For now, at least! I am proud to say I handed in all my term papers on time, and respected the page limit. It’ll be nice to take a little break for schoolwork and spend more time the kitchen, on the bike (provided precipation remains at a minimum), and like, actually going out once in […]

Days like this are the best. Thank you mother nature for sunshine and autumn foliage. This morning was kind of annoying (sad fish face!). BUT there’s nothing like some intense dishwashing at Harvest Noon (I’m not kidding, washing dishes is very soothing for me, plus the people there are awesome!), a nice bike ride, park […]
Well, my surprisingly good summer in Ottawa has come to a close. Wah. I’m really going to miss the EnviroCentre peeps, my alarmingly bright pink and red room, the parks and beaches, and those amazing river pathways. After my last full day of work, we went over to one of my coworkers’ houses in Aylmer […]
I was hoping to go for a little vacay before I dive back into school, but that will have to be put off for a while due to lack of funds! Never mind though, as the good old National Capital Region is actually a great spot for a staycation. Started off with coffee at I […]
I had one of the best Ottawa-area bike rides yet yesterday – it was GORGEY outside, I had tons of energy, and ended up at a pretty swell beach in Aylmer. I took it at a fairly leisurely pace since it was 30+ degrees out and covered about 44km. Pas mal, pal! It was […]
Guhhhh why must it be 30+ degrees and humid like soup every time I want to go for a longer bike ride? Ah well, at least I didn’t encounter crashing rain like I did last Sunday. I did 40km exactly and despite feeling kind of lethargic and dehydrated towards the end, it was a good […]
Today has been a most unproductive Saturday, but I guess sometimes that’s bound to happen after a tiring work week. I’ve been feeling very lethargic due to the heat and think I just needed a rest day. Don’t worry, I’ll be back out covering the kms on my bike tomorrow Cannot believe I spent almost […]
I pedalled my heart out yesterday and did a nice 48km ride to Aylmer and back, with a few small detours. Okay, so it’s not exactly rugged Canadian shield territory here but the bike trail along the Ottawa River did feel rather nicely removed from urban living! This is near the Deschênes rapids, I believe: Blue […]
Ha-hah! I am already feeling decidedly less “slumpy” after a day full of work (including running errands by bike – my favourite), an afternoon bike ride to the Experimental Farm, eating dinner by the canal, playing keyboard, and making banana bread. See, it’s not so hard. I stopped here for a minute on my way back from […]
(Compound word inspired by listening to Purity Ring.) I just realized I’m about halfway done my contract in Ottawa and I have been leading a decidedly dull existence up until this point (with a few fun weekends here and there). Time to get a move on. At the very least, I’d like to: 1. Explore […]
