Aaaand I’m back after having been MIA for a whole month! Where did all the time go?
It’s been one heck of a whirlwind summer: I haven’t been home for more than two weeks at a time since our trip to Brazil back in June. September was a welcome break from the work travel and we spent it offline on a digital detox. Volunteering for the mayoral campaign in Toronto’s municipal election started to kick into high gear as well, taking up remaining free time through to October 27. More on that later.
In the midst of all the chaos, we decided our kitchen is due for some updating, especially since we’re going to stay in our condo for the foreseeable future. Along with that comes some news that will be divulged in due course. With a work trip scheduled again next week and a weeklong trip to pass my birthday will take us through until Christmas and the end of yet another year.
One good thing that has come from all this time away: the abundance of great content from some of my favorite bloggers, obviously much better focused. Here are a few good reads I found as I connected back with the land of the living.
