2025 in Review

 


2025 was pretty good to me, overall. I managed to accomplish the vast majority of goals I had set for myself back in July, with the exception of a couple little things.

Early in the year I got my contract at work extended, becoming a full-on Communications professional.

In March I went to Our Lady Peace's Ottawa stop on their OLP30 tour, with Collective Soul opening!!

In the Spring, I finally found a place, just around the corner, where I've been able to get help with foot care. I've also learnt that they'll cut finger nails as well. And on top of that, I've found some assistance with ironing for when I need it (another thing I've been looking into for a long while)!

The end of May, I turned 40. Weird at first, but it's been pretty good so far. 

One week later, I went back to Toronto for TCAF, my first solo trip in seven whole years! 


I had been nervous before booking it months before, but I did some extensive research, and the venue, hotel, and eateries were all literally right next to each other, so that made things a lot more accessible and fun.

Summer was filled with work, a tiny staycation, many trips to the movie theatre and book store, and moving rooms. 

Autumn was very eventful, mixed with joy and sorrow. Unfortunately, my Nanny Perkins passed away on Thanksgiving after many years living with Alzheimer's. 


On the positive side, I did quite a lot! Along with time at the cabin, reading days downtown, and checking out a couple new, delicious burger joints, I attended a talk with the creator of The Raccoons, met astronaut Chris Hadfield during the Ottawa International Writers Fest, and took part in a professional Communications event. 



Christmas was pretty chill, with family time, nice presents, and plenty of chocolate.

A few big plans for 2026 being ironed out.

Happy New Year!

Cheers
