Four days. FOUR DAYS!

I know I’m not updating, but I have a really good reason. MY LIFE IS TOTALLY CRAZY RIGHT NOW!
I’ve started a new (friend and family) public blog but I’ll keep it under wraps until there’s more content.  Eventually, I’ll probably shut this one down, but for now I’m keeping it up.
No more updates until I’m [...]

Totally ready for this all to be over. Please.

Last night we went for dinner at a friend’s house (one of like, 20 social things we must go to in the next nine days), and I was so tired that I fell asleep on her sofa after we had eaten.  I mean, this is a very close friend so I didn’t care too much about ‘appearances’, but [...]

Total upheaval of your life if a lot of work, you know.

Last night I picked up a book called Diplomatic Baggage: The Adventures of a Trailing Spouse by Brigid Keenan.  It has been recommended to me by a variety of people and the bookstore near me finally had it in stock so I picked it up.  So far, it’s incredibly depressing.  The loneliness that’s amplified by [...]

Highlights

Highlights from last Saturday (our karaoke sendoff):
-My brother showing up and staying all night and having a great time (he’s even more introverted/hermit-like than me and I know this was a huge effort for him to be around so many people he doesn’t know).  And then he tried to pick up one of my friends.
-The [...]

Yep – this leaving stuff is feeling real now.

I’m very excited for tomorrow.  We’re having a leaving party at our favourite karaoke place in Chinatown and I have some friends coming in from out of town, which I’m so happy about.  These two girls who were my very good friends when I loved back here from Random European Country, and who both left [...]

It’s the little things that make me happy these days!

I’ve been trying to stay on top of everything these days with my infamous calendar. It helps a lot, except that when I look at it I want to crawl under a rock and disappear.  There is just SO MUCH STUFF TO DO.  I just remembered this morning that I have to change my address; [...]

There is such a thing as too many lattes.

I’m finally back at work after a weekend of delayed flights and spending too much money at the airport.  I’m exhausted but happy I got to see my dad accomplish his dream (even though I missed the whole ceremony because I was drinking my eighth green tea latte in Toronto’s Pearson Airport, praying to whatever [...]

I’ve been thinking alot recently about what to do with my blog when I’m away.  BF’s job is of a sensitive nature and we will be Diplomats in Random Asian Country so I obviously can’t be writing anything too personal or public about our lives.  Also, our family and friends here have suggested that we have [...]

Randomness

I’m back at work after a four-day weekend and I’m having trouble getting into the groove of things.  Yesterday was Canada Day and so a public holiday, and Monday I was told not to come into work because I should use up my accumulated sick leave before leaving.
Leaving date is confirmed for August 14th.  Yes, that [...]
