Greetings, and Welcome to My Blog

It's been just over a month since I walked away from 45 years of life in Canada to begin anew in California, and all I can say is I have made a terrible mistake.

 Just kidding! Things are going great so far, so I have begun this blog to regale you with tales of boring minutia exciting adventure from The Golden State. You may think I would be enjoying my first stretch of unemployment-as-an-adult by sitting around doing as much nothing as possible, but I assure you that is (mostly) not the case. I've been funning and adulting so hard I've only managed to read three novels since I got here!

I don't promise any kind of regular posting schedule, so don't panic if I haven't blogged anything for a week or so. I'll try to post on Facebook when I've added a new blog entry, so if you're not on Facebook I guess you're screwed you'll just have to tune in regularly to see if anything new has gone up.

To all my friends and family back in Canada: I miss you lots and while this blog isn't as good as having my presence in person, hopefully it will suffice until I'm back for a visit.

xoxo

      Two Nero Wolfe novels ("The Rubber Band" and "The Red Box") and the last Spellman novel, "The Last Word" by Lisa Lutz. I enjoyed the Spellman novels but they have run their course and I'm glad this is the last one. I've read all the Nero Wolfe books before (more than once) and I like to go back and re-read them every once in a while--it's like visiting old friends :)

R.I.P. Jacques, Best Frenchie Ever: Sept 28, 2010 - Nov 10, 2020

 It had been so long since he'd had a seizure--more than a month, and we had just been to the neurologist and she said he was doing well. So at first, I wasn't quite sure what was wrong with him, I thought maybe he was just struggling to get up. This happened a lot these days since the prednisone had weakened his muscles and tendons. But then I saw the wild eyes and the foaming at the mouth and I knew we were in full-on seizure territory. After a few minutes, it became clear this one was worse than the others. It wasn't stopping, and there was more foaming than usual. D ran to get our friend's truck, the one they have so generously to loaned us for Jacques' periodic doctor appointments.  The seizure just kept going, and now there was a pink tinge to the foam. We got him to the emergency vet, and they took him in straight away, got him sedated, and got the seizure to stop, but it was too late. His heart was too stressed, and he went into cardiac arrest. They got him ...

Welcome to the Apocalypse

 So, 2020. Amirite? What a shit show. But in all seriousness, I know a lot of my family and friends are worried about me since California has been on fire for what seems like forever but has really only been a few weeks , and now Oregon has decided it felt left out , which means I appear to be living on the set of some kind of post-apocalyptic film production except Hollywood is largely shut down so this must be my reality somehow. When I wrote my previous post in December 2018 about being homesick, I had no idea that a year later California, and the rest of the world, would be inundated by a virus that could potentially make me very actually sick. And then only 8 months later something called PM2.5 , something I'd never even heard of before, would be doing its damnedest to get into my lungs and fuck my shit up and it is LITERALLY EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW.  Friends and family, I can tell you not to worry and that I'm fine, and this is actually true right now. We have good quali...
