Not post-worthy

But on the internet nevertheless.

I am sick. Again. Or perhaps still. This time I have a sinus infection. And an eye infection. And a cough of some sort. And I am so tired I just want to sleep all day.

And my everything hurts. Except for that one thing. It feels fine. Unless I go like this.

But I did go to the Doctor, which I am wont to do won't usually do.

So I am on the mend.

Also, I am still looking for a roomate. And I've redone my roomie poster. Hopefully I will outlive my disease to see if this one is more useful to my cause than the last one.

Also, for dinner tonight: Spanish Rice and Vontessori Chicken in Hoisin sauce.

Stuuuuudy break!

I made saltfish and bakes. 'Cause that way my study break would be extra long, and extra delicious. You're jealous. Admit it.

Saltfish and bakes

I am such a bad student

I am studying for my commercial drivers licence. Or rather, I am trying to study for my commercial drivers licence. I started studying a while ago, and picked up the book today to do some refreshin'.

I am making some new discoveries in my adventure to be able to drive large amounts of screaming children in large, lumbering vehicles.

EXHIBIT A


I hate studying. I feel like I am in OAC Calculus all over again. Information goes into my brain, my brain processes all the information and makes up little tricks so it can remember everything, my brain does a quick self-test to see if it got everything right, my brain is proud of itself, my brain promptly forgets everything that it has just learned.

EXHIBIT B


Music used to help me study, but today it is just distracting. Instead of assimilating the proper technique of double clutching when downshifting a front-controlled vehichle into my general knowledge, I keep singing along to Stevie Wonder. Baaaa-by, everything is all right, up tight, c-c-c-clean out of sight!

What does that even mean?

EXHIBIT C


Studying is making me hungry. Which is causing me to want to take study breaks . But I am not taking study breaks every time my tummy grumbles because I am trying to exercise discipline, or something. But my stomach continues to make itself known, distracting me further from my studies. And instead of just appeasing it I keep singing the cheery tag line from Body Break with Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod. Except now it's "Stuuuudy Break!"

Shameless self-promotion

I am so famous!

Also, I am so bad at catching mice!

And also so good at drawing.

Good night.

Name! That! Mouse!

UN

I have a mouse in my house. Anyone wanna name him before he gets himself caught in a trap before I catch him using purely humane means and set him free to roam the Commercial Drive area with his long lost mouse friends?

DEUX

It was so good to be back in Toronto with my family. I feel so good now. Like I can climb a mountain, swim an ocean, continue living in Vancouver, get over Keturah's death, and catch a mouse all at the same time.

TROIS

The Intern was here for her reading break. It made me realize how much happier I am when people are around. And also, how much more fun I have, and how much better I eat. Cooking salmon kabobs with roasted fennel and multi-coloured peppers just isn't the same if you're the only one who's gonna eat it. Or even know you made it.

Conclusion: I either need to find a really good roomie or a really good man.

QUATRE

Cancer really is getting on my nerves. I should write a letter.

CINQ

That was a little more depressing than I had planned. I swear, I was trying to convey how good I'm feeling. Oh! Hey, I'm published!
