So I dropped Justice off at the boarders today. Honestly, I don’t think I could have found a better place. Not only did she come highly recommended by my own trainer, but she’s a trainer herself, experienced with e-collars, prong collars, working dogs (Justice might not be a working dog, but she’s a working breed, [...]

Why do I get these ideas when I only have a week to implement them? So, next Tuesday, Nick & I leave for Clinton for a week. For those who don’t recall, this is a rather large SCA event/war in Clinton, BC. I showed up for a couple of days last year, spawning such pictures [...]

I finally agreed to migraine prophylaxis. I’m not pleased with the idea, because all migraine prophylactics are … well, pretty heavy duty drugs — anti-depressants, anti-seizure meds, beta blockers, etc. So I’ve got a prescription for a beta blocker. Apparently the main side effect of this will be fatigue. Great, because I’m not tired all [...]
Happy Birthday, Justice

I adopted Justice a week after she turned 1. Today (well, Saturday, but I haven’t slept yet so I’m going to call it “Today”) she turned 3. Happy Birthday, little girl. I think you’re officially an adult now. She’s even starting to act like one. Proof? We had an awesome 2.5 hour birthday hike up [...]
Stupid phone, slightly less stupid

I am much more pleased now. So, because I can’t live without call display, I added it on. $7, argh. However, I also realized that I might have been mistaken — my contract might not be up. I emailed to check, and sure enough when I got my new phone last year, I agreed to [...]
Stupid phone.

So about a week ago, I noticed that my caller ID wasn’t working anymore. That’s not cool. I require caller ID: I screen calls. So, I called Bell, and to my surprise … my contract is over, and the free caller ID promo I had is gone with it. Huh. So, they could add it [...]

I’ve decided not to pursue paramedicine. It kinda breaks my heart, but there it is. In BC, it’s basically not possible to start as a paramedic with BC Ambulance anywhere near Vancouver. And that was okay when I was just a single girl with my dog. A couple of years in the middle of nowhere [...]
How to Not Get Raped
July 3rd, 2009

I have a bit of a hate-on for fearmongering email forwards. This one, in particular, is about how to not get raped. I prefer the marmot’s response: 1. If you’re walking to your car late at night in a dark alley, make sure you reconsider. Car accidents much more likely to kill you than anyone [...]
