Planning for Delta Variant Autumn
So I was going to write this post on the places I would like to visit in Minnesota now that I live quite close to the International Falls/Fort Frances border crossing and supposedly the US border is opening on August 21, but it doesn’t really look like that’s going to be wise. So let’s talk…

Mid-week Procrastination: Bean Crime and Fall Plans
It has been a busy week already! I write these posts Tuesday evenings and if I could get up earlier I would write them Wednesday mornings instead because mid-week energy on a Tuesday evening is very different than the mid-week energy of a Wednesday morning. But this week has felt chaotic, I feel like I’m…

Back to School: Sorority Recruitment in Canada
I have had this post planned all month, but I think with how BamaRushTok took over TikTok last week and how Ole Miss Recruitment will probably do that this week, it seems even more timely than I ever thought it would be. I’ve already made a couple TikToks about this, because if I was a…

Needlepoint Self-Finishing: Framing
So I’ve been needlepointing for over a year now but I haven’t been doing a lot of finishing. Just stitching, putting it in a bag (or running out of thread and putting it in a separate bag until I get my shit together enough to order thread). Part of it is that I haven’t found…

Obsession: August 14
Professionally, this week was very overwhelming, I’m really hoping that after forest fire season things tone down for a bit at least, but probably we’ll just get straight into ice and winterstorm planning and the fourth wave of COVID so ugh. I’m glad to be busy and not bored, but building a department from nothing…

Still Mourning Events
I feel like this summer, particularly June and July, we really started to see places, especially Alberta and the USA going back to their lifestyles pre-pandemic. I don’t really feel like that has been the case in Ontario, especially not for me. I should have attended a beautiful wedding in the English countryside last week,…

Mid-Week Procrastination: Time is fake and women I’m obsessed with
How does time move so slowly and yet so quickly at the same time?! I am still over here thinking that 2022 is two years from now but we are in the second week of August 2021! What is happening to this year? I feel like we are stuck in a time loop of March…

No-Buy Month
I spent way too much money in July, some of it was explainable. It was a magical three paycheque month (if you get paid bi-weekly there are 2 months a year were you get 3 paycheques in a month). Normally my paycheques are pretty accounted for, with the first one of the month being most…

Obsessions: July 7th
For only the 2nd time ever I missed my normal Saturday posting of my Obsessions post. The first was because I was moving halfway across the country and hadn’t fully figured out the schedule post function, this time is because I have been throwing up violently for most of the weekend and could barely even…

July Empties
This was a big month for using stuff up. Some of it makes sense, a few things I have been using since last November and some were purchases I had to make because I haven’t yet got used to having to be prepared and planning ahead to avoid using plastic/packaged products. This is a great…
