Yesterday was a kick-ass day! In the morning I got out for an early breakfast meeting with two dear friends and in the afternoon Shannon and I made it out to the secondhand book store at the reference library. What a treat!

Shannon
It was soooooooooooooooooooo exciting to get out to the library book store with Jamie today! Got a big stack of awesome treasures and I am already looking forward to reading them, and coming back to the bookstore! I can't believe we've never been before! Can't wait to do a haul video and...plan the next trip to the store!

My plans with a friend got cancelled so I finished up the Etsy store to prep for the sale on Monday and baked a poppy seed loaf. We also just made it in time to see Run Lola Run at the late night showing after Reg got home from shooting.

The bright spot of the day was being in the spotlight with my dear friend Tanya. We had a great chat about The Imposter Complex and podcasting. It is always great fun to chat with Tanya and it was particularly so on her new podcast!

It was awesome to hear Jamie & Tanya chat all about podcasting and share their wisdom on the medium as well as staying true to the self, and staying on course. Fun times!

I had very little energy today but did manage to get to the pottery studio to help with a big clean up. I came home and rested but then discovered that this photograph was chosen to be in the Flickr group "in explore" which only accepts photos that they request to be part of the group. Last time this helped my hits in a huge way with my waffled tuna melt. Other than that, a very uneventful day. I needed the rest.

After a long hiatus, Tanya and I were back to co-working yesterday and it was awesome. So much feels like it is changing for me and it is great to have some friend time to talk things through! I was also going to have some awesome sister time with Suzie yesterday but unfortunately started feeling really rotten in the afternoon :( I hope we can get something on the calendar soon, Suzie!

Shannon
Had a day of a little-bit-of-evertyhing, including cleaning my desk where I found these little watercolour abstracts sitting in a pile. I think they are much bettwer suited to being on display.

I started off feeling pretty OK and even did an at-home workout but then as I started writing my Feast cookbook review I started to feel kind of crummy and not just because I ended up being totally disappointed in the book. I think I have been too busy and it has been too hot and smoky. Pushed myself too far and now I don't want to do anything. Ugh.

Weather: 1 , Shannon: 0. It's rare that I don't check the weather before heading out, but it's been so nice lately I didn't bother. And I totally got stuck in the rain! Huge downpour this afternoon and I got caught in it, but thankfully I was able to seek reprieve under business tower awnings for the worst of it, and hopped from awning to awning until finally braved the open air and getting into the subway. What a day.

Spent a lot of the day resting but when I had some energy I worked on my Etsy store. Almost ready for the launch. We also had a weird day here. I woke up not being able to hear out of my right ear very well and then the smoke from fires from the U.S. totally encased Vancouver. It even got super dark because it was so thick. Was a good day to stay inside and rest.

We had a bit of a rough weekend but yesterday was a bit better and quite gentle. We spent most of it doing some chores and also working on our project to get more of our art framed and put up. We measured everything and got that into a document on our phones so that we can pick up anything whenever we get the chance. It was interesting to see how much we have. I'm going to have to get some art with guys in it. Most things I referred to as Girl with Feather, Girl with Horse, Girl by the Ocean, LOL.

Shannon
Even though today was a holiday, it was actually a pretty regular Monday for me. Which is cool...I actually like Mondays. One thing I do on Mondays is: PLAN! Shocking, I know. This was me planning my reading for the week, I have been in the middle of tons of books recently but have made lots of progress on FINISHING stuff which makes it feel easier to start new books...like Jason's! I hope to start it sometime this week.

Went to the PNE on Labour Day which I think was also the hottest day of the year. When Reg complains about the heat, you know it's bad. Still, I am glad we managed to fit it in and look at that couple holding hands on the swing ride! I had no idea that was happening when I took this photo. So cute. It was awesome but rest day ahead. OMG... So tired and hot!

I have a fun time stopping by next door chatting with folks, enjoying BBQ (on an open fire pit!) and even roasting marshmellow -- which is what this picture is trying to capture!

Suzie

Was so exciting getting to go to weirdo place Harrison Hot Springs where Sasquatch lives. Didn't have time to go hiking but we walked along the beach and had ice cream. Most epic drive out there. Long but totally worth it until Sasquatch ran us out of town!!!

It's hard to believe it's September! But with it being September, I realized it was time to do my seasonal TV Grids to figure out what I want to watch this season! I wonder if I will jump ship on series (either on new ones or off old ones) depending on when they air. At least this year there is a 4-way conflict Wednesday at 8pm. And yes, I still remember things like that lol!

Got so little sleep the night before it wasn't safe to do much exercise so I just walked over to the clinic for a walk-in-x-ray... I couldn't believe it. I was out my door and back in 20 minutes. I'm going to miss the convenience of this neighbourhood so much. Rest of the day was mostly a write-off. I did some photo editing and got my official foodie bucket Pad Thai post done. I guess that's something.
