Financial Fitness Check-in: November 2022
November was not nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be, I really thought I had totally blown my budget. There was just so much unexpected work travel, and while I get reimbursed for it, it still ends up costing money in food and then you’re tired the next day so you buy…

November Empties
This was an unusual haul of empties this time around, mostly because there were more cardboard packaged items in this month’s collection than plastic or glass packaged items like normal. Which I thought was interesting, I don’t know if it really means anything, is just interesting. I’ve also been thinking about doing a big summary…

What I Read in November
Happy December! I only finished one book this month, I’m nearly halfway through Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid right now, because I want to read it before the mini-series comes out (hopefully sometime next year) and I enjoyed Malibu Rising and Evelyn Hugo so much. I don’t know why I do…

November in Review
I don’t have any way to prove it, but I feel like I must have set a record for places visited in the Province of Ontario this month, and distance traveled while staying in the province. I went from Sioux Lookout to Kasabonika Lake, back to Sioux Lookout, to Wunnumin Lake back to Sioux Lookout,…

October in Review
I was so surprised when I was going through my camera roll for this at how many hiking/outdoorsy pics there were. This is my most outdoorsy month ever in my life. It was really nice though, we had pretty great weather for October in Northwestern Ontario. We don’t have any snow and I am extremely…

September Empties
If I have noticed anything writing these posts it’s that I follow a cycle, extreme waste reduction to hyperconsumption to feeling guilty about spending so much on beauty products and consuming so much plastic packaging, to not buying anything and then it starts again. And I am definitely in a not buying anything phase, even…

September in Review
September was a fantastic month, an absolutely insanely busy month but it was so fun and fulfilling and I really needed it. Also today is Truth and Reconciliation Day, if you live on settled land please take the time today to think about the loss and suffering that Indigenous Peoples endured for colonization to occur…

What I Read in August
After an insane month of reading in July, it’s only fitting I guess that I only read one book in August. Beautiful World, Where Are You – Sally Rooney Overall, I’m still not certain what I think of Sally Rooney’s books, I have now read Normal People and this book, and I’m not sure if…

August Slipped Away
August is such a weird month, I think especially since I now live so far north and have such clear memories of how miserable I was this past winter August felt like there was so much pressure. To do things, to have fun, to go to the beach, to swim. But then it was also…

July in Review
I really got into my morning walks, especially since town beach opens and it’s about 11 minutes into my walk and I walk 15 minutes one way and then turn around and come back (you have to pay attention to the time in the morning) it’s just always so pretty and peaceful at the beach.…
