Dizzy

I’m having trouble staying awake, so I’m throwing in the towel and heading to bed. Meanwhile, I leave you with a photo of Dizzy. Dizzy loves people food and licking faces. Then again, what dog doesn’t? Arf!

sad doggie

I have to work really early tomorrow morning, so I’m just posting an unseen pic from my Vancouver trip last month while I continue to bulldoze through my mountain of photo editing and then hit the sack.

Poor Darcy looks so sad and left out of all the fun. Sad doggie needs some attention, stat!

Xena's observation tower

In case you’re watching for Santa, Xena’s taken it upon herself to monitor the situation from my attic flat.

reptile show

Eeek! Not so much a fan of reptiles, I stayed my distance behind a lens photographing the variety of reactions and expressions of the little kids. Not your average Saturday morning, but it was very entertaining nonetheless… especially when the handler brought out the BURMESE PYTHON at the end!

how strong is that duct tape?

Beano (RIP) gets busted for drinking out of my mug!

Yesterday was so crappy I was in bed by 10pm so it would be over sooner. But a special mention: yesterday morning a neighbourhood coffee shop owner took pity on me while I was on the phone dealing with unpleasantries and made me the best Americano I have ever had in my life, along with a fantastic toasted bagel and cream cheese and an amazing muffin with goat cheese, walnuts, organic butter and his ‘secret ingredient’ — Tabasco sauce! It sounds bizarre but it was incredibly tasty.

Good food and beverages (and sympathetic coffee shop owners) make life better. Also, entertaining pets like Beano… I miss that little scoundrel very much!

I just finished shooting my last wedding of 2011 — it was the biggest I’ve ever photographed (500+ guests). I’m going to sleep for a hundred years now. More to come when I’ve regained consciousness.

dessert-fest

When I found out on Thursday night that Pennsylvania was out of the question for this weekend and I’d have to forfeit Helma’s home cooking, I shamelessly played the orphan card and got myself invited to dinner today to enjoy the company of others over food. Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays simply because it does not involve gifts, only people and food, two of the best things in life. It seemed rather sad to be only working and eating in the company of my cat this weekend. No offense, Xena, but we don’t eat the same food!

Xena, looking angelic

Now it’s midnight and I’m in a food coma from all of us completely overeating (we went overboard with the desserts!), but I feel much better about having to work through the rest of the weekend with the thought that at least I had one home-cooked dinner and it wasn’t alone. Most of time being alone doesn’t bother me, but for some reason Thanksgiving is one of those weekends when it does.

flea infestation!

Took Xena to the vet this morning as she was scratching herself constantly, and I found a lump on her neck/back on Monday night. We have a flea infestation. I blame Professor (who left September 10), although we’ll never know for sure. According to the vet, the lump is likely a benign cyst and will be aspirated later if necessary. First things first: zap fleas.

today's sunset

When the markets dip, so does the mood of the people on Bay Street. “Here, look out the window at the beautiful sunset.”

Still walking home when I can.
