One-thousand-eight-hundred-ninety-four. It took us 1894 kilometres to get from Toronto to the Manitoba boarder. That’s over half of our trip spent in our home province. A road trip is the best way to appreciate the vastness of the Canadian landscape. The undulating hills of the Canadian Shield are ironed flat on the prairies, which are…

I don’t know what it is about hotel rooms that I find aesthetically interesting. Anyway, here’s one for tonight. It’s was a long day of driving. Every day lately seems like a long day full of activity. It’s better to be busy than to be bored, I suppose, but a little bit of general quiet…

We delivered the boxes today and they were well received. We spent the rest of the day getting ready for our vacation. It’s been a busy day.

After a few hours at the shop today, I felt tired. I just wanted to pack up and head home. Of course, I texted Hannah to tell her that I was on my way, and then started sanding for another hour. It’s amazing how many problems you can see when you’re close to something. I…

I haven’t quite settled into summer yet, I don’t think. I haven’t really stopped and just done nothing. I must’ve been really anxious about getting things done this summer at the end of the school year. Hopefully, I’ll slow right down in the next week or so.

My newest goal is to create an Instagram Reel every time I go to the shop. Today, I’m gluing up a box.

It felt like I made some progress with the boxes today. I must’ve started working on them about a month ago and it’s been uphill since. Today, though, things seemed to fit together real nice. Tomorrow, I have to continue working on the boxes. There’s still a fair bit to do before they’re done but…

Is it just me or is it more difficult to find something worth watching these days? My patience for movies and TV shows is limited. I’ve turned off a movie before the opening credits were over. I should read more. There are more than enough books out there. I started reading Knife by Salman Rushdie…

Bring a sports fan confuses me. Today, Lewis Hamilton won a race for the first time in 945 days. I was happy about it, felt victorious, even. Why? I’ve always been tangentially interested in car racing, but it’s only been a few years since I’ve actually invested myself in following F1. I’m really into it.…
