As we round the corner on October, we can be pleased to know that I wrote a silly little blog post almost every day for the entire month. Or like, at least roughly two thirds of the time. Whatever! I’ve enjoyed it a lot of the time and it’s only felt like a chore some of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve written a couple goofy little stories and I’ve felt very inspired. Much more inspired that I’ve felt in a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve spent a lot of time with headaches this month. What’s up with that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have listened to the new Taylor Swift album and I will take great reputational risk right now by saying, for the world to see, that I did in fact like it. The Fate of Ophelia is particularly catchy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent the majority of October on strike. We’re just back at work this week actually. We haven’t ratified a new agreement yet, but I’m expecting that it will pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where am I going with this, you’re probably asking yourself. I’ll let you know when I know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been vaccinated against COVID and <\/em>the flu! Can you believe that while this is free in British Columbia, in Alberta not only do you have to pay for it, but they also make you sign a waiver? And they don’t even have enough for everyone! Crazy what’s happening in that province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to a beautiful wedding, watching one of my oldest friends getting married. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spoke French with a fellow BCGEU member on the picket line. It was choppy and rough, but I did my best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have made and subsequently eaten a ton of salad rolls. I’m getting really good at it actually. I make them with tofu and avocado, and I shave off thin pieces of carrot and cucumber with the peeler. I start by layering the carrot and cucumber down, and then I add some lettuce and vermicelli, and then roll it up with the tofu and avocado getting snuggly tucked in last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couple tricks: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
