My Achille’s Heel
The other day was my day off so I decided to head out on an adventure, to check out a new Indian Grocery (Gopu Grocery on Daniel Webster Hwy) that opened up as well as walk around the mall, as I haven’t done so in about a year. I was a little disappointed they didn’t have any Asian grocery items as advertised but they did have a great selection and I got a bag of rice and a few things to try. I really wish instead of heading next door at Shanghai Osaka, I had just eaten at the mall. I would have saved money and hassle. The service was horrible and despite me repeatedly stating I had an allergy to tomatoes after finding them in my egg drop soup (who puts tomatoes in egg drop soup anyway), they gave me a new cup with again bits of tomato in that also adding to the fact that I was never really assisted yet the couple at the other table (the only other customers) were greeted repeatedly. I had to get up and call the waiter multiple times and even after informing them of the issue the second time no offer for a replacement was made, ya I’m not going back there again. I then headed to the mall 20 pounds heavier, as I already had my backpack full and now had a ten pound bag of rice. Target of course had a tone of Hello Kitty stuff and I couldn’t resist. I was sad though when I found out the Sanrio store had closed in my absence. I decided since I had to stop downtown anyway to go to Lucky Dog Thrift shop to take pictures of their signage so that I can work on my freelance designs for them and of course found more stuff (I don’t think I ever leave without getting something).
Saying Goodbye and Hello
Yesterday was my last day at the job I have worked at for a little over five years So many faces have come and gone and It was bittersweet leaving. I love the company but It wasn’t my passion and I don’t want to just work I want to do something I’m passionate about. I am now headed in the right direction as I head to my new job at a copy print center. I will miss everyone at the job I left but I promised to pop in once in a while and most have me on social media. I much appreciated everything my supervisor Rose did for me from giving me rides home to just being a great person to work with, so I wiped up some crafty magic and made her a gift and I am happy she loved it.
Busy Busy Bees
The tree in our front yard has become a favorite of the local honey bees.
I’m Convinced I’m Jinxed
My Grandparents recently got back from Europe so my mom, my brother and me went over to chat about the trip. My Memere got me a mask and postcard from Venice and my brother got some euros. As usual I brought my camera but forgot the CF card so I used my Phone to take pictures. Despite the chill in the air my Pepere’s flowers in his front yard are still thriving. Because my camera was out of play I had a feeling I might get a chance to catch a glimpse of the wild turkeys that make their home in the woods behind their house. I always seem to have my camera die when I see them or not have it with me. I walked around the neighborhood then decided to go a bit into the scrub in the back of the house and with my phone’s battery dying what do I see, about a dozen turkeys within mere feet of me. I truly believe I am cursed to never get a photo of the damn things.
Oh Montréal Day 2
Day two of our trip involved more than random exploration, instead we had real destinations. We stopped at the Biodôme, the Montréal Tower Observatory, the Insectarium and the botanical gardens. Each destination was enlightening and I enjoyed the experience. I especially loved the gardens.
Enjoying the Springtime Sun

nothing makes me happier on a sunny spring day than riding my bike, taking photos and listening to some tunes.
