Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Valentine’s Day is coming up. I’ve never been single going into it before (I was dumped V-Day afternoon once, but we don’t talk about that). Unless I run into the love of my life within the next 11 days, I’m pretty sure I’ll still be single when it rolls around. I’m not quite sure what … Continue reading Decision Time
Remind me to NEVER do that again. I went out with the work crew on Friday night (it is now Sunday morning) starting at about 4:00pm. Four bars and many, MANY drinks later, I landed in my bed at about 2:30am. I thought I was just hungover, but I got to contend with a migraine … Continue reading Speak vewwy vewwy softly!

I figured this out when I looked at my (still slightly swolen) tongue in the mirror this morning and it looks … Continue reading Hypochondriac
After a lovely day spent in excruciating pain on my couch, I am actually glad I’m well enough to be at work today. I’m not exactly sure what the bizarro illness I had was, but here’s a rundown of the symptoms: -very slight fever (ran between 37.2 and 38C) -paralysing body aches -extreme vertigo upon … Continue reading Back in the Saddle
