what i've been doing

the Ballast book bag by Book/Shop

i spent four weeks looking for an apartment. 

it rained and rained. our laneway turned into a river.

we're moving in nine days.

i'm going to see this man in two weeks.



aside from that, i've been keeping to myself these days. i've been finding it slow-going climbing out of this well i'm in.

Good luck with the move. I sure hope the weather cooperates.

Keep on climbing! :)

Yes, lots of luck! You can do it! It's been terrible weather here too but I sense a break soon.

I love that bag - it's right up there with a Rennes tote for a list of wants. Also, between your posts and comments on my blog, I feel we need to get together and commiserate about how grad school has actually devoid us of a proper job and any sense of sanity.

Where are you moving to? Remaining in Toronto?

Still in Toronto, just around the corner and up a block...

Waking up to a humidity free morning was like being on vacation. It's amazing how it feels like 'work' to get around the city when it's so hot and humid.

I am so in love with that Book/Shop bag. And yes, grad school and a loss of sanity! I overhear dissertationing at the cafes and want to tell them to get out while they still can!

Sorry about the well...just remember all wells have a top.

Love the music, how could I not have heard of him before? Oh that's right, I live in little, far-removed New Zealand.

Enjoy the concert, it will be nice to be swept away for an hour or two xx

good luck with the climb, erica. good to hear a bit of an update from you that is real, and not pretending that life is always easy. i often regret not going to grad school, actually. it's still on my list of possibilities in the future. we'll see.

Glad to hear you found a place! Sorry it has been such a slog, though.

Read a great NYTimes article about him a few weeks back and meant to make a Spotify playlist but got distracted by the Amanda Shires album they mentioned- really good. Will have to give him a listen.
