…a job.
See, Hubby lost his three weeks ago, which means, no money, and since this sty-at-home-Mom thing doesn’t pay as much(money) as we need, I need to get a job-oh, he does too, but is being a student for now….oh, I feel a panic attack coming…..

Short of a bailout for my industry – I suppose it will be a new job that I’ll be needing before long…

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. 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.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
