personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
It was a long weekend in Canada this week, so Tuesday was the first day of our week, but I really felt like it punched me in the gut, so it is the perfect time for this post. A photo-journal of WASP Rot. The best and most good Tennessean, Dolly Parton's favourite makeup looks. And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: the return of movies, Tennessee’s Queen, and Snoop
So basically I needed to get out. It had been three months of basically complete social isolation beyond Zoom meetings and vaccine clinics and I needed to get out of this tiny town. Also, Ontario had been in Step 1 of re-opening for a couple weeks and I was starting to lose my mind with … Continue reading Weekend in Kenora

And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination

Our new cases daily, our hospitalizations daily, … Continue reading Obsessions: April 17
Well Ontario. We're nearly a week in to Quarantine/Lock-down/Stay-at-home/Flatten the curve number 4 here. And given that this is probably the worst wave that we have seen yet that when this stay-at-home order expires it will not be releasing us straight into normal pre-COVID life. So I need some things to do. In the past … Continue reading Quarantine Round 4 Activities
