Bits and Bites

I have moved back to Hamilton
Beginning of May
Previous tenants had not moved out or cleaned out my room
They are digusting
Adrian helped me sweep up balls and balls of cat hair.
I continued to clean the rest of the house... Found a dead, flattened mouse under the couch, ew.....
Once it is a clean, it is a lovely old house from the 1880s. New housemates are nice, all is well.

Mini vacation to the States
Cousin getting married in Delaware, drive to NJ first to stop at their house and spend the night. I have the flu and I cannot eat anything.
Anything I eat stays in my tummy like a rock for hours upon hours... Needless to say, nothing properly passed through. Wedding lovely, at a fancy hotel called hotel Dupont, the same Dupont as the chemical company, ew.
Mini excursion to NYC. Still sick, not eating, weak and tired, grrrrr.
Bus to NYC, walk to 30th and 8th avenue where our hostel was situated. I did not realize the gravity of our situation until we tried sleeping there that night. Very small, seemed clean but who really knows and the bunk bed kept tangling my hair!!!!! (the metal frame)
We did some fun stuff like a gallery or two, central park, The Staten Island Ferry and walking through Greenich Village but all in all, I wasn't loving the trop, I guess being sick and all an was looking forward to going home.

Home!!!!!!
And Adrian and I are celebrating our one year anniversary. As I enter my room for the first time since being away I find a bouqet of pink Gerbera daisies on my bed. Part two, Adrian takes me to build a bear where we each build a cute teddybear. Part 3, Adrian takes me to the Rex in Toronto which was amazing, cozy, good food and home made desserts while listening to great Brazilian jazz.
Went to friends wedding, super fun, open bar, nice speeches.
Head to Ophelia Syndrome's gig. Packed bar, they were encored. They are gonna be famous, I love all of their songs, everyone has to see them next time they play, you will get hooked.
