October Photo Challenge

Since October is my absolutely favourite month, I decided to try out one of those photo challenge things I always see people do.  I am 5 days behind but I will catch up today.

Fresh Meat

 

Since leaving school and deciding to stay at home with Lyric, I have felt like the ‘grown-up’ part of me was missing.  I love spending time with my daughter but I crave adult interaction.  Enter roller derby.  Tonight is my first ‘fresh meat’ practice with The Harbour City Rollers.  I will go through training twice a week through October and November.  I don’t know how to skate yet but I am determined!  Here goes nothing….

It’s Been a While…

And by a while, I mean over a year and a half.  It has been a year of ups and downs but mostly downs.  In this time, two major things happened: I went back to school in January to study horticulture which I loved.  On the night of April 7 (early April 8) my dad suffered a stroke, which led us to discover the cancer which had spread through his body.  My Dad left this world on Sunday, July 14.  I quit school and am currently staying at home with my kid.  I am not the same person I was before and for some reason I want to document the person I am becoming.  So that’s it, I am back.
