Aka My Happy Place

May17

Aka My Happy Place

Last night was a revolutionary one for Jesse. We were finishing up his birthday dinner and he mentioned he had gotten a few texts re: his birthday post. I hauled out my laptop and let him read what I wrote. At first, he was touched. He quickly moved on to…”Wait…how much do you write about me… Read More…

Around the Bay Race Recap

Around the Bay Race Recap

Hello friends! I am surfacing from my essays, tests and projects to talk a bit about the race last weekend. My friend Leanne and I went down to Hamilton to the expo the day before the race to pick up our race packs and crash at Emma’s house for the night. To refrain from going… Read More…

Exactly what they tell you not to do.

Exactly what they tell you not to do.

I am busily packing for Around the Bay. This afternoon, Leanne, my long distance running partner in crime and I are headed to the race expo and to my good friend’s house who is letting us crash at her house so we don’t need to drive back for the race in the wee hours of the… Read More…

Do I have a sign on my forehead?

Mar9

Do I have a sign on my forehead?

I have made a triumphant return back to the snow, multiple jobs and neglected essays. And I can tell you, it was hardly a graceful one. The day of my return, I strode to the airline baggage department, picked up my luggage that never had left the airport and had an uneventful flight home in… Read More…

The Long Run along the Interstate #notbeach

Mar4

Long runs can be epic things. I didn’t get my run on the beach because we are now at the resort. But I did know I needed a long run or Around the Bay will be a bigger death march than it already is shaping up to be. So I went to the front desk… Read More…

Traveller’s Luck

Traveller’s Luck

So recently I happily announced that soon I would be doing this weekend’s long run on a beach in Florida. Well, I am sure I will, eventually. But I am writing this from an airport lounge in Toronto when I should be arriving in Tampa. Let’s review the nightmare that was today. I checked out… Read More…

Extraordinary People

Extraordinary People

Only an extra ordinary person can get an eating disorder.  Because it takes extraordinary strength to fight one.  It is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Remind the people in your life that you love them and that they are of irreplaceable value. If you want to tangibly support NEDA, consider buying a pair of mittens… Read More…

Jar of Hearts

Dec21

Jar of Hearts

Christmas dredges up a lot of different feelings for me and I have to say I am relieved. For a very long time, I have not felt much regarding Jolene; people ask how I am doing and the answer is fine. I am not lying. I am. I have had this discussion often with my… Read More…

Jolene

Jolene

In the middle of the night, I heard the muffled sounds of my family getting ready and at 3 am, I heard the door slam with a note of finality. Jolene is leaving us again. She is strong, but anorexia was stronger this time. My parents are boarding another plane to take her back to the… Read More…

Nearing the end

May23

Nearing the end

My time in England is drawing to a close. This was my last weekend here and I didn’t even take my camera with me. But let’s just say I got the full Newcastle experience. Complete with cheese chips. I couldn’t find a proper picture, but I am sure you could find one on this website somewhere. Needless… Read More…
