blue_lotus13I made a very good choice when picking my apartment. The amount of natural light that comes in my main room is lovely. It really makes a HUGE difference in the winter. When I move, I'm definitely going to have to pick another place with big windows.
I've been busy this week, which definitely helps with the winter blahs. On Wednesday, I went to the launch for a cookbook. Two local artists and a local chef wrote a cookbook celebrating the products of local producers. You can see the cookbook here . The launch party was a blast! There were producers, hipsters, media types, artists and chefs in attendance. I missed most of the food (as I arrived late), but was still able to chat with a variety of lovely people, including people who were fans of Alberta Farmer , which pays me the money I need to eat.
On Thursday, I did a variety of things around the house, then went to a cool event called There's a heifer in your tank . This event is put on by Animal Science 200 students at the University of Alberta. They used to do skits, but now they made youtube videos answering questions about agriculture, like "why is ham pink while pork chops are white?" and "what is colostrum?"
It was a hilarious event, well attended by over 200 people. The students were incredibly enthusiastic and happy and I had a good time.
I finished revising a short story that I've been working on and did a bit of work on Friday before going over to my friend Caitlin's. I've been very social this week and I think it makes a difference in combatting the winter blahs. Fortunately, I don't have to travel anywhere for work until December 10, and I am over the moon about this. I've been working A LOT and need some downtime.
