The most annoying part of working out at goodlife, doing their group weight training class bodypump, is when we get to the squats portion, and the instructor says that this will be the heaviest weight load we use. For me it’s not. My lower back issue mean that I need to use at best a […]

We went out for dinner tonight at Groovy’s Roti Hut in Vanier. Oh my god good! Very resonable prices (my roti dinner plate had me stuffed for $10), tasty tasty tasty tasty, nice service, and to top it all off, a very fun live jazz band. Unfortunately there wasn’t much dance space, but we found […]

There is an option to ignore people not on my friend list, which I […]

My knee hurts.
I mean….it REALLY hurt. I had trouble with the stairs at home this morning. I had trouble with the car clutch driving to work. I don’t understand why. I did nothing dramatic yesterday.
