TWO THINGS TODAY

First: Nate’s surgery went well! He and his mom got back around 5 or so this evening and he’s doing a lot better than either of the previous two surgeries already.

Second: I got an email from IRCC Canada giving me a notice to take my citizenship oath! It will be over Zoom on Thursday, November 30.

That’s wild. I’ll be an official Canadian citizen in a few weeks!

THREE THINGS TODAY

First: I did my longest run ever this morning: 27.2 miles. I also did my fastest marathon time of 4:15. That’s still really slow, but it’s fast for me.

Second: Nate’s mom came up to take him to Canmore for his surgery. They should be back tomorrow afternoon. I hope everything goes well!

Third: I made layer cookies!

The end.

Rex!

HEYOOOOOOO so today is our 6th wedding anniversary!

That’s pretty wild. Sometimes it seems like we’ve been married for much longer than that; sometimes it seems like it’s been much shorter. It’s a bummer that we can’t go do our “regular” anniversary thing (getting Denny’s and staying at Best Western overnight), but I guess this is the third year we haven’t been able to do that, so I guess it’s 50/50 and no longer our “usual” thing.

But whatevs, we can do other things! Like play Jeopardy! and Pictionary. Observe:

(Nate’s Pictionary phrase was “drinking fountain” but of course I had to make it dramatic after I’d guessed it.)

In fact, Pictionary led me to a great idea for a terrible movie. It’d be called “Tutankhamun Rex” and it would be about an anthropologist who discovers a mummified T-Rex skeleton that is then found to be a pharaoh. Who also has guns for arms.

Something would happen to the mummy (it’d get struck by lightning?) and the Rex Pharaoh would come back to life. His catchphrase would be “Tuten’s commin’!” which he would yell before firing off his arm guns.

(It’d be directed by Michael Bay.)

I suspect it would win all the Oscars.

5 Years

Ayyyyyo, so today Nate and I are celebrating our 5-year anniversary.

It’d be super nice if we could do our usual anniversary routine (Denny’s, overnight stay at Best Western watching the Food Network and playing Jeopardy!) since we got cheated out of it last year, but whatev.

We’re together and that’s all that matters!

(But we love the Food Network, haha.)

Went on a nice walk with Nate this morning. We found a restaurant that was open downtown and hung out there for a little bit. ‘Twas nice.

Then we went home and I GOT MY MIND BLOWN BY LISTENING TO THE LAUNCH WITH THESE SENNHEISERS.

Oh my god, it’s so good. So good. This headphone amp has a bass boost option and you can be damn sure I’m never going to turn that thing off.
