Another short update week 8 — chilly weather, taxes, workshop disaster, and delightful cupcake

Today is family day! My older sister and I had plans to get ice cream but unfortunately, there was no local restaurant that was open. However, my older sister and I still got some exercise by walking around our neighborhood.

For the last of days, my life is filled with work — day and night. Work is starting to get stressful again since a couple of my team members are out sick.
On February 21st, I had to host a workshop for my team and it was a disaster. I was demonstrating my Microsoft Excel project, and the program kept freezing which led to awkward silences. That said, I was still able to present and mentor my teammates with my new project.
Toronto is back in its wintery state. We are constantly getting snow storms and the weather has turned from spring-like weather to a freezing one. Not to mention, the sudden change in weather led to more hot tea and cozy blankets since the house got colder.
Finally received my tax documents and filed my taxes, which is one thing to take off my mind. :)

Strawberry filled cupcakes

On Feb 24th my older sister brought home homemade strawberry-filled cupcakes; they look and tasted scrumptious, however, the icing was a tad bit too sweet for my liking. But overall, it is amazing, and I hope she does well in selling her cupcakes — I am super excited for her!

Today it was movie night day! Work had been slowly piling up again since a tax season deadline is soon approaching and this is a great way to wind down after a long work week. After work, I went over to my local grocery store and picked up some BBQ lays to indulge in for movie night.
For movie night, I recently did research on one of my favorite animators — Don Bluth — and I realized I never watched one of his top-selling animated films called The Secret of NIHM; hence, I decided to watch this.

On Feb 25th, Toronto has filled with snow again and it was super chilly. I am beginning to think winter will never leave.

I went to Costco to pick up some groceries — black grapes, lettuce, vitamins, a pack of tissue rolls, and many more. I was disappointed that there were no free samples this time.
For the rest of the day, I got cozy and finished reading 1984 by George Orwell (review coming soon). I also went ahead and got started on planning and preparing my blog posts for my art blog. And of course, I have to end off the day by watching Gilmore Girls (halfway through season 5, yay!)
