the summer has rolled into toronto and it’s damn hot. high above my personal heat threshold anyways… other, well they’re basking in it and worshipping the sun. as june came to a close a chalked a plus one onto the age category and moved into my new home after being a sedentary creature of 12 years. the new place is awesome and is quickly feeling like home – like i’ve lived there for years already despite being surrounded by many unpacked boxes.
