I know I’ve posted pictures of this building before, but LOOK how awesome it is:

Holy shit, I’m turning into my mom.

I’m at Jeanie’s. We are about to thrift. I have smelly armpits.

In good news,

I think I beat swine flu. My sister had it and I have been staying with her. I started a heavy dose of homeopathics and my symptoms are going away without really hitting. I’ve also been taking garlic pills a few times a day and oil of oregano.

I’ve been taking the homeocan Influenzium with the Thymo as a flu-shot type preventative as well as Baptisa whenever symptoms flare up (which was like 7 times the other day).

I still feel a bit off, but confident that I will be back to regular health tomorrow.
I didn’t have bright orange phlegm today! woo!

what are you doing as a preventative?
There are always safer and as effective ways to prevent illness than being vaccinated! do your research!

When I build my cob home…

I am definitely going to have one of these nooks.

At my sister’s house there are three animals that do not regularly live with one another here. The cats like the dog and the dog likes the cats, but my sister’s cat hates my cat. I think Morrissey’s feelings are hurt because he is eating extra (including the dog’s Cowboy Stew) and then eating all of the other cat’s food. Anyways, I’m being pretty boring here in Red Deer. Wednesday I head to Edmonton to hang out with old peeps and to see my favourite band play again. Well that’s if I ever get my car back from the shop, SO many complications just getting winter tires…

My sister lives in a hamlet* just outside of Red Deer. It was once an army base which they have revamped into somewhat of a gated community. However, there are all these old buildings left (a dozen or so). These would be awesome to urban explore and most of them are not in use anymore.




* a hamlet to Alberta standards. A hamlet in Saskatchewan is like 50 people or less. This would be considered a lively town in the Skatch.

you’re not a gold filling

It was snowing for the first hour of my trip. I had to go about 60 km/h because of the ice. After that, it was lovely. The fields were so yellow and the birds were still migrating south. If you have never been to the prairies this is what it looks like:
(well first I will show you a demonstration on how sketchy the roads can be)
