As a retail worker, the holiday season means I have less and less time for, well, anything. My mornings, when I have them, are spent in the gym or in my bed. Fifty-fifty. Then work, and then an hour to get home where I'll sometimes write on the train, and once I get home I basically … Continue reading Holidays
You will not believe the morning I've had. I was late going to the gym. After the gym I was late getting to work. So I didn't blow-dry my hair after my shower and ran outside to get to work and my hair froze (you might get to see it if you follow me on … Continue reading Good Morning
You know that saying, "When hell freezes over"? People should stop saying it. Hell is probably freezing to begin with. Much like Calgary. Calgary is the kind of cold that makes you forget you were ever warm. It's the kind of cold that burns cities, as evidenced by the steam that seems to rise off … Continue reading Freezing

I broke a record last month: The fewest blog posts posted in a single month since I started. It was two. Pitiful. Anyway, I've had an influx of new followers, and assuming most of you aren't bots, I think I'll do a little introduction. Hello! My name is Ivy. Here is what I look like: … Continue reading Re-Introducing Myself
I joined a gym today. When it comes to working out...I don't. So I started small and hardly did anything and I still barely made it down the stairs without falling over because my legs were feeling wobbly. How embarrassing. I'll be back tomorrow. The challenge with gymming is persistence. I'm going to have to keep … Continue reading Gymming
Despite the fact that I've only written a single post since the beginning of this month, people have kept subscribing to my blog. I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I suppose I should start writing again to make your loyalty worthwhile. In case you haven't guessed from the prolonged and unforgivable absence (I have a … Continue reading On Top of That
I recently read an old diary of mine from when I was fourteen-ish. I had tried to make it fun in the beginning in the way I'd thought diaries were supposed to be, like YA contemporary novels and 90s teen flicks. But I gave up about halfway through. I started writing the stuff I really … Continue reading An Old Diary
No Spoilers. I've been following Victoria Aveyard on Twitter for a while now. While I've found her book blurb intriguing enough, I was never in any rush to read it. It sounded unoriginal to me. A world where some people have silver blood and superpowers, and the rest are just plain, red-blooded humans who are seen … Continue reading Red Queen
Sooooo I really wasn't planning to do much for Halloween this year. I thought I'd maybe watch TV while my dad handed out candy or something boring like that. But yesterday I got invited to a Halloween party and now I'm panicking a little bit because I have no costume prepared and it's less than … Continue reading I Need Your Help
