Up at 05:30 to make the high-speed ferry to Victoria. Canada, here we come! Now hand me that Dramamine. # Trying to rally with caffeine, wifi, Bee Gees. A gaggle of police officers just appeared. Victoria is slightly surreal on little sleep. # Woo, gluten-free pizza made to order at The Joint! Thanks, Canada! # I feel that I did not have the proper waterproof wardrobe necessary to fully appreciate our time in Victoria. Our B&B rocked, though. # Nummy rum cocktail while waiting for late-night sushi. Awyeah!

It is a meatloaf and green beans and homework and fun music and good chatting night, and I am grateful. # Torgi dumped one of Zen's catnip toys into her water dish and let it steep. I think he is ready for the UK! # It's not the wedding planning while working full-time and going to grad school, it's the wedding planning *exploding* … # I am #comingout for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality this Coming Out Day.

For the photo a day meme: a photo that makes you sad. Pax lived with my dad and stepmom in 2009. He was only six months old when he ran into the road and was hit by a car. I met him during a short visit home and instantly loved him. I miss his sweet face so much.

For the photo a day meme: a photo of the last place you went on holiday. FunkyPlaid and I had the good fortune to return to Portland, this time accompanied by our dear friends Courtney and Robert. They are fantastic traveling companions, and I will forever remember this trip with great fondness. Here Courtney documents the frightful troll under the bridge on Beacon Rock.
