So I’m stuffing a chicken and finishing an article. (No, not at the same time. Not reeeeeallly. But pretty much. Ok. Yes. Yes I am!)
I’d much rather be doing something like this.
I’ve had a lingering cold for the past month and it’s starting to get me down. Gah. I’d love to hear something positive. Some good news! Got any to share? :)

Well, I’ve just given a university student her first real co-op job, which is kind of fun, and although nobody will care about this but me, I’m happy that all the creatures in my house – human and feline – are currently sleeping through the night. So, I’m sane – that’s got to be good news!

I’m graduating this weekend, and I got a call back for a second job interview. And, I’m on track in my training to run a sub-2:15 half marathon.
I’m apparently a bucket of good news. Sometimes I need to remember that. (Thanks!)

Just had a nice evening with a new family we’ve recently met because our daughters are in the same program together at our community centre. We met up at McDonald’s (so classy, I know!) for dinner and so the two girls could play together at the PlayPlace after eating while the parents and the one year olds visited together. It was a nice time, and I’m hoping a new friendship grows from it for our girls — and maybe the parents too!

The world may be going to hell in a hand basket, but on a personal level I feel like I am more at peace with myself, more mature, and better able to be the person I want to be than I was 20 years ago.

I have an exciting new focus for my life now that the littlest one is in kindergarten – I have started a wee little business of my own. Announcement coming soon. And also, sold my first ever magazine article, to be published in December. Yee haw!
Hope your cold is better soon.

Thanks all for your good news. Feels good to share, doesn’t it.
Hmm. We should do this more often. :)
Lynn, I want to hear more about your magazine article! :)
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
