Obsessions: May 29
Hey friends we’re back with the post I always write as my cat runs around the apartment howling as he does every Saturday morning, only Saturdays I don’t know why or what he wants, but this is our Saturday morning routine. Also the featured image is a picture of my college friend Justina Reinhardt’s photography…

Mid-Week Procrastination: Lockdown blues
This wonderful interview with Nell Diamond, the founder of Hill House Home and inventor of the Nap Dress I want oh so desperately. I can’t decide if I’m cheugy or not, but caring would definitely be cheugy of me. Is it terrible that I am jealous of re-entry anxiety? This article about post-vaccine inertia has…

What I read in April
I hit a reading rut in April. I think it was partly because I was trying to read (a really good) non-fiction book and I’m just slower at reading non-fiction (it took me 6 weeks to read Barack Obama’s tome of a book). But I also just wasn’t in any kind of mood to read,…

April Empties
Compared to March it looks like I didn’t use anything up this month! Mostly, I just finished up some samples that I have had for several months. The nice thing about a Project Pan is that you actually do use those random things that you have accumulated over your years of purchasing. I do see…

Mid-Week Procrastination: Earth Week Edition
We’re sticking to a theme this week (which means that next week’s MWP post will be super full of fun, random stuff- hint, hint). But the ultimate Earth Week procrastination item would be to grab some shoes, a garbage bag, and a set of tongs and a container (if you live in an area where…

Earth Week: Low Waste House Cleaning
I am a fastidious house cleaner. Maybe excessively so, I just find it so much more pleasant, but it has not escaped my desire to use less plastic. I think I have made great strides here, but there are still areas I can work on. I also don’t think that there is any increased costs…

Obsessions: April 17
Normally I write this post on Friday nights, but the news of our lockdown being extended made me not do anything last night. I agree that lockdown should be extended, we need further public health measures because this is the worst the pandemic has ever been in Ontario. Our new cases daily, our hospitalizations daily,…

Quarantine Round 4 Activities
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…

Obsessions: April 10
I can’t remember if I said it on here last week, but I was starting to feel a little useless at work, like I wasn’t doing enough or that I had gotten through the intro/transition work a bit too quickly and that they didn’t have anything for me to do. However, this week I am…

A Real Adult Apartment
I got really lucky with my apartment up here. There is a huge housing shortage (rich developers, hi if you’re reading this, there is a huge housing market up here). There are a ton of jobs here, it is kind of the “last town” before the real north and this is where people come to…
