week fourteen

I’ve just come back from a day on McNab Island, where the weather held up well until the very end. We were fortunate. The landscape, the history and even the deer I spotted, didn’t quite distract me from worries about the future, money and how I am going to work out the logistics of possible job interview. But luckily, one organization has ok-ed my request for a phone interview, and I will be preparing for that as I head into this next week. On Thursday, I leave beautiful Nova Scotia to see family in Toronto. I know Halifax was never perfect, but it was indeed home.

week eight

Still do much left to do before flying across the ocean. It seems much more then last time. Maybe I knew then I wasn’t ready yet. Maybe this time it’s more for real. I feel very different about the whole thing this time.
Additionally I happen to be editing other self-photos in the picture above, tough decision with lack of inspiration. Too much on my plate for massive creativity at the moment.

good things (week eight).
. a friend dropping by for a cup of tea to catch up and reminisce about thailand
. homemade sushi for lunch (twice!)
. my first bag, 18 kilos of it, arriving in Canada
. getting my parents hooked up to skype & webcam
. going through halifax photos, and, therefor, down memory lane
. a long, long skype chat with best friend Cecilie
. video of Dulary & Misty in the pond at the Tennesse Elephant Sanctuary
. discovering Ben & Jerry’s has a new flavour called Peanut butter cookie dough. nuff said
