It’s finally the day we head up to Vancouver for a one-week Christmas trip! We’ve been planning for a couple of weeks, and while I’ve been nervous about traveling outside of work, I was really looking forward to visiting Vancouver again. I woke up around 8:30AM, all packing finished the night before, and made a […]
The past week I’ve been in a daze of sleeping, pain, and a heartbeat so slow I wondered if it would stop altogether. I got my wisdom teeth taken out on the 15th, so my schedule has been something like this, give or take a few hours: 8AM: eat breakfast, take 1 amoxycillin, 1 ibuprofen, […]

It took several years, I’ll be honest, but I finally got my film from my Iceland 2019 trip developed this month as a birthday present. I’m certain they went through a great degree of degrading, but they are mine and they are precious to me. One of the biggest worries for me on this trip […]
