What a fantastic first day on the Rideau Canal ⛸️💕

Everyone we spoke to was so happy to be back on the ice. The phrase we heard most: "this feels like Ottawa again"

We also found a cool spot to view exactly how thick the ice is!

good evening, Ottawa 🌆

Now, the cons.

🚆Does not arrive frequently enough. Every 12 min means there is a high chance of commuters missing not one, but two connecting trains, risking a late arrival to work.

🚆⌚door➡️door is about the same as my old route: a bus east
to Hurdman THEN a train back west. That's problematic.

Let's start with the pros of the trip (because I'm a "good news first" kinda person):

🚆Train was smoother than Line 1 in the actual ride and overall usability.
🚆Signage was clear.
🚆There were no delays.

First, some context:

I live near Bank and Walkley. My office is at Bank and Slater.

Normally, it would take me 45 minutes door to door.

I took the newly renovated OC Transpo Line 2 train for one of its first rides this morning.

Here is now my commute to work went 🧵

Finally got our Ketubah hung up 💕

A Ketubah is a Jewish marriage contract.

Ours is a more egalitarian one, speaking about love and companionship that we find in one another.

This house is definitely starting to feel like a home.

Every family gathering - whether you get along well with your family or not - can be exhausting.

That is why boundaries are so important.

My husband and I are busy doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the holidays, and we are so excited about it.

Give yourself the time.

More dogs = more happiness

It's just science.

Three guesses as to which dog is more of a troublemaker

This has been....a year.

A year of:
Learning
New/old friends
Boundaries
Being more aware of my mind & body
Figuring out when to rest - and realizing that a little late

I don't have resolutions because I won't keep them.

But, for the first time, I can say I'm truly happy to be here.

Can't wait to see an increase in my monthly transit cost - which will now be the third most expensive in Canada - for the same subpar service.

Happy 2025 everyone.

Fancy restaurant? No.

Husband who can make you Ossobuco? Yes.

Not everything you see on social media is real.

That goes for:
News articles
Photos
Stories

Comparison to something that's not real will only harm your mental health in the long run.

Now, resume scrolling - and really think about what you're seeing.

It's past my bedtime, and this Canadian gal is about to stay up much longer.

It's the final show of the Eras Tour, and I can't miss watching it live.

This tour will go down in history as life-changing for fans, for economies, for women, for the world.

Long live the Eras Tour❣️

Disney Princess Mode: on 🐦

It's been a hectic few weeks, with very little time to appreciate who and what is around me.

Last time I lost sight of those things, I fell into a dark place.

The upcoming holiday is an opportunity to reset and start living instead of just existing.

First day of snow in Ottawa that stuck to the ground.

Train isn't running. Shocking.

So.
Very.
Shocking.

There is something so cathartic about singing, screaming, and dancing with 50,000 other people who are all there for the same reason.

What a show.

I can't believe the time has finally come to see Taylor Swift live for the first time, after being a fan for 17 years.
