By Lucy I’ve been working on a longer post for my workweek. I don’t want to devote too many posts to scaffolding, but I did want to do something sort of in-depth while I’m waist-deep in it. I’ve been weighing up different things to include, so here’s a small update. I didn’t do much during…

By Lucy I feel like I complain about this every other post, but I’m annoyed anew about how much I’m having to stay put. I had two people who I do travel cards with texted me and asked about the job in Dryden, because I’m local and more likely to know something. I know nothing…

By Lucy When I got to the kitchen on Friday, Wayne informed me that more kitchen knives had been purchased because of me. Verbatim, he said “you have improved the knife situation”, which is made me chuckle because I didn’t even complain about the knives! I merely noted that one of the international students had…

By Lucy How broke is too broke? The temperature plummeted on the weekend and I am starting to think that the starter on my car is dying. I’ve replaced the battery already, so it’s either that or the alternator. It’s been chugging whenever I start it up, and I don’t know if the Chrysler dealership…

By Lucy I went into the kitchen before dawn on Wednesday and did a double-take. There was a man I had never seen before sitting there having coffee, but also he looked a lot like a co-worker who used to tease me mercilessly last summer, to the point that I thought it was him until…

By Lucy Does anyone else live here? I’m unsure how soundproof the doors are, but there’s rarely any sounds drifting into the hallway from the other rooms. Occasionally I hear the outside door open and close. I was unhappy with being the room next to the exterior door, lest someone make a bunch of noise…

By Lucy I woke up at 5AM, still not adjusted to the time zone change I suppose. I tossed and turned a bit, feeling exhausted and wishing to go back to sleep, before giving up and heading downstairs so I didn’t disturb anyone else. My right hand had 2 bruises from gripping the wheel so…

By Lucy Days in England: 28 Alternative title: Travelling 7075 kilometers in two days. Tuesday dawn bright and early… too early. I was up by 5 AM, anxiety preventing me from sleeping well. I laid in bed for an hour before throwing in the towel and making myself breakfast. I had mostly packed the night…
