May Favourites
I think May might be my favourite month, at least up here. It is the month that spring finally makes it’s appearance up here and if I enjoy anything about up here it’s that once warm weather really makes it’s appearance it comes so quickly. Like we get about three weeks of spring and then…

My Favorite Amazon Buys vol. 1
I never used to shop on Amazon, I was a conscientious objector to Amazon shopping (except for a couple textbooks I couldn’t find anywhere else once in 2014 and once in 2017). But since moving up here I have come to rely on Amazon a bit because there truly are some things that I cannot…

April in Review
I didn’t take that many pictures this month, a product of working too much and poor mental health. The weather seems to be making a proper turn for the better finally, and I have a couple trips planned. One of my new friends said that if you are choosing to live here for the career…
