It's that time of year, leave all our hopelessnesses aside.

My Dearest Meagan,

After spending the past thirty minutes working my ass off (literally) on the treadmill, I’ve come to the conclusion that exercise equipment and television do not mix (especially when you are of a reactive personality like I am and have physical responses to what’s happening on TV).

My foot has still not recovered from the last treadmill related incident.

So what is new with me? Pretty much everything I guess considering you haven’t seen me in roughly 76 days. Does that number break your heart like it does mine? The Day Care is going great again, the tumultuous couple of weeks that ruined my psyche awhile back are completely done and over with. Also, on Wednesday I cut back my hours at North Mart (now 65 hours a cheque instead of 80). Basically I go home two hours earlier on week days so I can actually accomplish things like dishes and feeding Scrambles.

I’ve made beautiful friends. I’ve honestly gained a best friend up here and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t remember a time where I’ve got a long with a person so well (which is amazing considering we spend something like 13 straight hours a day with each other). Her name is Sheena, she’s 23 and just graduated from MUN this year with a degree in English. We don’t have the same tastes in ANYTHING and it completely works. I refuse to use the overworked cliché of “opposites attract”.

There are others. There is another. We will discuss this further in a more appropriate setting.

The weather has been great this long weekend, shorts and t-shirts – no lie. Iqaluit absolutely went to town for Canada Day (minus the fireworks of course, as there is 24 hour sunlight). I’m excited to see what will happen for this next long weekend as July 9th is Nunavut day. Throat singing and wicked arts, oh my!

Well it’s only quarter to ten, but there are dishes to be washed and beds to be slept in.

Miss you,
Sarah :)
