My landlord puts the rent up every year. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this as it was only allowed to be raised by 2% because of a rent cap. Recently, the province raised the rent cap from 2% to 5% of the monthly rent....

I spent part of my evening yesterday in the park down by the lake. It's not far from my building. About a 10 minute walk. I go there for ice cream and just walk around the lake. I ran into this gaggle of Canada geese chilling by...

One of my cats has the strangest litterbox ritual. Most cats get the zoomies after they use the litterbox. Mine gets the zoomies before she uses it. She zooms around the apartment for about 4 minutes, meowing and yowling as if...

When I'm asleep nothing wakes me up. I sleep through thunderstorms, construction, when the property maintenance crew are mowing the grass right outside my window, during unit renovations...etc. It's scary what I can sleep through....

Well today is the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere, winter solstice in the Southern hemisphere. I live in the Northern hemisphere so I kind of have mixed feelings about the summer solstice. I love that daylight hours are...
