9am. No snow. Skipper goes out for her first pee of the day with no jacket. Success. I'm proud of us both. Noon. Maybe an inch wherever it isn't just melting. Skipper asks me to go out (a win), I notice (another win), and she pees outside while wearing a thin coat. There's enough snow … Continue reading An April Snowstorm
Thinking of Bones
Of all the things this Russian-Ukrainian war makes me think about, I did not expect the catacombs of Paris to be one of them. And yet, now that they're in my head, it makes perfect sense. Almost six years ago, I visited those catacombs and wrote this, which perfectly conveys what I'm starting to feel … Continue reading Thinking of Bones
Chihuahuas
It's not that I'm forgetting to write, and it's not that I have nothing to write about. It's that anytime I'm not at work or in a class, then I'm walking the pup or filming an audition or editing my novel or going over finances. And if I'm not doing that, then I'm exhausted, and … Continue reading Chihuahuas
I forgot to post this last week
I'm a precarious writer and these are precarious times. September's just around the corner and although I barely notice the seasons passing anymore, this turn of season does come with some decisions that I need to make. The meds aren't doing much of anything, by the way. I felt a difference in the first two … Continue reading I forgot to post this last week
ADHD: A little about too much.
What a day I've had. I know it's been a while, and I'd like to say it's because I've been busy—which is true, I have been busy—but I know that's no excuse because I started this blog as a university student and wrote posts daily through uni classes, running clubs, a part time job, writing … Continue reading ADHD: A little about too much.
Life Updates: I’m Still Here
It's been a while. I got busy, but I'm still here. https://youtu.be/ZcLxtLRs2YY
Quarantine Haircuts
I think nearly everyone's done an in-home haircut of some kind by this point. I trimmed my bangs over the summer, and my sister Amy cut my brother's hair. I made videos of both. Enjoy. Also, I've reached 400 followers after six years of blogging, so thank you for that. If you aren't following, I … Continue reading Quarantine Haircuts
The New Job
I'm sorry I haven't written in a minute, but as you can probably guess from the title, I've been occupied. In January, I was lucky enough to start a new job. My first permanent full-time job, and in the middle of a recession no less (although, it seems there's a recession every year, so perhaps … Continue reading The New Job
Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
I don't review books, tv shows, or films anymore because I hate saying bad things about them, but I still want to share some great finds. So, after a year which has allowed me to consume more art than usual, I have come up with a list of my favourites. Books: I did not read … Continue reading Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
Alone on Christmas Eve (and loving it)
Tonight I sit in my new (to me) reading chair, alone on Christmas Eve. My last post was a month ago, and what a month it's been! I've been busy, and there have been some big changes in my life. The biggest being that I've moved into my own place. It's a basement suite without … Continue reading Alone on Christmas Eve (and loving it)
