five events coming up this week
* on wednesday, i go for my mammogram. that's also the day the electricity in my building will be shut off for an hour. the two have nothing to do with each other. i'm just saying.
* apparently, the big desk move -- from utopia to inner-city office space -- at work is happening on or before friday. though, no one's yet delivered the giant, red plastic moving boxes that are the harbingers of interoffice relocation, so maybe not.
* tomorrow, the forecast is for bitterly cold temperatures. coldest day in toronto this winter and, possibly, the coldest day since winter 2011-12. i still plan on walking to work. something about putting on warm layers and my amazing deep-winter hat, then walking for 35 minutes in the frigid air first thing in the morning, makes me giddy.
* i had better find some veterinarians to interview before friday, because i've still got a slew of pet stories that need an expert voice. last week, i sent out FOUR requests, to four different vets in four different cities across canada. know how many of them said yes? none. know how many of them responded at all? none. i even sent TWO follow-ups to each one. how hard is it to hit reply and type "no thank you"?!
* condo hunting continues.

oh.....huh.....wow......i think i fainted a little at #3....
Could you at least get George's vet to talk to you?
not really -- because this is a national magazine, we need vets from outside toronto and, ideally, outside ontario. so, calgary, vancouver, halifax, etc.
plus, i prefer to have more of an arm's-length distance from the experts i interview.
You would think that a vet would like the opportunity to have her or his name in an article that will be read by the public. But not to respond at all is just rude.
Yes, at the moment, it's 28º where Elsie is, but hey, temps will hit 32º by 3 p.m. :-D
I am doing the Perfect Condo Dance.
no kidding! the exposure will be huge!
i sent out three more interview requests this morning and, as of right now (6:32pm)... NO ONE HAS REPLIED.
