As I was sitting here typing this the building’s air conditioning kicked in, so hallelujah I will be able to sleep in comfort tonight. It was a hot few days that I thought was going to continue until at least Monday or Tuesday.

I know I bitch about the heat a lot but jeez, I’d love to live in a temperate city. 18°C is my ideal, so I’m not really sure where that would be but if I had the means and the ability I’d move in a heartbeat.

My husband texted me today and asked if I would go down to the front desk to pick up his zombie that arrived in the mail. I was like, “zombie? Huh?” I had no idea what he was talking about but I went and grabbed it. The thing was wrapped up in a way that made it look like a frozen turkey so my curiosity was piqued.

I left it on the counter for him to open when he got home from work and he just walked in the door about half an hour ago so it was a long wait to what the hell this thing was.

If you don’t follow me on Instagram then you missed that I got my new sunglasses yesterday. They arrived really fast from Revolve which is awesome because packages from the US tend to take forever.

I don’t have a full face shot because I hate doing face close-ups, but they fit well. And that is coming from someone who is a picky sunglasses person.

If I find a pair I love I tend to keep and use them for many, many years,

I am sitting here by the window listening to the wind howl and the balcony door vibrate because it has been windy as hell today. Everything is much more intense on this side of the building.

The difference between the two sides is so bizarre.

Our new place is starting to look put together now. Tom got sick of all the boxes lying around so he started hanging up our pictures and emptying the miscellaneous crap we had.

Our walls and shelves are organized chaos now which I’m sure is overwhelming to a lot of people but works well for us.

The other apartment still needs a lot of work and it’s hard since everything is still closed.

We can’t just run down to the hardware store to pick something up. We also can’t just drive down to any of our donation centres to drop off the piles of stuff we have sitting up there ready to donate.

It’s frustrating. I’m not really sure what we are going to do with the stuff.

Our premier admitted that they made a mistake shutting things down so many times, but here we are still locked down.

It’s exhausting.

I did something this week. I’ll consider it my early birthday present to myself. I visit the local secondhand/consignment online designer retailers pretty much every day to see what new stock they have.

Everything comes and goes so quickly that you have to be on the ball.

I fell off the ball a while back and missed when they had an almost brand new pair of Prada loafers in my size and was disappointed.
