Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Dear Internets, I am tired. TIRED. This whole “having a life thing,” well I just don’t know how people do it. I get up early in the mornings, earlier than I need to for work, because it’s the only time of day I have left to do things like laundry, and empty the dishwasher, and … Continue reading Her Royal Highness
A few friends have tried to set me up with other single people they know, because there’s nothing people in monogamous relationships like to do more than live vicariously through meddling in the lives of their single friends.
