our first week back in office, but I actually only worked out of the office on Monday, I'll explain why in each day, but it was such a confusing, fun, exciting, productive, week. The times really do be feeling precedented again. High: Monday evening … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
I finished stitching this canvas last year, but I am so terrified of ruining a canvas by cutting into it, which is a requirement of finishing, I think there are multiple parts to that fear, the actual monetary cost of the canvas and threads, and then the labour cost of the time spent stitching. So … Continue reading Needlepoint Notes: Bag Patch Self-Finishing
This was such a weird week, but so so good. Monday was our first official day in the office (I feel like I can't say back, since I have never been in the office before), and the power went out in the whole town so we got sent home early and two of my friends … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 6/24/22
This week I had some of one of those magic summer days where an amazing day just kind of falls together, the kind of day that hasn't been able to happen since 2019 and just how wonderful they are. It was hot on Monday, the high hit 36C, 40C in the sunshine, 104F and air … Continue reading Summer Spontaneity
Happy Wednesday everyone, it is a weird week for some Canadians, yesterday, Tuesday, was National Indigenous People's Day and some workplaces close to acknowledge it, especially if they work for or employ a large number of Indigenous people, so this includes my workplace. However, because it is not a federal holiday, you get the actual … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 5
This week felt very pre-2020, even though I literally had 4 COVID tests for work and wore a mask all the time, but I was in the office, I was doing work travel, I had a party, it really does feel like I am re-emerging into society. High: I have a few highs this week, … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
I drove to Winnipeg from where I live, it took about 5 hours. The highway was flooded over then, so I took the detour and ended up on this dirt road. It was actually alright, and I would much rather avoid flooding out my engine and take a few minutes longer to get there. And … Continue reading A Weekend in Winnipeg
Phew, I am hosting tomorrow night and I have just sat down at 11pm to write this post after cooking evening. I can't believe that I thought that I might be able to pull it together in two hours after work tomorrow. I was delusional, I am so glad I decided to prep tonight, it … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 06/16/2022
