Hi Everyone, I haven't done a recap in a long time. It has gotten out of hand now and, frankly, a little intimidating. I am going to try to recap the last few months with some of the highlights, and I just hope it isn't too long.
August:
August was a lot of schoolwork. My semester was wrapping up, and I had a huge group project to do that involved a lot of work. It was terrible because group projects should not exist for online college. It is terrible. Anyway, that took up a ton of my time, as did swimming and family get-togethers (also involving pools).
We attended Scarborough Rib Fest. It was tasty, and we always loved to go.
I also needed a new computer, mine was from 2011, so I got a Mac Mini. One big bonus of being a student is the Apple student discount. I hate that my version didn't have any front ports or an SD slot (I know, they aren't a thing anymore), so I got this base for it that looks great. It also has a slot for an SSD if I want to add one.
September:
September brought my birthday, a new school semester, and one last pool get-together.
My aunt and I went to Stratford to see four plays. We always have a great time, and I really enjoyed it there.
The hubs and I also did some eating along Yonge St. in North York, there was a food fest.
October brought my mother-in-law from the Yukon for a visit. She stayed with my sister-in-law for a bit and then with us. We drove out to visit a few times while she was with the SIN and even took her to Hamilton to buy Quilting supplies and a dinner at Victoria's Steak and Seafood.
We all got a prefix, and I have to say, as someone who doesn't like steak, it was really good.
Since I was in school on my own schedule, I decided to take her around town while she was with us. One thing she wanted to see was the Quilts Made in Canada exhibit at the ROM. She had a great time and learned a lot about the history of quilts in Canada.
I attended a Drunkin Cinema at the Revue Theatre with my friend Melissa. They were showing Scream 2 and Scream 6, the sequels. We have now gone 6 times and seen all the movies in the franchise. I really loved seeing Scream 2 the first time there. It was a real meta moment with the opening scene, this time, it just wasn't as lively, but we had a great time.
I wish there was some more excitement going on, I mean, we had a gas leak. It was resolved in a few hours. Bradley got a Boo Basket, his nickname is Boo.
OH, I started to drive. I have been trying to actually learn to drive for about 7 years now. It has been slow and awkward. While my mother-in-law was here, I took the car to drive us places. I then just started taking it whenever driving the hubs to and from work on those days. It has been great; my confidence is high, and I really enjoy the freedom I now have.
Here are some random pet pics of Sterling and Bradley to round out the post. I hope you all have had a wonderful last few months.
