Or; How I got hooked on StarDew Valley. It’s really strange times that we’re living in. Spring break has been over for a week(it’s two weeks in BC) and we’re just starting a kind of home schooling for Liam. His teacher had a class meeting using Microsoft Teams last Friday, and it went kinda poorly. […]
West Coast vibe
We’ve been here a little over two years now, and I’m starting to know my way around the place. Somewhat. In those two years Tara and I have found work, Liam’s had two years of school(can’t believe that he’s going into grade 3) and Evie’s grown by leaps and bounds. We’ve found a place of […]
Ain’t got time for that!
I commute to work. I like commuting to work. Would I like working out of my kitchen more, sure, probably, but since I can’t do that, I commute, and I like it. Really sounds like I’m trying to convince myself of something doesn’t it? But I really do like it. I’m not driving, and this […]
MEC
The last time we checked in with our intrepid hero, he was whining about something! But since then much time has passed, and not much has been done. I’ve been looking for work and had many interviews. Some on the phone, some in person, and for the most part it was fruitless. I should just […]
DTE
Like most newer vehicles the van has various display settings that I can cycle through, like trips, temp, speed and DTE, which I assume stands for Distance Till Empty. This is the setting I’ve been using the most on this trip as it’s a good idea to know how much has you have left when […]
Go West
Life is peaceful there…. And now it’s stuck in your head, you’re welcome. It is a surreal feeling to have all of ones physical possessions packed in a trailer and driving west to a new start. I almost feel like a pioneer. In a minivan, and unlikely to die of dysentery(unless I have too much […]
Three days in Ontario
The end of day three is here. I’m sitting in a hotel room in the dark while Liam and Evelyn are sleeping. This is the second night with separate hotel rooms, and I think we’ll keep it this way. I snore and Tara is a light sleeper these days. We’re at our best if we […]
Final Goodbyes
The trailer is rented, the final packing is under way, and we’ve made some trips tot he dump and the domation centers to help clear out the house.And through it all I haven’t really had much time to take it all in. People keep asking me how I’m doing, and honestly, I’m just tired. It’s […]
So I have ADHD
There, it’s said. I was officially diagnosed last week after two sessions with the psychologist. It’s been something that I’ve been meaning to have done for a little while now, and I’ll be honest, it’s nice to know that whatever is in my head can be corrected or at least worked on. And for this […]
Halloween
It was either this or write a novel…. Another Halloween has come and gone. But this year was a far sight busier than last year. Or so I’ve heard, I was stuck in an airport in Brazil at the time. Liam has been looking forward to Halloween pretty much all summer. For some reason, and […]
