Lady Lazarus

Well I'm back.
I was nearly dead (not really but you get the idea) from the flu over the last week, and then I had a 3000 word essay due on Friday, when I was barely better. So I am just now able to update.

Aren't I responsible?

Not much has been going on in my life, with the exception of being really sick. I'll spare you the details but there was a fever, no solid foods and lots of sleeping all day. Sounds idyllic, non? I did manage, once my migraine calmed down enough, to catch up on some episodes of Skins and Pushing Daisies, so that was cool.

Man, I have really been slacking on the gardening front. Here is my failure by numbers:

Seeds planted: 0

Planters started: 0

Calling Canada's weather "A stupid nun-cunt": Oh thousands.

The snow has been falling here pretty steadily, though yesterday and today we actually had really good weather and now everything is melting so the dog poop is starting to sprout out of the ground like some sort of disgusting, smelly flower. Toronto was only 17 cm away from the record of 207 cm. of snow set in 1939. I know, it doesn't seem like that much: "2 Meters!" I hear you scream "We get two meters in July here!" I'm sure that in whatever snowy region you are in, it is much, much worse. This doesn't mean I can't complain. What all this snow, and flu, and school work means, however, is that I have been slacking such a huge amount. My room is a MESS. My dog took it into her head to rip up every single tissue that I used when I was sick, every one, and shred it into a mess. She never ate them, just destroyed them completely. So there is a layer of disgusting tissues all over the floor of my room. I swear it has migratory patterns, as I will wake up and it will be by my bed, and then when I come home, it will have moved over to the closet. I should probably get to cleaning it, but I just tidied up around the house so I am chilling out.

Woah. I got WAY off topic.

Anyway, I will write a more substantial post later on. Right now just an update.

Cheerio.
