Renovated my Home Tonight

Was too meh tonight to feel being around people, TBH.

I am mega meh.

It’s so #FirstWorldProblems to say, but omg the ennui.

So I put my head down, and did manual labour for a few hours.

After.

Helped.

Trying to shake off the winter doldrums with some change here.

 

 

It’s Thursday Night, Have a Good One

Big-night-out-city-girl here.

After I publish this, it’s onto the last draft of next week’s column, “About Funeral Processions“. Earlier this week, I spent an afternoon chatting with funeral directors, they were a surprisingly funny bunch.

This happened today – the paper added a new section to our website, Autonet.ca.

Bottom right.

“Featured Author”, and a link to my latest article, permenently above the fold, nice.

Tomorrow will conclude the first 2 weeks working at my new job. Think I’ll be ready to blog all about it by end-of-the-month.

Because blogging something, it’s like, it makes it official.  It’s hard to explain, I’ll add it to the videos-to-make list. Basically though, the message is, “the internet keeps you accountable“.

I am loving it, to be clear.

It shows in my desk dancing.

I hope you desk dance, too.

Dismantled the ‘sticky note epiphany‘ wall.

Documented them all, here are some.

Clockwise from top left:

  • based on last year’s study of time to successfully execute a new years resolution, it’s best to start a month early, and have a semi-rhythm happening by the end of the year
  • “insurance is the cause of so much dumbness”.  Insurance sucks the fun away
  • “put blog in music”. Might do a security post about that. It’s part of my never-ending quest to avoid the cloud.

Found this shot of me driving Nissan’s Hybrid Pathfinder, when I blogged the Nashville story yesterday.

Nice change from the grainy selfless I usually post, eh.

So grainy. Like I blogged before, I still wonder if these phone camera lenses have built-in degradation.

Counter-argument is I probably take way more photos per day, than the average user. And like, imagine the wear & tear from one car show…

Hope it’s a good Thursday Night, best night of the week.

kk I have to go write, I’ll cheers you TTYT

 

 

Achieved a New Level of Minimalistic Living

Over the holidays, I mentioned I’d purged. This is when the new level was reached.

Boom BOOM I own nothing.

Notice no TV? No art, and definitely no photographs.  No eyes.

Plain.

Calm.

Life is already so busy and stimulating, so my home is opposite.

Look forward to take you on that video tour. Pretty proud of this actually, it took a while, this reduction.

It’s more of a lifestyle, than a decorating style.  Same idea as my backpack.

No attachment. That’s the key. To everything, really.

 

 

Fast Update that’s a Bit Boring

Catching you up quickly, but you haven’t missed much, it’s been a heads-down kind of week, nothing that exciting has happened to me.

It’s been productive, but boring.  Maybe they’re related.

Wednesday I picked up a Ford Fiesta… ST!

Non-car nerds: ST is the turbo version, only comes in manual, almost double the torque of the regular Fiesta.

Yes it got really cold here in TO in the last week-ish, but it’s Canada, it’s expected. Please stop whining, everywhere whiiiining.

Here’s an old video, “Why Canadian Winters are Awesome”

It has to be something.

This week’s best night of the week Thursday, was this:

Dull agenda, but least they’ll be done, and that feels great.

I don’t mind paying taxes, it’s the doing I don’t like.

Is there anything more boring…
calculate receipts, add 15 cents multiply by HST,
how much did I spend on parking in March,
who even cares, this is the worst.

Friday felt weird, didn’t it. Like, everyone tucked into a secret anger cocoon, was glad when the day was done.

Taxes will take a bit, will blog next in a few.

Have a great weekend! After this, there’s only 2 left in 2013.

Hi back there Lee.

 

 

It’s a Silent Saturday

Same as last night.  I’ll start talking again tomorrow. Need alone, imagination time. There’s a good chance I’m more accustomed to spending time alone than you.

Decompressing from an action-filled week, especially Thursday. I killed it harder than I have in a long time on Thursday. Made for a great setup for the best night of the week.

A huge highlight was being invited to Google.

Whole post coming soon, learned a lot about how people shop for a car.

It was a great day at work, and later my Viddy video account crested 400 followers, not bad given my following number ha.

There’s probably some videos you’ve not seen, because I’ve not yet blogged them here.

Still evolving my look.

Mostly I just bought dress pants.

My desk at the end of the week AKA what it took to accomplish everything (pretty minimal eh)

Picked up this week’s flowers.

If ever you need to calm me down, give me flowers to arrange, or a collage to make; so soothing.

My back is still out, but improving. My mind has returned to 85% normal functioning.  Usually I’d say 100%, but really trying to stay committed to testing out this new, slower way.

So today looks mostly like this.  Jogging pants, couch and Workaholics.

Holy crap that show makes me burst out laughing. Click the above link to watch all episodes.

About to make my big day outing to the dollar store, then going back to blog polishing and quiet. TTY, have a good Saturday night.
