Because My Apartment Is Amazing

January 7, 2009

Went downstairs to toss a late load of laundry into the dryer and saw a notice posted in the laundry room — there are “door closure tests” tomorrow between 10am and 4pm, so people will need access to my apartment.  What the fuck is a door closure test?  Clearly my doors close, or else I’d [...]

Week 30 Gripes

December 9, 2008

Holy fuck, I feel … overwhelmed with pregnant woman-ness today.  I feel huge and unpleasantly heavy.  My back is killing me — I slept on it last night — woke up hardly able to move.  I need to find something to wedge behind me when I sleep so I don’t roll over.
Hot chocolate tastes too [...]

Maybe a Little Over-Sensitive…

November 28, 2008

A sister of a childhood friend is pregnant. She (the sister) actually found me on Facebook, and while we weren’t ever close, we got along just fine. I’ve been keeping up on her little updates and commenting on her pictures (she just found out she’s having a girl, posted the ultrasound pic and [...]

Immigration, How I Love Thee…

November 23, 2008

We got a letter early in the week saying that my visa has been approved.  This is great!  They wanted me to send them my passport (not so great), fill out yet another form (sigh), get yet more passport photos (I think we’ve taken 12 for this now, but of course not all at one [...]

It’s Been a Very Bad Few Days

November 10, 2008

I’ve cried every day for the last three, sometimes multiple times. I don’t know if I’m emotional, or if I’m finally realizing how big of a change is coming to my life, or what the deal is… but I just feel wrung out and useless.
Chris has never been big on “snuggling”; he gets too [...]

Baking Makes Me Angry

November 1, 2008

I have a cookie craving right now.  I have flour, sugar (white granulated, brown, and icing varieties), cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking powder, almond & vanilla extracts, and time on my hands.  But, because you can’t fake baking, I need to find a recipe — I can’t just throw the things that sound yummy [...]

Sigh

October 31, 2008

Seven or eight years ago when I was with my ex, I started talking to another guy online — an American in Toronto, working on his degree in some politics & international relations field. We really hit it off. He and his girlfriend lived together, but he was having a hard time; emotionally, [...]

Immigration Rant

October 28, 2008

So, as mentioned before, on October 15th we went in for our immigration interview, to prove that we’re a “genuine and valid” couple.  Fun fun fun.  We are.  The interviewer mentioned, however, that we needed to pay a fee at the office that approved my husband’s sponsorship and that she needed to see if she [...]

Apartment Living at its “Finest”

October 8, 2008

Yesterday, Chris and I both realized that, if we had been able to “test drive” this apartment before moving in, we would not have chosen to live here.
Let me preface this by saying that our neighbourhood is gorgeous and I LOVE this city, so we’d try to stay in the area, but this particular building [...]

A Lack of Patience pt 3

October 1, 2008

I hope this is the last part of this “series” that I have to write for awhile.
So I’m sitting at home yesterday, doing some cleaning, and I find our George Foreman grill. This thing has grilled zucchini twice, but usually Chris uses it for hamburgers. On this day, however, I look at it [...]
