I've been crap at posting here. I've had a lot going on inside my head.

A friend was driving to Montreal for the Labour Day weekend and he offered to drag me along. It was really good. I got to hang out with people I don't see enough of, we drank, we listened to music, I laughed a ton. I got a bit peopled out by the end because I've gotten so much out of the habit of leaving the house ever, but it was a break and it pulled me out of the rut I was in.

The weekend after that BC drove up to Tobermory. That was even better - lots of walking by the water, cool breezes, lovely scenery and long stretches of time where we were just hanging out and chilling.

Then a couple of days ago a friend took me to a concert and it was loud and sweaty and awesome and a massive endorphin rush.

So you know, the trifecta of mental health boosters.

Still here. Still plodding onward.

That sounds . . . extremely functional!

I didn't know there was a Tobermory in Canada. Cute! I love finding places that were clearly named after towns settlers left behind.

Oh yeah. Ontario is full of place names from Western Europe. We have towns called London, Paris, Stratford, and prior to WWII the town of Kitchener was called New Berlin. I grew up in a suburb of Toronto named Scarborough.

... and in the neighbourhood of Scarborough there are a Pickering and a Whitby, which I was amused to discover are also in the neighbourhood of Scarborough, England.
