Took a few days of work to finish my reno project. That apt looks damn good, if I do say so myself. I redid - subfloor, tile, paint, trim, light fixtures, electrical outlets, even the doorknobs! It took about 70 hours of labour but I did it for about $2,500. I am feeling very [...]

It is a beautiful hot, summer day. I am going to go home and lay tile in the apt kitchen, instead of going to the beach like I really really want to. Damn I hate being a grown up sometime.
Yesterday had a very high sugar day and boy was it tough! I crashed so hard [...]

I had forgotten what I love about big cities…the energy, the variety, the anonymity. I [...]

Slowly I am moving my little weight ticker, oh so slowly. Cutting out almost all flour and sugar has helped. I only stayed on induction for a week or so and now I am keeping the carbs at around 50 (most days). I just feel so much better eating this way. Although I had to [...]

Blew the farmers market idea - in fact, completely forgot about it. Didn’t get dressed until 2pm because I stayed up until 3am watching ‘What Not to Wear’ and some Brit hgtv import show about selling your European vacation home. Time well wasted. However redeemed myself by eventually putting in six solid hours of cleaning [...]

I know I am being silly, but I am counting on the placebo effect. Please do not tell me how useless these things are, or that I just wasted $30 - but I bought a pack of otc weight-loss pills. I know they don’t do anything, but maybe just this once I am wrong? (cringe).
There’s [...]

Nothing like power tools to make a girl feel in control!
I power washed my front porch tonight - it’s prep for fixing the cracks and painting,which I am determined to do before the end of the summer. But, even though it was a total pain to go down to the basement, find the power washer, [...]

It is pouring rain but I am going to do the long route with dog tonight. I need the movement…and so does he!
Loverboy has fully recovered, thank you. At least this time. We had a long talk and I shared my observations - in a loving, supportive way - about his diet choices. This [...]

Almost 4am. Spent the evening in the hospital emerg with Loverboy as he was having very bad stomach pains. They couldn’t find anything urgent, sent him home with some drugs and advice to see his doctor Monday. He is not happy, still in pain. I am totally wound up and can only hope I can [...]
